Old stories tell us about the tradition of giving lactating mothers the best meals in the house so they would make the best milk for the baby. The freshest vegetables and fruits, the best cuts of meat, bread just baked, were reserved for the lactating mother because her nutrition was anecdotally connected to the quality of the milk she produced, and mothers milk was believed to be the best nutrition a baby could receive.

Years later, research has shown, confirming what tradition claimed, that human milk is the optimal nutrition source for neonates and infants, and in this study researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a mechanism by which nutrition can modulate the beneficial composition of the mothers milk.

Mothers milk confers protection against both immediately life-threatening infant diseases such as necrotizing enterocolitis, as well as later onset diseases in adults, like obesity, diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease, said Dr. Kjersti Aagaard, Henry and Emma Meyer Chair in Obstetrics and Gynecology and professor of molecular and human genetics at Baylor and Texas Childrens Hospital. Scientific evidence suggests that what a mother eats while she is breastfeeding can modulate the beneficial composition of the mothers milk, but the underlying mechanisms involved have not been elucidated.

In previous work in both humans and primates, Aagaard and her colleagues found that what a pregnant woman eats during pregnancy can affect her childs lifelong metabolic health. In the current study they investigated the effect of the diet of a breastfeeding mother on the composition of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs).

Feeding the microbiomeThis was particularly exciting, since HMOs are basically inert substances to a mother or her baby. However, they exert their health benefits by acting as food or fodder to microbes both bacteria and some viruses. This appears to be a very interesting example where what we eat affects our microbes via an intermediate (the HMOs), which we make but dont directly benefit from. It gives us a fascinating glimpse into what we and others believe is a natural co-evolution process, Aagaard said.

These insights are important because it has been proposed that the establishment of a healthy microbiome in the newborn and infant influences lifelong metabolic health.

To determine how diet can affect the mothers HMOs, the researchers worked with Dr. Morey Haymond, professor of pediatrics-nutrition at Baylor. The team supplied breastfeeding mothers with all their meals in a controlled setting at the USDA Childrens Nutrition Research Center. The mothers consumed a particular diet for 30 to 70 hours. After a two-week washout period, the same woman ate a different diet also provided by the researchers.

The researchers carefully collected milk samples from each subject at these different time points including the diet switches. In this way, each woman could serve as her own control, something referred to as a cross-over trial design. This helped the researchers to control for the possibility of how individual women may vary one to the next in the amount of HMOs made, as well as the possibility of confusing microbes in the milk with environmental contaminants. The team analyzed the HMO and microbiome composition of the milk and gleaned clues as to the effect of the mothers diet.

We found that distinct maternal carbohydrate and energy sources in the diets we provided preferentially altered the milk concentrations of HMOs, and this was accompanied by changes in the metabolic capacity of the milk microbiome, said first author Dr. Maxim Seferovic, instructor of obstetrics and gynecology at Baylor working in the Aagaard lab. It is not that the maternal diet itself is directly affecting the microbes, but that the diet affects the microbes food, the HMOs, which in turn shape the functional capacity of the community of microbes in the milk that will be consumed by the baby. Interestingly, the changes in HMO occurred quickly, in a matter of 2 to 3 days, after the mothers changed their diet.

Potential effects for both the baby and the lactating motherThe researchers propose that the findings can have implications not only for the baby but also for the mother.

We propose that our findings can have potential effects on babys health and development, including the potential for promoting healthy gut integrity at the mucosal surface. HMOs feed certain microbial communities, and it has been suggested that the establishment of those microbial communities is probably important for neonatal development of brain function, said co-author Dr. Melinda Engevik, postdoctoral fellow in pathology and immunology at Baylor.

We speculate that having certain HMOs promotes the growth of certain microbes in the milk, which then pass to the baby and may promote healthy development.

One other exciting aspect of our study is the suggestion that HMOs seem to preferentially affect the growth potential of microbes that may also impart health risk or benefit for the mother. For instance, by shaping the community of microbes in the milk in ways that may favor the growth of certain beneficial microbes via the simultaneous exclusion of those that cause mastitis during breastfeeding, Aagaard said.

If not treated with antibiotics, mastitis, or the painful inflammation of breast tissue that typically involves an infection, prevents breastfeeding and can become a serious condition.

HMOs also can potentially prompt a healthy microbiome in other ways. For example, by feeding the good microbes, acting as a decoy that attracts and sequesters potentially dangerous microbes and by breaking down and producing nutrients that may benefit other microbes.

5 Healthy legumes to add to your daily diet and promote overall good health - PINKVILLA

Intuitive eating is a great way to change your relationship with food, without needing to count calories or cut out specific foods from your diet. Intuitive eating is all about listening to your body and eating according to your body's needs. The focus of intuitive eating is not on weight loss, but on mindfulness.

Here's what you need to know about intuitive eating as well as how to do it.

