Acid reflux, or commonly known as heartburn, is a burning pain in the part of your chest, usually in the area of your heart (That’s why it got its name!). The pain is stinging and burning, beginning at the breastbone then towards your throat.

Heartburn occurs when the acid in the stomach backs up to your esophagus. Regularly, sphincters, a band of muscles, keep stomach acid from back flowing to your esophagus. However, there are times when this muscle weakens or abnormally relaxes, allowing stomach acid to reflux and cause heartburn. That is why lying down or bending over may cause heartburn.

If you see yourself obsessing on categorizing food items as permitted or not permitted to eat, you are not alone.

The famous medical aphorism, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” has been around in our society for several decades. Its first appearance originated in Wales in 1866 as “Eat an apple on going to bed and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread.” The advice was then revised in 1913 in its current form. The current version is now shorter and much easier to say. No wonder that this might be the first health advice a child will hear from their parents and teachers. Apple is widely used as an epitome of healthy eating habits as well as education that we normally see in various public health messages. With the increasing doctor consultation fees and medicines, people are obsessed with keeping away from the doctors and being healthy. With a very simple advice of eating a fruit, this should be strongly advocated if held true.

Have you ever noticed yourself feeling sad or burned out while mindlessly eating a slice of cake or a cup of ice cream just to feel good about the day? Well, we all know that our moods largely affect our choice of food. But the connection of food to medical mood disorders such as depression, is still less clear. A new field of nutrition called ‘Nutritional Psychiatry’ studies mental health in relation to food choices. This discipline aims to study the connection of food intake to potentially improve one’s mental health.

How did Chef Joseph Viel lose weight without giving up his favorite foods?

With all the uncertainties brought by the coronavirus pandemic, it is hard to focus on tasks. Planning on what to eat becomes your wits’ end that was once a piece of cake. The feeling is very overwhelming that we all have to deal with stress. In the past, foods are relatively accessible. You can quickly go to markets with the help of public transportations, and it is more manageable with stable income. Now, there are many barriers to easy food buying, and I know you experience many than few. No doubt that eating healthy during this time is uniquely challenging.

Food safety is not a popular topic compared to calorie monitoring. People are more concerned about making a well-balanced meal or on what food that will make them better in sports performance. However, food safety is as important as the topics mentioned above. Safe food preparation is the foundation of a healthy meal. The nutrients you opt to consume from food will be put to waste if you cannot eat the meal due to food safety concerns. Rotten or bad food shows that the nutrients are already lost. Thus, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends these easy ways to ensure that the food you prepare are safe for consumption.

It is very easy to understand that our planet’s environmental state affects the type and source of ourfood. The more we do not take care of our planet, the less food that we can produce and consume. But, have you considered that the food you eat affects the world’s resources management? Think about this, if we opt to produce more beef for consumption, more resources are needed to produce this food item. It takes more grains, water, and land to produce a pound of meat than it does to produce the same amount of calories from grains and plant-based food. Aside from this, animals belch out carbon dioxide while plant-based food items help in cleaning out our air. A new perspective, right?
