On the Plus Side: Men’s Fashion Gets Extra

O

h, James Corbin. The 23-year-old boy from Brixton, a rising star in men’s modeling with a disarmingly cherubic mien and the kind of big, beautiful eyes that strike you like deep pools of joy and wisdom, is without doubt the most beautiful person I’ve ever met in real life — even if I found myself singing his name to the Jeremy Corbyn x Seven Nation Army mash-up. Perhaps it is all that revolutionary zeal: at 6ft 1in, with a pout that could launch an Ancient Greek fleet, young Corbin is making waves as one of the few — indeed, only — plus-size male models in the luxury fashion game. ‘I sincerely want change,’ says Corbin, sitting at home in Kensal Rise. ‘I just want to have the full experience that a normal model would get and I feel like I deserve that. Plus-size people deserve that and we don’t

Ultra-Processed Foods May Impair Cognition in Elderly

Processed or ultra-processed?

An article earlier this year in the European Journal of Nutrition reported that high consumption of ultra-processed foods is linked to worse-than-average performance on one particular test of cognitive function in older US adults (60+ years-old) who did not have chronic diseases such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease. The particular test was “Animal Fluency.” Never heard of it? Me either. Keep reading.

The study included 2,700 participants, average age 69. Participants were asked to recall what they ate in the prior 24 hours. Foods were “classified according to NOVA, a food classification based on the extent and purpose of industrial food processing, into four mutually exclusive groups: (1) unprocessed or minimally processed foods, (2) processed culinary ingredients, (3) processed foods, and (4) UPFs [ultra-processed foods].”

Ultra-processed foods? “…most foods described as “Frozen meals” or “Lunchables”, as well as some items described as consumed in “Restaurant fast food/pizza”

Once upon a time, making a splash on the red carpet was largely reserved for the ladies, but recent years have proven that the guys can garner just as much style game. While we all still love the look of a classic, perfectly cut suit, nowadays, it’s not unusual to see gentlemen branching out from basic blazers and tuxes to take some sartorial risks and have a bit of fashionable fun. Need proof? Tonight’s Emmy Awards are just the ticket.

As the creative world hands out awards to the best and the brightest of film and television, there’s sure to be plenty said about the dramatic gowns and showstopping looks on the ladies, but we’d be remiss not to point out the style stars in the men’s section as well. From Nicholas Braun to Lee Jung-jae, there were so many stand out men’s looks stepping down the red carpet, we

“One little piece won’t hurt . . .”

An article in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics found an association between overweight/obesity and consumption of ultra–processed foods in US adolescents.

The study looked at 3,600 adolescents who reported their food intake over a 24-hour period. The results are pretty strong: the more ultra-processed food consumed, the greater the odds of overweight and obesity.

Jan at The Low Carb Diabetic blog reported that:

Ultra-processed foods make up ‘two-thirds of calories consumed by children and teens’
Experts from Tufts University in Massachusetts studied two decades of dietary data to 2018 and found that the amount of calories young people consumed from ultra-processed foods jumped from 61 per cent to 67 per cent.

I’m not paying for the JAND scientific report so I don’t know how they defined ultra-processed foods. The definition varies quite