Intuitive eating involves eating when you are physically hungry and stopping when you feel full. Essentially, it encourages you to listen to your body to guide your eating habits, says Erin Holley, RD, registered dietitian at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.

"The principles of intuitive eating will help you reconnect with that innate ability to eat without other messages clouding what, when, and how much to eat," says Holley.

The practice of intuitive eating comes from a book called Intuitive Eating written by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch, who are Registered Dietitian Nutritionists. Originally published in 1995, the book is now in its fourth edition, and the practice of intuitive eating is still recommended by dietitians and nutritionists.

There are 10 principles of intuitive eating, according to the book.

Unlike a traditional diet, nothing is specifically off-limits with intuitive eating. There is no limiting of specific foods or counting of calories.

"This isn't a diet. It's really about changing your relationship with food and having more awareness and attunement with your own body and eating in response to that," says Holley.

Additionally, intuitive eating focuses on a more holistic approach to a healthy lifestyle.

"The overall idea of those principles is that complicated and restrictive diets tend to fail and the most important goal is to focus on a healthy diet and lifestyle," says Artur Viana, MD, clinical director of the Metabolic Health & Weight Loss Program at Yale Medicine.

For example, Viana says intuitive eating allows you to appreciate food that you enjoy that you might not be "permitted" to eat when you're on pre-packaged or fad diets.

Plus, Viana says intuitive eating is really based on listening to your own body, particularly the cues it gives you related to hunger and fullness, as well as how you respond to emotions, and the role of food in your life.

A 2014 meta-analysis of 26 studies concluded that intuitive eating is a great way to maintain weight and possibly improve health markers such as blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Additionally, Viana says intuitive eating is related to better body image and is also used to treat and prevent eating disorders such as binge eating.

Another 2014 review of 20 studies found that intuitive eating was associated with positive psychological benefits including better self-esteem and quality of life, and less depression and anxiety.

Important: Intuitive eating does not promise weight loss, Holley says. If someone is promoting intuitive eating as a way to lose weight, she says they are probably promoting a diet alongside it, which goes against the principles of intuitive eating.

There are several actionable ways that you can practice intuitive eating. Some tips include:

Intuitive eating may not be for everybody. "Intuitive eating is just another framework to think about lifestyle, and not necessarily the only or best approach to food," says Viana.

If you aren't sure if intuitive eating is the best approach for you, be sure to talk to your doctor to determine if intuitive eating would be a good fit.

More than a million people in 50 countries were questioned by the UnitedNationsDevelopmentProgramme(UNDP) and Oxford University. Almost half the participants were aged between 14 and 18.

It is the first time thatlarge-scalepolling of public opinion about climate change has ever been carried out in many of the participating countries.

The overall findings from young and old showed that 64% of participants believe that climate change is now a global emergency. This idea had the highest support in the UK and Italy where more than 80% were in favour. A majority ofall ages agreed climate change is a global emergency.

Conserving forests and lands were the most popular solutions, followed by using more renewable energy. In high-income countries there was a significant majority of support for reducing food waste. But the least favoured of the 18 policy suggestions presented in the poll was switching to a plant-based diet, which was backed by only 30% of those surveyed and failed to attract majority public support in any country. Support was highest in Germany (44%) and the UK (43%).

Four climate policies emerged as the most popular globally:

1. Conservation of forests and land (54% public support)

2. Solar, wind and renewable power (53%)

3. Climate-friendly farming techniques (52%); and

4. Investing more in green businesses and jobs (50%)

The UN Climate Change report last year said that a shift towardplant-based diets is one of the most significant ways to reduce greenhouse gases from the agriculture sector.

Balanced diets, featuring plant-based foods, such as those based on coarse grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, and animal-sourced food produced in resilient, sustainable and low-[greenhouse gas] emission systems, present major opportunities for adaptation and mitigation while generating significant co-benefits in terms of human health, the report said.

The UNDP survey, which did not define plant-based diets for respondents, claimed the low score for plant-based diet adoption did not signify people are against the policy. This could be an important opportunity for further education on these topics, it said, adding in some countries, there are few plant-based options. In others, there may not yet be significant awareness about these options. In others, people may have felt that diet is more of a personal choice than something that can be promoted.

Steven Fisher, Professor from Oxford University, told FoodNavigator:The report does speculate that education to increase awareness and understanding of the importance of plant-based diet is an issue here.

But the UKs Association of IndependentMeatSuppliers (AIMS) said the finding was simply down to peoples preferences. Consumers continue to buy meat because they enjoy eating meat, a spokesperson told FoodNavigator. They appreciate the clear health benefits that it offers to their diets and rightly are shying away from the shouty, preachy content of the plant-based diet promotors.

The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board(AHDB) has just launched a 1.5m Eat Balanced TV ledadvertisingcampaign, encouraging more British households to continue eating meat and dairy as part of a balanced diet.

