This raises warning signs. Let’s see how sneaking vegetables into food just might work! Children become really picky when it comes to food. That’s why nytimes.com brings an interesting approach to putting veggies into meals. Bettina Elias Siegel, author from NYtimes.com, explains that parents may want to check out these new and innovative choices from Oh Yes! This is a food company based in Los Angeles and they have a variety of pizzas available for you and your kids! Basically, the pizza is made with dehydrated veggies. The best part? It’s hidden inside the pie. It’s the perfect way to sneak vegetables past the nose of your picky child! If you’re really having a hard time trying to get the children to eat healthy choices, this may be your solution! Should the Food Industry Sneak Vegetables Into Food?Puréed spinach in brownies. “Red velvet” pancakes made from beets. Oatmeal cookies with cauliflower bits. There are hundreds of creative ways to sneak fruits and vegetables past the wrinkled noses of even the pickiest children. Read more… Author Sandy Skrovan from Fooddive.com says that many consumers seek nutritional value from food rather than fortification. You can’t blame individuals for selecting healthier options. Americans are now getting conscious and a lot are already in favour of eating healthy. Some would even choose healthier food options that the traditional ones, adding fruits and vegetables in their daily meals. Manufacturers noticed this trend already and a lot of new products entered the market claiming to be more convenient and nutritious. This makes it easier for people to get the kind of food that they need every day especially the ones that supply their daily intake. Vegetables Sneak On To The Plate With Manufacturing InnovationsMashed cauliflower. Zucchini spirals. Sweet potato rice. New takes on old favorites we’re hearing more about these days. A key driver: desire for health and wellness. Read more… Kimberly Hibbert from Jamaicaobserver.com says that parents should understand that not all children may like the taste of vegetables. Kids usually protest because of the taste and parents feel helpless. The author takes us into a deeper understanding on what to do especially in fulfilling the role of a parent. There should be perception management, consistent education, and reward system. Parents should eat foods to let their children see that it’s really healthy. There is a need to let the children know about the nutrients that you can get from these foods. Reward them with praise when they eat healthy meals. Sneaking Veggies Into Picky Eaters’ FoodBolton added that we must accept that not all vegetables taste yummy; however, when a particular vegetable has a slightly bitter taste, it’s advisable to mix it with pleasant-tasting vegetables or other foods. Read more… It’s a challenge for everyone to eat their greens and fruits but making little changes in your diet every day might help a lot.

The demand is quite overwhelming. However, in as much as we would want to rejoice over that fact, there’s a more pressing issue on hand. It appears that the Cavendish banana is facing a bigger problem. Fungal diseases are the culprits. We might face a devastating situation if we do not find a solution to these problems. Plant scientists are on the move. They’re trying to develop the genetics of banana varieties as well as pathogens to avoid Cavendish extinction. Can Science Stop The Looming Banana Extinction?The familiar bright yellow Cavendish banana is ubiquitous in supermarkets and fruit bowls, but it is in imminent danger. The vast worldwide monoculture of genetically identical plants leaves the Cavendish intensely vulnerable to disease outbreaks. Read more… Jacqueline Mazur from Wgno.com says that this type of species belong to the group of 47 percent bananas grown worldwide, and 99 percent sold for exportation purposes. The diseases severely affected the industry before and it was the fungus Fusariumoxysporumf.sp. cubense (Foc) that started it. It infects the root and vascular system of the plan which results to wilting and eventually leads to the death of the plant. This is the condition known as Fusarium wilt. It’s quite difficult to resolve because this spreads in soil, water and plant material. The fungus is capable of living in the soil for decades. Even fungicides have been ineffective but the good thing is, the Cavendish species is resistant to this strain. The actual problem now is a new strain of Fusariumoxysporum, or Tropical Race 4 (TR4). Don’t Go Bananas! Scientists Are Trying To Save Bananas From ExtinctionFungal diseases severely devastated the banana industry at least once in history and the fungus Fusariumoxysporumf.sp. cubense (Foc) is known to infect banana plant root and vascular systems thus inhibiting the plant from transporting water and nutrients, eventually causing the plant to wilt and die. Read more… Brianna Wippman from Foodandwine.com says that another type of infection is the Black Sigatoka. It is currently being managed by growers through pruning and fungicide application because if it is not controlled, production may decline by 35-50 percent. On the other hand, TR4 is even a more serious issue and it definitely gives us signs of trouble. It hasn’t reached Latin America and the Caribbean. Scientists can buy some time in replacing the breed. It’s a good thing that researchers were able to determine the genome sequencing of both the fruit and fungi which helps find disease-resistant genes in bananas. Bananas Could Be Heading for ExtinctionEnjoy your smoothies and pancakes while you still can; bananas could soon disappear. According to The Conversation, a disease known as Tropical Race (TR4) is threatening banana crops in the Middle East, Africa and many Southeast Asian countries.Read more… Hopefully, the scientists will be able to find a definite solution to the problem. We certainly do not want to lose this potassium-rich fruit.

