Food labelled as 'vegan' may not always be safe to eat - 0 views

  •  
    The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has launched a campaign to caution people with food allergies about the risk of products labelled as 'vegan'. People who have an allergy to milk, eggs, fish and crustaceans or molluscs are encouraged to always check for a precautionary allergen statement such as 'may contain' on products labelled 'vegan' before consuming the food. The launch of the campaign comes in the wake of recent research findings by the FSA that 62 per cent of individuals with reactions to animal-based products or who buy for someone with allergies were confident that products labelled 'vegan' are safe to eat. This is "incorrect" and may put them at risk, the agency said. The FSA study found that 54 per cent of people who experience reactions to animal-based products and 53 per cent of those purchasing for someone with a food hypersensitivity to animal-origin products have used vegan labelling to determine the safety of packaged food on at least some occasions.

New Law Bans Junk Food Ads Before 9 PM to Fight Childhood Obesity | UK Govt Action - 0 views

  •  
    No Junk food ads on television will be allowed before the 9 pm watershed from October 2025 under a new law. The UK government confirmed the final details of advertising restrictions, including a ban on paid online junk food adverts, on Tuesday (3 December). The proposed legislation is part of a broader strategy to curb childhood obesity and address rising rates of obesity-related diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. Detailed guidance on which food and drink categories will be covered by the regulations has also been published. These measures are expected to remove 7.2 billion calories per year from UK children's diets, potentially preventing around 20,000 cases of childhood obesity. Health secretary Wes Streeting emphasised the need for such preventative action, stating: "Obesity robs our kids of the best possible start in life, sets them up for a lifetime of health problems, and costs the NHS billions. "This government is taking action now to end the targeting of junk food ads at kids, across both TV and online.

Ultra-Processed Foods : Shocking Study Reveals 66% of UK Teens' Diets Comprise UPF - 0 views

  •  
    A new study has revealed that UK adolescents get around two-thirds of their daily calories from ultra-processed foods (UPFs), which have been linked to the rising levels of obesity, type 2 diabetes and cancer. The research, funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR)'s School for Public Health Research, was published in the European Journal of Nutrition. Ultra-processed foods are often characterized by poor dietary quality due to their high content of added sugars, saturated fats, and salt, along with lower levels of fibre, protein, and micronutrients. The study, conducted by researchers from the Universities of Cambridge and Bristol, analysed data from four-day food diaries of almost 3,000 adolescents, sourced from the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey. After examining trends in the UK between 2008/9 and 2018/19, the researchers found that UPFs accounted for 66 per cent of adolescents' energy intake on average during this period.

Obesity Crisis 2025 : UK Government's Weak Response Sparks Criticism - 0 views

  •  
    The Lords Food, Diet and Obesity Committee has expressed disappointment with the government's response to its recommendations for tackling the obesity crisis. In October 2024, the Committee released its report, Recipe for Health: A Plan to Fix Our Broken Food System, following a special inquiry. The report identified obesity and diet-related diseases as a public health emergency, costing society billions annually in healthcare expenses and lost productivity. It urged the government to develop a "comprehensive, integrated long-term new strategy to fix the food system", supported by a new legislative framework and outlined key actions that should be included. The government published its response to the report on 30 January 2025, but the Committee criticized it for lacking boldness and delaying many necessary measures. Baroness Walmsley, who chaired the Committee said: "In recent interviews with researchers, former prime ministers and health secretaries expressed regret that they had not done more to tackle obesity and advised the government to 'be bold and act fast'. "The report from the Lords Food, Diet and Obesity Committee recommended bold measures to be implemented immediately.

medical tourism in India - 0 views

  •  
    Medical treatment is prohibitively expensive in advanced countries like the US and in countries of Europe as well as Australia. For instance, a dental procedure like an implant may cost thousands of dollars in these countries and some treatments may not even be covered by insurance. This is when you opt for such treatments in countries where the cost is far more affordable. Medical tourism is a fast-rising industry catering to individuals who are looking for world class but affordable treatments in countries other than their own. Countries like India, Thailand, Turkey, and Sri Lanka are favored due to the low cost of treatment, low cost of a stay, better services and the possibility of taking in a bit of sight-seeing. World-class treatments and facilities Gone are the days when countries like India, Sri Lanka and Thailand lagged behind in terms of capabilities of doctors, equipment, amenities, and facilities. Today, these countries have doctors with advanced degrees and qualifications, sometimes from top medical institutions in the US and UK. They are no less capable than their counterparts in Europe or America. As for hospitals, these are built to modern, world-class standards, are well maintained and have everything by way of equipment and infrastructure. Whether it is cardiovascular treatment, spine treatment, orthopedics, oncology, kidney or liver treatments, hospitals have capable doctors, surgeons, and equipment. In addition, the support is excellent. Unlike hospitals abroad that are extremely professional and impersonal, people here are more caring, whether it is attendants or nurses or doctors. Costs are low. Even after taking into consideration the cost of travel and stay as well as food, medical tourism works out cheaper than getting treatment in your country. Getting the best in medical tourism Before you book a ticket and rush off to any of these countries for treatment stop and consider. If you do it on your own you will have to conduct a search

Ramadan running challenge to help feed the poor - 0 views

  •  
    A pharmacist based in the East Midlands of England plans to run 150 kilometres during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan to raise funds for an international food charity. Shahid Akhtar from Rainworth, Nottinghamshire started running five kilometres each day from March 23 "from about an hour before sunset and the time I can break my fast." So far, the 50-year-old locum pharmacist who used "to own and run a community pharmacy not so long ago", has managed to run 55 kilometres and has already raised a total of £2,173 for the cause. By the end of Ramadan, Shahid aims to exceed his personal target of raising £2,500 to help feed children around the world. He says the money raised through him will go towards providing school meals for children and young people in neglected communities around the world through Charity Right. Shahid will run everyday without consuming any food or water before, during, or immediately after the race. Having never run whilst fasting before, he thinks this will be an "interesting new experience" for him.

Health Benefits & Risks of Fasting - 0 views

  •  
    Fasting is considered a religious duty across different communities. However, this kind of fasting is completely different from medical fasting which is believed to have multiple positive effects on human body. Medical fasting could refer to periodical intake of food and drink. A study by Dr Valter Longo and his co-researchers at the University of Southern California have found that abstaining food and drink for 2-4 hours could regenerate new immune cells in place of old removed ones, thereby rebooting the immunity system. This process could build up protection against cell damages that may be caused by chemotherapy and aging.

6 Ways How Going Vegan Can Transform Your Physical Health - 0 views

  •  
    There are many reasons why people choose to go vegan. For some, it's a matter of ethics, while others believe that veganism is the healthiest way to live. Whatever the reason, there are many benefits to be had by making the switch to a vegan lifestyle. Here are six of the most important ones: 1. YOU'LL LOSE WEIGHT If you're carrying around a few extra pounds, going vegan is a great way to shed them. A vegan diet is naturally lower in calories than one that includes meat and dairy, so you'll likely find yourself eating less without even trying. And since plant-based foods are typically packed with fiber, you'll feel full and satisfied after meals, without the need to overeat. You can do some research if you visit www.veganfitguide.com or by reading various online resources. Keep in mind that you may not lose weight immediately, as your body will need time to adjust to the new way of eating. But once it does, the pounds should start coming off. Additionally, since a vegan diet is typically rich in nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, you're likely to get all the vitamins and minerals you need, without having to take supplements.