The AIMS spokesperson added: Furthermore, we believe that consumers are questioning the globalised plant based-brands and their alleged green credentials and through campaigns such as AHDBs Eat Balanced have chosen to stick with the positive health and environment messages of British livestock production.

The British Meat Processors Association added that as consumers become increasingly informed about the true impact that different foods have both on their health and the health of the planet, responsibly produced meat and dairy will play a significant role.

The new UN survey suggests that people would rather change other aspects of their lifestyle to help the environment than cut out two of the most nutritionally important elements of their diet; meat and dairy, a spokesperson told us. And, as they realise that sustainable livestock farming can be part of the solution to climate change, the choice between these natural whole foods and the new ultra-processed plant-based alternatives will become easier to make.

The spokesperson added that consumers both in Britain and around the world are becoming increasingly aware of the differences in farming systems and are realising that giving up eating British meat will be of much less environmental benefit than giving up eating Brazilian meat.

Its also becoming known that substituting British meat for a more environmentally damaging processed plant-based alternative could mean that concerned consumers inadvertently create the opposite effect to the one they intended.

Sam Feltham, Director of the Public Health Collaboration charity and Organuary, which promotes the health and environmental benefits of organ meats, told FoodNavigator: "We are also very concernedabout climate change and agree with the majority of people that switching to a plant-based diet is a least favourable solution. Well managed livestock on pasture is one of the most powerful ways to sequester carbon in the soil and the only way to make it a sustainable solution would be to keep meat and animal products at large inour diets."

Veganism is a practice that focuses on eliminating all animal products, including milk and dairy. Plant-based diets may not necessarily eliminate all animal products, but the focus would definitely be on eating more plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts etc.In the fun AMA session she also revealed that she first joined the gym to "check out" her now husband Chay Akkineni, and spend more time together with him. Gradually, she also became passionate about fitness.

Her 2021 resolutions include sticking to a wholesome plant-based diet, make breath work, yoga and meditation a part of her daily routine and make sure she is happy, she revealed in the session.

After he briefly removed it from the Resolute Desk, President Joe Biden has brought back a call button President Donald Trump used to order Diet Cokes while sitting in the Oval Office.

Photos from Monday show the call box sitting next to Biden's phones, the same place Trump put the box when he sat at the desk.

The call box was not seen in pictures of Biden on his first day in office last week.

Trump used the wooden call box throughout his entire presidency and first showed it off in 2017 interviews withThe Associated Pressand theFinancial Times, during which he told reporters: "Everyone does get a little nervous when I press that button."

The call box has been around for decades, and other recent presidents have also been pictured in the White House with it, including Barack Obama and George W. Bush.

It can be used to call White House staff, Secret Service agents, and other officials, but Trump appeared to have told his staff that if he pressed the button, he wanted a Diet Coke.

It's unclear if Biden has a specific use for the button or if it will be used more generally.

Like presidents before him, Biden also changed a number of decorations upon entering the Oval Office.

Biden replaced a portrait ofPresident Andrew Jackson with a portrait of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and opted to feature a number of progressive politicians and activists throughout the room, including Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Eleanor Roosevelt, and the labor leader and civil-rights activist Cesar Chavez.

He also chose to display portraits of Benjamin Franklin, President Thomas Jefferson, and Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton.

Each January brings the arrival of resolutions: New year, new you is peppered into media cycles, social networks, and our brains, like tea slowly steeping. Much of this dialogue can be characterized as an example of diet culture, a set of customs, rules, and valuessome of which contradict each otherthat equate body shape or size with moral value and health. Often, this is done by promoting weight loss, vilifying certain foods while exalting others, and stigmatizing those who dont match its suggested image of what "healthy" looks like.

Diet culture is bolstered by the health and wellness industry, which in the U.S. alone is an annual business of $707 billion. Yet evidence that most diets are unsuccessfulin fact, they are the leading determinants of weight gainhighlights that aiming for a certain body size is an inaccurate prescription for improved health. (Research supports that tracking BMI, a measure of body fat based on height and weight, is another faulty model of determining physical condition.) Whats more, these external rules usually come at the expense of disassociating from internal cues, like hunger, food preferences, and energy levels. And for all of the aims taken at specifying or promoting an optimal path to health, the term itself is innately vague: highly individual and subjectively definable by environment, income and lived experience, to name a few.

At this stage, the body enters a state of ketosis where it utilizes the ketone bodies for energy production.High-Fat consumption leads to the oxidation of fatty acids in the mitochondria.

The ketone bodies ?-hydroxybutyrate, acetone and acetoacetate are synthesized which are able to cross the blood barrier and provide as an alternative source of energy for the brain.The ketogenic diet is known to be helpful in the reduction of weight approximately twice compared to the diet on a calorie-restricted low-fat diet.

A ketogenic diet leads to a natural reduction in appetite that proves to be beneficial to the consumers trying to lose weight. With the increasing awareness about ketogen diet, there has been a rising demand for the introduction of ketogenic diet in various cuisines.