A theory says that the folding is linked to evolution. It is a means to condense the cortex and enhance functions. Researchers have discovered how folds occur and its relation to aging. The scientists found that it loses tension when people get older. Apparently, it is even more obvious for patients with Alzheimer’s. This is critical as it is responsible for functions like consciousness, language, intelligence and memory. Brain Folding ‘Slackens’ With Age, Study FindsTheory holds that the folding brain is a result of evolution, a way to condense the cerebral cortex and improve brain cell communication and functioning. Now, researchers have shed light on how folding occurs in the human brain and how it changes with age. Read more… Sciencefocus.com writer Gertie Goddard says that the lack of tension or elasticity is part of the “universal law.” This leads us to those who stand out – especially the ones who already have neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. This can possibly help out diagnosis as well as the treatment of the condition. Lead author Dr. Yujiang Wang says that they saw a parameter that goes down with age. They interpreted it as the change in the elasticity. This study has a good potential for future use because factors like age, gender and disease can be compared. Brains ‘Slacken’ As They AgeIt is amazing to think that if just one half of the cerebral cortex – the wrinkled outer layer of neural brain tissue – was unfolded and laid flat, it would have a surface area one and half times the size of an A4 paper (or 100,000mm-squared to be precise). Read more… D.C. Demetre from Reliawire.com reports that in female subjects, the brains are less slightly folded compared with the male brains. Their ages are the same. Dr. Wang says that for the first time, they have a method of quantifying the folding occurrences in humans. The author says the study needs more work and investigation but it’s has promising leads in Alzheimer’s. The ones affected by this condition have similar folding which is the same with premature aging of the cortex. How Brain Cortical Folding Changes As You AgeThroughout the lifespan of healthy individuals, cortical folding changes in the same way in both men and women but in those with Alzheimer’s disease the change in the brain folding was significantly different. Read more… The study is still fairly new and there might be advances in the next few years. Future investigations may provide the way for new discoveries about the brain.

Women Protest Sexist Letter Saying They Shouldnt Wear Yoga Pants In Public10/25/2016 There are few things more infuriating than telling a woman what she should and shouldn’t wear. Telling her she’s “bizarre” or “disturbing” for publicly wearing yoga pants—god’s gift to everyday lower extremity comfort—is literally opening the floodgates for hell’s fury.

The researchers study found small but relevant changes in the brain performance after football players did the experiment. To be exact, it was reported to reduce memory function within 24 hours and it lowered the brain’s performance 41% to 67%. One of the authors of the study said that it would be best to avoid the sport before exams and such. The University of Stirling was the one who conducted the study and it was released in EBioMedicine. Heading Footballs ‘Affects Memory’Researchers said they had identified “small but significant changes in brain function” after players headed the ball 20 times. Memory performance was reduced by between 41% and 67% in the 24 hours after routine heading practice. Read more… Sean Ingle from theguardian.com tackles the issue concerning the long-term effects of heading a ball. England 1970 World Cup center, Jeff Astle, died as a result of head trauma. He suffered from early stage dementia which the coroner reports to be the result of heading footballs. Study finds heading a football has immediate effect on the brainA brain re-examination discovered that he had Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). This progressive brain disease can only be determined at death. It’s reported to be rampant in the brains of deceased American footballers, boxers and rugby players. Read more… Rte.ie reports that Astle’s daughter encourages further investigation concerning the matter. Now, the study has found some significant results. The experiment involved 19 footballers and they headed a ball for 20 times. A machine specifically designed to simulate pace and power was used to fire the ball. The players were tested before and after the sessions. The frequencies of their test were after 24 hours, 48 hours and two weeks. What’s really mind-boggling about the results is that their conditions stabilize after 24 hours. It hasn’t been established yet if the effects are temporary or long term. Research Shows Heading Footballs Affects BrainAstle’s daughter Dawn has been campaigning for more research into the matter and was told by the Football Association and the Professional Footballers’ Association in late 2014 that they were talking to FIFA. Read more… It may be risky for children to be exposed to this sport but hopefully, further results would indicate a good outcome. In the meantime, it may be safe to exercise caution and awareness about the sport.

