Links of the week
- Canada’s new food guide is loyal to science, not the food industry – Hey guess what?? The new Canadian food guide that’s receiving tons of praise is pretty much a clone of the Foodist Plate. Amazing what happens when you take industry influence out of dietary guidelines and base it on science. (Treehugger)
- Is Sunscreen the New Margarine? – A lot of this is dead on. I don’t like that he ignores that UV exposure definitely contributes to skin aging, but the relationship between sunscreen and melanoma isn’t as straightforward as you’d think. (Outdoor Online)
- How Exercise May Help Keep Our Memory Sharp – So interesting. I’m excited to see where research on irisin leads. (NY Times)
- Even a 20-Second Exercise ‘Snack’ Can Improve Fitness – Exercise snacks! I’m actually really impressed at the degree of improvement in aerobic fitness from such a brief intervention (5 percent). Remember that there isn’t an amount of exercise that’s so small it’s “not worth it.” Do what you can and build from there. (NY Times)
- Diet and food production must radically change to save planet – Wow. I hope governments around the world (especially the US) start to acknowledge and implement policies to address this reality soon. (ScienceDaily)
- A Simple Brown Rice Sushi Bowl – This vegetarian “sushi” bowl is a beautiful, simple and elegant meal or substantial snack. Love these flavors. (101 Cookbooks)
- Teri’s Sliced Orange Salad with Arugula, Fennel & Shaved Parmesan – I’m a big fan of winter salads. Not usually as the main course, but as a starter. Personally I’d use the wonderfully bitter chicories that are easy to find this time of year rather than arugula, but both are delicious. (Alexandra’s Kitchen)
