The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010 edition was recently issued, bearing valuable advice for all.  As we well know, those who stick to a balanced diet and regimented exercise habit maintain their weight, reduce their risk of chronic illness, and enjoy overall health.  This guide is useful in mapping out those strategies and finding ways to stick to them.

The two persistent bits of advice throughout the Dietary Guidelines are:

- Stick to a balanced calorie intake to achieve and maintain a healthy weight

- Consume Nutrient Dense Foods and Beverages, and do not waste calories on fats, added sugars and refined grains.

The guide goes on further to recommend which foods to reduce, as well as which to seek out: The less sodium, saturated fatty acids, dietary cholesterol, solid fats and sugars, refine grains, and alcohol consumed, the better; the more dark green vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fat free or low-fat dairy products, proteins, and instances of seafood in place of meat, oil in place of solid fats, potassium, calcium and vitamin D, the better.  Of course, all of the above are only beneficial when in moderation.

A recent article in the New York Times is titled with an interesting question: How little sleep can you get away with? The article traces various experiments that have tried to answer this question, and while there is no conclusive answer, some facts are clear.   At a certain point, sleep deprivation begins to harm our performance during our waking hours, which effectively means that we are trading hours when we could be sleeping, for hours when we are poorly and sleepily doing our jobs.  Additionally, relying on weekends to catch up on sleep does not allow our bodies to recover in the way that we may think it does.

Dr. Levine, a researcher at the Mayo Clinic, has been conducting an experiment using regimented diets and magic underwear that senses the subject’s every move; the results show the benefits of activity and the detriments of sitting.  Although most of us sit for the majority of our waking hours, there can be negative long term effects- a fact that is leading Dr. Levine to explore solutions to the dangers of sitting.
