Insomnia and poor sleep with endometriosis

Sleep quality in individuals with endometriosis is significantly worse than those without it (Nunes et al., 2015). It seems like a no-brainer that pain and other symptoms from endometriosis can affect sleep quality. In fact, pain from endometriosis is known to affect a person’s “work/school, daily activities, exercise, and sleep to a moderate-extreme degree” (DiVasta et al., 2018).

Plant-Based Meat Fact Sheet

We can address human health and climate crises at the same time by increasing consumption of plant-based foods, including animal-free meat substitutes, and substantially reducing our intake of meat, eggs, and dairy. What does the latest research on plant-based meat alternatives say? This fact sheet is a summary of the main takeaways. Get this fact sheet as a downloadable PDF here . For more details about these studies, watch the free videos on the NutritionFacts.org’s  YouTube channel or on the website’s Meat Substitutes topic page . from NutritionFacts.org https://nutritionfacts.org/2023/02/09/plant-based-meat-fact-sheet/ via IFTTT

What Are the Best Foods for Gingivitis and Halitosis?

I discuss the best and worst foods for gum inflammation and bad breath. Yes, saturated fats produce an inflammatory response, and, yes, inflammation is “ recognized as one of the key underlying etiologic [causal] factors in periodontal disease.” That could explain why moderating our intake of meat and dairy could “ promote periodontal health,” but plant-based diets don’t just offer lower levels of saturated fat, cholesterol, and animal protein. They also have higher levels of complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytochemicals. So, we don’t necessarily know what the mechanism is. Saturated fat intake is associated with the progression of periodontal disease, but, at the same time, dietary fiber intake may be protective. Either way, you don’t know until you put it to the test.   As I discuss in my video Best Foods for Halitosis and Gingivitis , a randomized controlled trial investigated the effect of a dietary intervention on dental ...

A Plant-Based Workplace Wellness Program Put to the Test

Image
What is the return on investment for educating employees about healthy eating and living? “How do you wipe out the nation’s heart disease epidemic?” Those were the opening words to an editorial by Dr. Michael Jacobson, co-founder of Center for Science in the Public Interest, in the October 2005 issue of the charity’s Nutrition Action publication. Wrote Jacobson, “The best approach I’ve seen is the Coronary Health Improvement Project (CHIP),” which was renamed the Complete Health Improvement Program and then most recently, Pivio. CHIP tells people to eat more whole plant foods and less meat, dairy, eggs, and processed junk. It is considered to be “a premier lifestyle intervention targeting chronic disease that has been offered for more than 25 years.” More than 60,000 individuals have completed the program, which I discuss in my video A Workplace Wellness Program That Works . Most CHIP classes are “ facilitated by volunteer directors, sourced primarily through the Seventh-Day Adven...
