Health Watch: Why you should consider the Mediterranean diet Comment DailyTidings.com Writer Posted Jan. 23, 2015 @ 12:01 am Posted Jan. 23, 2015 @ 12:01 am » Social News TIP OF THE WEEK A healthy diet can be the foundation of a healthy life. While there are many food choices and diet options, one diet consistently grabs the attention of researchers. “The Mediterranean diet has been, and continues to be, studied widely,” says physician assistant Tricia A. Howard, a faculty member at South University. “I would recommend considering the Mediterranean diet to anyone who wants to make a healthy lifestyle change.” The Mediterranean diet is named after the geographical part of the world where most people consume plentiful amounts of fruits, vegetables, olive oil, nuts and fish. “This is a diet high in antioxidants and anti-inflammatories, which have many important health benefits,” explains Howard. Some of the benefits of the Mediterranean diet can be seen quickly. Howard says many patients see improvement in cholesterol levels and begin to lose weight within a few months of adopting the diet. Numerous research studies show that the long-term benefits include a decreased risk of heart disease and some types of cancer. But Howard cautions that the Mediterranean diet is not about quick fixes. Instead, it is a lifestyle change that you need to follow consistently for years in order to reap all the benefits. — Brandpoint CHILDREN’S HEALTH Thinking ahead: The benefits of Head Start — a free program for kids ages 3-5 living in poverty — may be more than academic, new research shows. According to researchers at the University of Michigan Center for Human Growth and Development, kids who participate in Head Start have healthier weights by kindergarten than kids who do not. The research also showed that overweight kids in Head Start lost weight faster than their peers who were not in Head Start. — More Content Now SENIOR HEALTH B12 benefits: Seniors should be looking for foods rich in vitamin B12 so they can stay mentally sharp, experts say. The vitamin can be found in foods like fish, beef, tofu and dairy products. As we get older, our bodies have a harder time absorbing B12 from food, leading to problems like anemia, fatigue, depression and memory loss. A doctor may choose to test your B12 levels and prescribe you a vitamin supplement to correct the imbalance. — More Content Now NEW RESEARCH Bad habits: Although many Americans make New Year’s resolutions to lose weight or get in better shape every January, a new study published in the journal PLOS ONE shows that Americans purchase bigger quantities of high-calorie foods between January and March than the rest of the year. Led by Lizzy Pope of Cornell University’s Food & Brand Lab, the study showed that while some participants added more veggies to their shopping lists, they bought healthy items in addition to cookies, chips and other junk food items. — More Content Now BOOK PICK “A Short Guide to a Long Life,” by Dr. David B.