Find out about the results! Foxnews.com reports that most studies focus on the older generation of footballers. Now, a recent study concerning the effects of the sport to young footballers, show crucial results. Participating in just one season can affect the brain immensely. Changes in the brain happen even without a formal diagnosis for a concussion. The basis of most investigators is the concussion but there’s no apparent examination concerning the hundreds of head impacts that happen in a game. This study changes that entire thought. Children At Risk Of Brain Changes After 1 Season Of Youth FootballWhile studies focusing on retired professional football players and those who reached collegiate level of play have reported on the damaging effects the sport can have on the brain, new research focusing on children has found that playing just a single season of youth football can put them at risk for measurable brain changes – even if they never received a clinical diagnosis of a concussion. Read more… Nbcnews.com says that the study concludes: the more a child experiences head impact, the greater the changes that happen in their brain tissue. This includes even the young athletes who were not diagnosed with concussion. The initial results do not confirm whether or not the effects are permanent or disease-causing. This results to parents questioning the safety of the sport. Is Football Safe for Kids? New Study Finds Brain ChangesThe more head blows a child sustained, the more changes were seen in their brain tissue, according to the study released Monday. The effect was seen even in young players who did not have a concussion. Read more… Honor Whiteman from Medicalnewstoday.com reports that the young players who had the most exposure to head impact shows the greater changes in the white matter of their brains. More than 30 million children and adolescents in the United States are actively participating in any form of sports. It’s sure to benefit the entire family and of course, your health. However there might be risks that cannot be ignored. For example, injuries relating to contact sports like basketball and football. The serious ones are those related to head injuries. Youth Football Players Show Brain Changes After Just One SeasonWhen it comes to head impact in youth football, it is not just concussion that affects the brain. In a new study, researchers identified white matter changes in the brains of children after just a single season of playing football, even in the absence of a concussion diagnosis. Read more… The study is fairly new and it’s too early to tell. However, as parents, you can never be too sure. You can never go wrong about stressing the importance of safety and caution to your kids.

Major examples are menopause diagnosis and x-rays for lower back pain. The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges discusses at least 40 of these procedures. The purpose is to minimize these medical procedures that don’t really help. Patients are told to ask more questions about these methods to encourage awareness. Experts from 11 specializations contributed to determining five procedures that were not that valuable. Doctors Name Treatments That Bring Little Or No BenefitUse water to clean cuts and grazes, say doctors who have drawn up a list of unnecessary treatments for patients. Women over 45 do not need a blood test to diagnose the menopause and X-rays are no real help to those with lower back pain, doctors have said. Read more… Helen William from Mirror.co.uk explains that less is more as doctors established that these kinds of methods offers only little benefit for people. Senior practitioners say that these don’t have actual use for helping a range of illnesses. It is their motivation to let patients make the right decisions in terms of healthcare. Choosing Wisely is a UK campaign that suggests “more doesn’t always mean better.” 82 percent of doctors said in a study last year that they carried out orders that were deemed unnecessary. The major reason for this is patient expectation or pressure. The campaign’s goal is to reduce the over-medicalization rate and provide a stable foundation for a well-made decision concerning health benefits and risks. It also suggests a thorough discussion of appropriate solutions. Less Can Be More As Doctors Name Treatments That Bring Little Or No Benefit For PatientsX -rays are no help to those with lower back pain, says the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges. Read more… Chloe Chaplain from Standard.co.uk enumerates just some of the methods for patients that were deemed as unneeded based on the recent campaign. This serves as a motivation for practitioners as well as patients to consider the risks, downsides, and effects of the said procedures. It would be ideal if there would be choices for simpler and safer options. One major concern that she discussed is chemotherapy. There are those who opt for this because it can relieve symptoms. However, there are factors to take note. It may be effective but at the same time, it can cause a lot of distress for the patient because of the pain. Unnecessary procedures: Senior doctors believe patient pressure impacts medical treatmentIt suggests patients should be encouraged ask about the risks or downsides, the possible side effects, if there simpler or safer options, and “what will happen if I do nothing? Read more… Though it makes sense to note that the form and the need for procedures differ greatly in every disease, it pays to be knowledgeable enough in these areas so you can make an informed and wise decision.
