For the Love of Food
Welcome to Friday’s For The Love of Food, Summer Tomato’s weekly link roundup.
This week stop avoiding white foods, the secret to exercise motivation, and why eating off the floor isn’t so bad.
Too busy to read them all? Try this awesome free speed reading app to read at 300+ wpm. So neat!
I also share links on Twitter @summertomato and the Summer Tomato Facebook page. I’m very active on all these sites and would love to connect with you.
Links of the week
- Michelle Segar and Darya Rose on How to Make Exercise a Joyful Activity <<I had a conversation with the author of one of my favorite books on exercise psychology No Sweat. If you’re struggling to develop an exercise habit definitely check it out. (Heleo)
- Sure, ‘eat the rainbow’ — but don’t pass over these paler foods <<I love this. “White foods” are often shunned as low in nutritional value (thanks sugar and flour), but when it comes to vegetables and fruits whites are just as good as the rest. (Washington Post)
- I’m a Doctor. If I Drop Food on the Kitchen Floor, I Still Eat It. <<What would you guess is the dirtiest surface in your house? (NY Times)
- Big Soda May Be Messing With Our Most Trusted Health Organizations <<Just a reminder that companies who produce some of the planet’s most unhealthy consumables are rarely interested in your wellbeing when they sponsor national health organizations. (Huffington Post)
- WHO takes action against sugary drinks, urges taxes <<Glad to see the WHO isn’t interested in such bribery. They deserve applause for taking this bold stance. (Food Politics)
- Calcium Supplements May Not Be Heart Healthy <<It’s been known for a while that calcium supplements stiffen arteries, but here’s a refresher. (Medline)
- Do we have a food movement? The New York Times food issue <<I’m always interested in Marion Nestle’s opinion when it comes to the status of food politics in America. Her take on last week’s NY Times food issue is worth reading. (Food Politics)
- Exercise releases hormone that helps shed, prevent fat <<Isn’t science the coolest? They’ve discovered new functions for a protein released during exercise that adds to the impossibly long list of the exercise benefits. (ScienceDaily)
- The Serious Eats Guide to Beans <<Everything you need to know about one of my favorite food groups. (Serious Eats)
