Health News: A new year is upon us, which means it’s only a matter of hours until the hedonism surrounding New Year’s Eve fades and everyone starts looking for ways to better themselves in 2020.
Come January, it no longer feels acceptable to eat five mince pies in an afternoon, or spend hours devouring leftover turkey sandwiches and washing them down with port.
But before you start signing up to restrictive dieting plans or militant exercise regimes, consider simpler adjustments that won’t feel quite so gruelling – and could even be more rewarding.
If you want to give yourself a bit of a health boost in 2020, rather than thinking about which foods you should cut out, the British Nutrition Foundation (BNF) suggests looking at which nutrient-rich foods you can add into your diet.
A spokesperson for the BNF has suggested 10 foods to eat that will help those feeling vitamin-deprived in the wake of a party-filled festive season.
Health News: The majority of adults aren’t sure how many portions of fruit and vegetables they should be eating, a new study has warned.
In 2003, the five-a-day campaign, based on a recommendation by the World Health Organisation (WHO), was launched in the UK to encourage individuals to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day.
However, despite this clear guidance, many people still aren’t reaching this target, as outlined in the new Health and Food Supplements Information Service (HSIS) report State of the Nation: Dietary Trends in the UK – 20 Years On.
According to the HSIS research, 86 per cent of people don’t know how much fruit and vegetables they should be eating on their plates.
Furthermore, only one in three adults are getting the recommended level of vitamins and minerals from their diets.
The researchers based their investigation on the government’s National Diet and Nutrition Survey and the Defra Family Food findings.
They discovered that 16 years after the launch of the five-a-day campaign, 31 per cent of adults aged between 19 and 64 are consuming their five a day.
Just over a quarter of adults aged 65 and over are reaching the goal, while only eight per cent of 11 to 18-year-olds are doing the same.

According to the ministry of health and family welfare, the incidence of breast cancer is 25.8 per 100,000 women and is expected to rise to 35 per 100,000 women in 2026. Despite the innovations in treatment and various awareness campaigns, the risks associated with breast cancer continues to rise.
Most doctors believe mammography to be the best way for detecting breast cancer at its nascent stage. However, in India, it has still not been widely adopted, unlike other parts of the world. Although it has numerous advantages over other screening methods.
Did you know that a mammogram can detect breast cancer up to two years before the tumor can be felt by you or your doctor? Hence with regular mammography examinations, the chances of a successful treatment and survival rate significantly increases amongst patients.
Experts know that processed red meats are likely to raise the risk of cardiovascular disease and death. But are unprocessed meats, fish, and poultry less harmful? New research investigates
Health News: Several studies have established a link between consuming processed meat — such as bacon, hot dogs, sausages, and other similar meats — and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and death.
The higher amount of saturated fats in these foods, along with a higher level of salt and preservatives, might explain these associations. Newer research has suggested that even a low amount of these foods is enough to jeopardize health.
But what about other meats, such as unprocessed red meat, poultry, or fish? Do these foods affect cardiovascular risk and longevity in the same way?
Here, the research is more mixed. The results of several studies vary partly because the methods were different and partly because the existing prospective cohort studies had their limitations.
So, to fill this gap in the research, a group of scientists led by Victor W. Zhong, Ph.D., of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, set out to conduct a new meta-analysis of 6 existing studies. Studying intake of meat, poultry, and fish
