Losing weight boosts memory in older women

Losing weight boosts memory in older women

Weight loss could result in improved memory in older, overweight women, a new small study has suggested.
Additionally, the study also showed that the women’s brain activity actually changes in the regions of the brain vital for memory tasks after weight loss, the Huffington Post reported.
Lead author Andreas Pettersson, M.D., a Ph.D. student at Umea University in Sweden, said in a statement that their findings suggest that obesity-associated impairments in memory function are reversible, adding incentive for weight loss.
The researchers studied 20 overweight, post-menopausal women with an average age of 61, and randomly assigned them to one of two healthy diets for six months.
They measured their body mass index (BMI) before and after the diet, and tested their episodic memory by making them remember unknown pairs of faces and names, then recall which letter each person’s name began with.

They found that memory performance got a boost after weight loss, and their brain scans confirmed they had grown more adept at storing and recalling memories.

Food and exercise tips for summer slim down

Food and exercise tips for summer slim down :

University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) exercise and nutrition experts have offered tips for those in search of a summer slim down.

EatRight by UAB Weight Management Services Clinical Dietitian Lindsey Lee R.D., said nutrition is necessary to support weight loss efforts.

“Incorporate good nutrition habits — eating fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy products, whole grains and lean protein sources — to get the calories you need to maintain an exercise program,” Lee said.

“If you restrict calories too much, you could start to feel burn out,” Lee stated.

To bolster the burn, Lee suggested: Fill up on lower calorie fruits and vegetables, choose water over high calorie sodas and decrease high calorie, high fat options.

The expert suggests switching up food preparation: Instead of steaming vegetables, grill them or toss unique vegetables like skewered okra or fresh asparagus on the grill.

“The one important thing to remember is to limit the fat source you use. Try different herbs and spices to season your veggies instead of heavy amounts of olive oil, canola oil, or butter,” Lee said.

Restaurant meals can be deceptive and pose a special challenge to healthy eating.

Get your portions under control

Get your portions under control :

You want to lose weight, but you end up overeating every time you’re at the dining table? Our simple tips on portion control come to your rescue.

Easy tips to help in portion control :

Eat slowly: Did you know it takes about 20 minutes for your brain to register that your stomach is full? Therefore, the chances of overeating are higher when you eat fast. So chew your food properly and eat slowly, as it will help you realise when you’re full and limit portions.

Make healthy food tasty: Who said healthy food can’t be tasty? Sprinkle some chaatpowder or oregano on fruits, or dress your salad with some olive oil. You can make many such simple additions to make healthy food tasty. When you fill yourself up with such foods, you’ll easily limit portions of high-fat foods.

Eat a small bowl of salad before dinner: Before digging into that yummy food on the table, serve yourself a helping of salad, the size of a small chapathi. Salads can help satiate hunger, therefore, aiding portion control when it comes to all the other ghee-loaded kahana on your table.

Drink water: Many times, thirst is mistaken for hunger, leading to overeating. Weight-loss experts suggest drinking a glass of water before meals, as it makes you feel fuller and will help you eat less the table.

Choose small bowls: There is a natural tendency to serve and eat more when you’re eating from a large bowl. Serve a portion onto a small bowl or plate and eat from it instead. Stop when it’s over. This can go a long way in aiding weight loss, especially by limiting portions of ice-cream and other such high-sugar, high-fat desserts.

Include foods that are rich in fibre and proteins: Food that has high roughage content, keeps you full for a longer duration. Make sure you consume adequate fibre at breakfast lunch and dinner.

Supplement your meals with healthy snacks: Take a snack break twice every day, and choose healthy snacks at that. Choose from fruits, boiled channa, dry roasted peanuts, yoghurt and such. These will help exercise portion control at lunch and dinner time. Our next tip will tell you how to ensure you snack healthy!

Keep healthy snacks handy: A study in the Environment and Behaviour Journal has found that keeping fruits and vegetables at arm’s length is likely to increase one’s chances of eating them. So, keep fruits, salads and other healthy snacks at easy reach.

Wanna lose weight? Eat negative calorie foods

Wanna lose weight? Eat negative calorie foods :

Some foods require more energy to be digested when compared to what they provide; such foods are called negative calorie foods. So fill your tummy with some negative calorie foods to prevent overeating.

These are best when snack time hits.

What are negative calorie foods?

Negative calorie foods are foods that burn more calories in the process of chewing and digestion when compared to the number of calories it provides the body. Eating such foods creates a calorie-deficit in the system, which can aid weight loss. The term ‘negative calories’, however, can be misleading as it might suggest that such foods have no calories at all, which is not true.

How do negative calorie foods work?

First of all, it is important to understand that all foods we eat burn calories. About 10-15% of calories from the foods we eat are used in the process of digestion. The body requires energy to breakdown and absorb proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and other nutrients present in our food, and it derives this energy from the food we eat.

There are certain foods that require lots of calories (energy) to break down and get absorbed. Some of these foods contain very few calories and, therefore, force the body to call upon its energy sources in the form of stored fat and glucose to finish processing the food. Such foods are called zero or negative calorie foods.

For instance, a piece of raw cucumber (containing approximately 1 calorie) will need way more calories to be chewed and digested, resulting in a net loss of calories from our body fat.

But then, eating a bowl of cucumber alone will not help in weight loss. You have to eat them instead of potato chips and brownies. In other words, you can’t eat a chocolate muffin and then try to burn off the calories by chasing it with a bowl of cucumber. The only way to make this work is to eat that bowl of cucumber first, leaving very little or no space for that sinful muffin.

List of negative calorie foods :

Foods low in calorie, high in fiber and full of water content make to this list as they not only provide nutrients but add bulk and volume. Most of them are fruits and veggies.

For negative calorie vegetables, choose from:

Lettuce

Cabbage

Broccoli

Cauliflower

Onion

Cucumber

Green beans

Radish

Spinach

Carrot

Zucchini

Asparagus

Celery

For negative calorie fruits, choose from:

Apple

Blueberry

Grape fruit

Tomato

Papaya

Cranberry

Honey-dew melon

Lemon

Orange

Pineapple

Strawberry

Watermelon

A word of caution…

A diet restricted to only these foods could lead to malnutrition, as you’ll miss out on many essential nutrients.

When eating negative calorie foods, remember:

Don’t go by the literal meaning of this concept.

These are best when snack time hits.

Eating only or too much of these foods can lead to various deficiencies.
