EW diet and health

  • Beyond sugar, salt, fat: Rethinking ultra-processed foods and reform

    Ultra-processed foods are a major nutrition debate because the science, policy, and consumer advice do not line up neatly. Understanding the limits of evidence, the role of convenience and palatability, and the need for better food classifications helps readers make more informed choices.

  • Could a keto diet boost brain health?

    A promising mouse study suggests ketosis may influence synapse function, but that is not the same as proving a keto diet improves human cognition. The bigger question is whether any brain benefit can be sustained without nutritional gaps or cardiovascular trade-offs.

  • What are the nutritional needs of older people?

    Healthy ageing depends on more than calorie intake. This topic matters because older adults face changing nutrient needs, higher malnutrition risk, and public-health advice that may not fit their real-world barriers, making practical, evidence-aware nutrition especially important.

  • Hangry like the wolf

    This piece matters because weight loss is not only about calories or discipline; it also touches mood, hunger, sleep, and the risk of turning self-monitoring into something unhelpful. Readers interested in diet and health may find the balance between structure and flexibility especially relevant.

  • How to Keep Your Kidney’s Functioning Optimally

    Kidney health depends on more than drinking water: long-term protection is tied to blood pressure, glucose control, medication safety and realistic lifestyle habits. Understanding what is evidence-based versus oversimplified helps readers make safer choices, especially when they already have metabolic or cardiovascular risk factors.

  • Fighting fatphobia

    This matters because weight stigma can distort both healthcare and public health thinking. The article highlights why body size is an imperfect proxy for illness, why blaming people for weight loss failures can be misleading, and why respectful, symptom-based care is often the better path.

  • Can I use nasal spray every day?

    Daily nasal spray use is a common allergy-management question, but safety depends on the type of spray, how it is used and the person’s health context. The key issue is distinguishing routine, labeled use from overuse, contamination risk and situations that warrant medical advice.
