WHAT'S NEW IN NUTRITION RESEARCH

Walking reduces waistline (without reducing body weight overall)

Do you want to reduce your waistline or reduce your tummy fat, but you are not sure which is the best exercise? A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association vol 289, p 323, 2003 (Irwi M et al) showed that brisk walking or riding a stationary bike for about 3 hours per week for a year (without going on a diet) resulted in a loss of almost 7% of intra-abdominal fat even though total body weight did not change much. 173 sedentary overweight menopausal women took part in this US study aged between 50 and 75. Abdominal body fat is associated with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels and heart disease. Try walking for at least 30 minutes daily!

A healthy breakfast may reduce risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease

In March 2003, Pereira et al reported at the American Heart Asssociation's 43rd Annual conference that breakfast habits appeared to influence the incidence of obesity and diabetes in young black and white adults. The Harvard Medical School researchers found that compared to those people who ate breakfast less than three-times per week, people who ate breakfast everyday had a 35% to 50% lower risk of obesity and diabetes.
Breakfast may help control appetite and reduce the risk of overeating later in the day. However, if the breakfast was not healthy (i.e was low in fibre and made up of refined cereals) there was no reduction in obesity/diabetes risk.

The Australian Consumers Association analysed 188 breakfast cereals, of which 65 were found to be nutritionally acceptable according to salt, fat, carbohydrate, sugar and fibre contents. Here are some of the cereals recommended (published in May 2003 issue of CHOICE magazine) more....:
