CNN —Do you ever find yourself comparing the size of your child with those of their classmates and worrying about their health? In her new book, “Kids Thrive at Every Size,” Castle aims to offer a new model for assessing and addressing kids’ health. Weight-focused versus whole child healthThe way children’s health has been assessed has often centered greatly on their size and shape, Castle said. “Or we look at a child with a larger body and say, ‘Hey, that doesn’t fit our norm.’”There are a few problems with this approach. … You choose what you want, but fruit is really important to your overall eating pattern, and it’s important for you to get some at school,’” Castle added.

"I always like to say that if you can make a salad, you can make fermented foods because they're on par in complexity," he said. Fortune Business Insights estimates the global probiotics market will be more than $94 billion by 2027, and a small jar of fermented foods from Whole Foods costs around $9. With the health benefits and value-for-money (not to mention the tastiness) that fermented foods provide, there's no reason not to give fermenting a go. SauerkrautTo make sauerkraut, you need cabbage, salt, and any seasonings of your choice, such as herbs and spices, Zilber said. When you add salt to cabbage, which contains lactic acid-producing bacteria, and lightly massage it, the juices start to release, creating a salty brine.

How to increase your attention span amid digital overload

While a dwindling attention span is not due to a personal failing (despite individual variability) a majority of the time, experts say there are changes you can make to regain control over your mind. “Tech companies and ad marketing companies use this information to construct profiles about us, and then they design algorithms that are targeted to capture our attention,” Mark said. “We have a tank of attentional resources (that) gets drained when we keep switching our attention,” Mark said. Additionally, he suggested using an app that places time limits on social media or websites you find yourself addicted to using. “The way I feel at the moment is like somebody is pouring itching powder over us all day,” Hari said.

Tourists are flocking to Costa Rica, with visitors trying to get a taste of the Blue Zone lifestyle that promises better-than-average health and longevity. Researchers from Stanford have studied the Nicoya Blue Zone. "It's not uncommon to see people in Nicoya live to be in their 90s, but we're seeing that number slip back down into the 80s." AdvertisementStill, if you're in the region, you will probably see a lot about the Blue Zone as a selling point driving more tourism. "A lot of people are using it for their business — Blue Zone this, Blue Zone that — I'm sure they know what it means, but the lifestyle is something that's fading, unfortunately, because it was all the old-timers keeping it alive," Jones told BI.

The long-distance runner is looking to write one more chapter in the history books with a record-breaking third Olympic marathon win, at the Paris Games. The sun is yet to rise, but a group of runners emerge from a mud path onto the side of a road. This is what Olympic preparation looks like for arguably the greatest distance runner of all time, Eliud Kipchoge. In 2019, in Vienna, he shattered one of the most formidable barriers in sports by becoming the first person to run a marathon in under two hours. With the Games upon us, Kipchoge remains laser-focused on clinching his third consecutive gold medal in the marathon.

What to know about menopause, according to a doctor

Around 90% of women experience menopausal symptoms, which can include hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood alterations and weight gain. Some 94% of US women reported never being taught about menopause at school, according to a 2023 study. Most women go into menopause between ages 40 and 58, with the average age of experiencing menopause being 51, according to the North American Menopause Society. Last year, the US Food and Drug Administration approved a medication, fezolinetant, specifically for use in reducing hot flashes. However, studies have shown that many providers are not trained to provide the full range of options for menopause treatment.

For now, here's what we know — and what we don't know — about stem-cell therapy for knees. Bryan Johnson flew to the Bahamas to get MSC stem cells injected into his knees, hips, and shoulders — for about $16,500 per joint. Plus, even Sampson warns that young donor stem cells should not be seen as a quick fix or a panacea. Done with proper medical oversight, some studies have found no adverse effects from stem-cell treatments for various conditions. Botched stem-cell treatments can cause infection, blindness, and excessive cell growth, which can trigger the formation of tumors.

However, just because baking soda is produced from natural ingredients doesn’t mean it’s safe to ingest without regulation, she added. The primary way baking soda could be helpful for issues such as acid reflux is by neutralizing acid. There has also been some evidence to suggest baking soda may also slow the progression of kidney disease. Fitness studies have typically dosed within the range of 0.2 to 0.5 grams of baking soda per kilogram of body weight — meaning a person weighing about 59 kilograms, or 130 pounds, might use around a tablespoon of baking soda at a minimum. Baking soda supplementation isn’t the only way to alleviate acid-induced health problems.

The Food and Drug Administration’s “hands-off approach” to food additives, including those found in ultraprocessed foods and energy drinks, may allow unsafe ingredients to enter the nation’s food supply, according to the authors of an editorial published Thursday. While food manufacturers can request an FDA review of new ingredients before they are added to products — and they sometimes do — they are not required to do so. From 1990 to 2010, an estimated 1,000 substances were labeled GRAS by manufacturers and were used without notifying the agency, Pomeranz said, citing earlier research. Since then, she added, there have likely been many more ingredients added to the nation’s food supply without the FDA’s oversight. “We have no idea how many substances are in the food supply based on this self-GRAS mechanism,” Pomeranz said.

One-fifth of respondents said they follow a “high-protein diet” — more than vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diets combined. Before recommending a high-protein diet, she looks at pre-existing health conditions, family history and lifestyle. “I really wanted to show how to include protein, from the stance of here are whole-food lean sources of protein you can incorporate that can follow a higher protein diet, but that are still balanced,” she said. When starting a new diet, Stanford, of Mass General, advised seeing a physician or registered dietitian first to evaluate any individual risks and medical history. If a high-protein diet is deemed safe, Stanford encourages patients to be thoughtful and view it as a long-term commitment.

“The study tested whether or not reducing the amount of acid in our diet reduces the kidney disease- and heart disease-related complications of high blood pressure,” he said. “We’ve known this for a long time but it’s good to have less kidney disease added to the benefits,” she said. Eating more fruits and veggies promotes heart and kidney health, especially in people with hypertension, a new study found. Medication intervention is still an important part of managing blood pressure, kidney disease and heart disease, Wesson said. “A largely, but not necessarily exclusively, plant-based diet is demonstrably associated with overall good health, reduced chronic disease prevalence — kidney disease too — and premature mortality,” Nestle said.

Food sensitivities can trigger IBS symptoms, so adjusting your diet and exercising more also may make a difference.

Cancer is typically associated with older people, but the percentage of colorectal cancer cases in those under 55 doubled between 1995 and 2019, from 11% to 20%, according to the American Cancer Society.

Now, a team of engineers and geologists brings a new theory to the table — a hydraulic lift device that would have floated the heavy stones up through the middle of Egypt’s oldest pyramid using stored water. Water from ancient streams flowed into a system of trenches and tunnels that surrounded the Step Pyramid, according to the study team. The shaft within the Step Pyramid is connected to a 200-meter-long (656-foot-long) underground tunnel that connects to another vertical shaft outside the pyramid. Conversely, a moderate-sized hydraulic lift can raise 50 to 100 tons. “It doesn’t mean (the hydraulic lift device) wasn’t used,” she added.
