☆ The Trouble With America’s Ultra-Processed Diet
  + stars: | 2023-11-14 | by ( Andrea Petersen | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Should your granola bar come with a warning label? Concern is rising about the amount of ultra-processed foods in American diets, and the effect eating so many of those foods has on our health. Part of the problem, nutrition researchers say, is that lots of healthy-seeming items—many breakfast cereals, soups and yogurts as well as granola—fall into that category. Recent studies have linked diets high in ultra-processed foods to increased risks of obesity, Type 2 diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease and depression.

Annick Lenoir-Peek, a lawyer from Durham, N.C., has struggled with her weight since adolescence. She has tried Atkins and keto and spent thousands of dollars over decades on weight-loss efforts and programs such as Noom, Nutrisystem and WeightWatchers. Since starting Ozempic in late November, she’s lost around 30 pounds. Her cholesterol and glucose levels have improved, and she can eat far fewer calories without feeling hungry, she said. Currently on a trip through Eastern Europe, she said she is doing more tours than she would have at a higher weight.
☆ How to Build a Healthier Sandwich
  + stars: | 2023-04-03 | by ( Andrea Petersen | Photographs F. Martin Ramin The Wall Street Journal | Food Styling Mieko Takahashi | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Our sandwiches weren’t always this bad for us. Sandwiches have grown less healthy in the past 40 years, says Dariush Mozaffarian, a cardiologist and professor of nutrition and medicine at Tufts University. Culprits include highly processed grains in bread and the low-fat push that took off in the 1980s, which nutritionists now say led to the consumption of more deli meats marketed as low-fat.

Clinton, N.Y.—Hamilton College has found one answer to the growing number of students seeking mental-health care on campus: Send them to other students. The school trains about a dozen undergrads a year to serve as peer counselors, a role that entails being a good listener to other students. The counselors go through about three days of training per year and attend weekly meetings to review peer conversations with the school counseling center’s professional therapists.

  + stars: | 2023-02-02 | by ( Andrea Petersen | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
It’s easier than you think to get the weekly amount of aerobic exercise recommended by federal government guidelines. Only about half of U.S. adults meet the guidelines of getting at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity or at least 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity a week (or an equivalent combination of the two), according to survey data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Moderate-intensity exercise includes activities like brisk walking and biking on flat roads, while vigorous exercise includes running and swimming laps.
☆ How Long Do Flu Symptoms Last? What to Know

Many people are experiencing the particular misery of the flu for the first time in several years. After two years of milder flu seasons, here is a reminder of what the flu is—and what to do if you get it. This flu season hit earlier and harder than those of the past couple of years, doctors say. The reason is likely because of the cyclical nature of the flu and the lifting of Covid precautions such as working from home, wearing masks and having smaller social gatherings, says Robert Frenck , a pediatrician in the division of infectious diseases at Cincinnati Children’s hospital in Ohio.

More schools and community groups are taking a less punitive, more collaborative approach to discipline as behavior problems rise among children and teens. Some schools are reducing out-of-school suspensions in favor of in-school suspension days, adding sit-down talks with the principal and introducing written assignments reflecting how to change behavior. Other schools are bringing in counselors prior to meetings with the principal to help children calm down.

☆ New Help for a Group at Risk for Suicide: Middle-Aged Men
  + stars: | 2022-11-27 | by ( Andrea Petersen | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Doctors and psychologists are testing new ways to treat a long-running mental-health crisis: high rates of suicide among middle-aged and older men. Men overall have a suicide rate between three and four times as high as women, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. One reason is that men tend to choose more lethal means—most often firearms—when they attempt. Men are also less likely than women to seek mental-health help. And men’s anxiety and depression often come across as anger or irritability rather than worry and sadness, so conditions that can raise the risk of suicide can go undiagnosed and untreated.
☆ More Children Are Being Screened for Mental-Health Issues. But Then What?
  + stars: | 2022-10-30 | by ( Andrea Petersen | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
A mental-health crisis among children and teens that had been brewing for years worsened as routines were disrupted in the pandemic. Mental-health screenings for kids are expanding across the country. But as more children are identified as needing assistance, families can face a tough time getting help from resources that are already stretched thin. A mental-health crisis among children and teens that had been brewing for years worsened as routines were disrupted in the pandemic and many kids faced isolation and loss. Schools have added or expanded screenings for mental health or emotional well-being, and earlier this month, a panel of medical experts recommended children and teens ages 8 to 18 be screened for anxiety disorders.
