Sweating Is Good For You

We get it—sweating may not be your favorite thing to do, but it is necessary. That’s because sweating, also called perspiration, is a natural bodily function that helps regulate your body temperature, says dermatologist Corey L. Hartman, MD, founder and medical director of Skin Wellness Dermatology in Birmingham, Ala., and assistant clinical professor of dermatology at the University of Alabama School of Medicine. Without it, your risk for overheating increases.

Eating Cucumbers Can…

– help contribute to your overall daily fluid intake and keep you feeling hydrated and your body functioning optimally,” says Registered Dietitian and Certified Nutrition Support Clinician 

Kristin Gillespie.
Slide 3 of 7: Thinking about investing in a 64-ounce water bottle? Forget about it. All you need to be more hydrated is to snack on some cucumber slices and you're set. Well, maybe you should still get the water bottle, and continue to drink water, but that doesn't take away from cucumbers being a source of hydration.According to a French and British population survey published by Nutrients, cucumbers are more than 95% water—which means that in addition to a crunchy snack, you're also getting hydrated in the process of eating cucumbers."They can help contribute to your overall daily fluid intake and keep you feeling hydrated and your body functioning optimally," says Registered Dietitian and Certified Nutrition Support Clinician Kristin Gillespie.

More Vitamin A Than Carrots…

Slide 1 of 6: It's funny how certain foods get pegged almost inseparably to certain nutrients. When you think of foods with vitamin C, oranges likely come to mind. For a boost of potassium, most of us reach for a banana. And if asked to name a food high in vitamin A, we'd bet you'd say carrots.Vitamin A is essential for good health. As you may know, getting enough of this nutrient promotes healthy vision (hence all the buzz about eating carrots for eagle eyes). It also plays a major role in supporting your immune and reproductive systems.Carrots are, of course, an excellent source of vitamin A. Half a cup of the raw veggies contains a sizable 510 micrograms. That's 57% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for men and 73% for women.But as vitamin A-rich as carrots are, they don't own the market for this important nutrient. Several other healthy, whole foods actually contain more vitamin A than these crunchy orange veggies. Here's a look at the surprising variety of foods to choose from. Then, don't miss our list of The 7 Healthiest Foods to Eat Right Now.Read the original article on Eat This, Not That!

Nutrient Deficiencies

Women who are athletes may be more susceptible to certain nutrient deficiencies (such as iron, calcium, and vitamin D) than men, according to new research.

This may be because female athletes are more likely to be restrictive with their eating, which can lead to greater risk for deficiencies.

If you’re not sure you’re on the right track, it can help to talk with a dietitian who specializes in sports performance. Or, when it comes to your diet, focus on getting more nutrients rather than fewer calories.

Slide 2 of 5: Researchers from the Boston University School of Medicine looked at the long-term health impact of drinking artificially sweetened beverages, publishing their results in 2017 in the journal Stroke. The researchers analyzed nearly 3,000 participants over the age of 45 for strokes over the course of 10 years, gauging their beverage intake through a food-frequency questionnaire. According to their findings, the participants who drank at least one diet soda a day were nearly twice as likely to have a stroke than those who didn't drink diet soda, but they were three times as likely to develop an ischemic stroke, in particular."Our study provides further evidence to link consumption of artificially sweetened beverages with the risk of stroke, particularly ischemic stroke," the researchers said.
