  • Study indicates nutrition labels need improvement
    Participants had a better understanding of a food's healthfulness when nutritional facts, such as calories and nutrients, were presented for the entire package, rather than a single serving, an FDA study revealed. The findings, published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, suggest that clearly displaying total calories and nutrients in a container might boost healthy eating habits, researchers said.

  • A well-planned snack can help control calories, RD says
    A good snacking strategy that is planned in advance can reduce hunger and still control calories, registered dietitian Katherine Zeratsky writes. She argues that people should eat only when they are hungry, have healthier foods ready and deal with triggers such as boredom and anxiety that can lead to snacking when they are not hungry.

  • GI obstructions are uncommon in healthy people, dietitian says
    Blockages in the gastrointestinal tract, often the source of urban legends about digestion, are uncommon in healthy individuals, dietitian Tamara Duker Freuman writes. She notes that an accumulation of undigested material that causes a GI blockage is called a "bezoar," and it can come from delayed emptying of the stomach, scar tissue from a past surgery or medical conditions such as Crohn's disease.

Science & Research 
  • Smaller bites might counter distraction-related intake
    In a study, participants who ate soup while watching an animated film had higher food intake, but those who took smaller sips ate 30% less than those who took bigger sips. The results demonstrate that taking smaller bites might curb consumption, researchers wrote in PLoS One. HealthDay News (1/23) LinkedInFacebookTwitterGoogle+Email this Story

  • 20 to 40 minutes of aerobics daily may cut diabetes risk
    Obese children who had 20 minutes or 40 minutes of daily aerobic exercise showed lower body fat and visceral fat levels and significant improvements in insulin resistance compared with those in the control group, a study indicated. The findings in the Journal of the American Medical Association demonstrate that exercise may help curb diabetes risk in patients even at modest daily levels.

  • Kan. county wants a food hub to spur use of local produce
    The Douglas County Food Policy Council in Kansas is studying models for creating a food hub so institutions such as Lawrence Memorial Hospital can buy more locally grown produce. The hospital's food-service manager, Debbie Carter, says it's difficult to regularly find local produce in the quantities needed for 700 patient meals each day.
