Links of the week
- The FDA is making a big change to nutrition labels. And it’s probably a big mistake. <<You’d think a huge organization who crafts national recommendations would try testing out their ideas on a pilot group before launching it on the rest of us. Oh well. (Washington Post)
- How Much Does Sugar Contribute to Obesity? <<The science is more complicated than you think. Don’t assume too much. (Whole Health Source)
- Drinking water before meals leads to weight loss <<Easy enough. (Obesity Panacea)
- Regular Mealtimes Make You Eat More Healthily, Study Finds <<My guess is that this is prompted by better planning. Your behaviors that support how you eat are just as important as what you actually eat, so don’t neglect them. (TIME)
- How to Deal with Your Family’s Bad Habits <<Good advice for a challenging topic. (Zen Habits)
- Feeding Infants: Why My Daughters Could Eat Bananas and My Grandchildren Cannot <<I’ve been sharing the results of these allergy studies over the years, but it sounds like the medical community is pretty slow to adapt to new science. If you’ll be feeding infants any time in the near future, you’ll need to make it your business to keep up on the latest science yourself. (Huffington Post)
- How to Create a String of Success <<The title is confusing, but the idea in the article about Hinge Habits is really cool. For me they are eating vegetables, shopping at the farmers market, cooking at home, being active and meditating. How about you? (Mark’s Daily Apple)
- Bicycle Desks: Better Than the Gym <<You can get pedals for under your desk for much cheaper than a real bike. Not a bad idea if you have a sedentary job. (The Atlantic)
- 9 Reasons Pet Owners Are Healthier, Happier People <<The science here isn’t as rock solid as the article assumes, but pets certainly bring a lot of light to your home if they are welcome. And it is well documented that happier people are healthier people. (mindbodygreen)
- Fresh Corn, Tomato, Avocado and Basil Salad <<The essence of summer. These flavors are why this is my favorite time of year. (David Leibovitz)
