Big long-term study confirms that diet with lots of fruit & vegetables associated with healthy aging, Opposite is true for trans-fats, sodium, sugary beverages and red or processed meats.

(I've seen a paywalled article on the TL today that I couldn't access. Here's an alternative, non-paywalled report.) 1/2

News-Medical · The best diet for aging well, backed by a 30-year study of 100,000 peopleA 30-year study of over 100,000 U.S. adults found that consistent adherence to healthy dietary patterns, especially the AHEI, was strongly linked to successful aging. Diets rich in plant-based foods and healthy fats, with some low-fat animal products, improved physical, mental, and cognitive health.

When I was younger, after eating a meal, I'd always feel the urge to go on a walk, I'd feel so energetic. All the adults called me weird while groaning about how full they were and how they couldn't wait to sit down or take a nap. Turns out I wasn't weird, and the sudden energy was just my body providing for me, rewarding me for eating.

🥑 NutriTransform: Estimating Nutritional Information From Online Food Posts

(... reminds me of a startup I worked on in the pre-funding stage that would estimate the nutritional content of a meal from a cellphone snap)

arXiv.orgNutriTransform: Estimating Nutritional Information From Online Food PostsDeriving nutritional information from online food posts is challenging, particularly when users do not explicitly log the macro-nutrients of a shared meal. In this work, we present an efficient and straightforward approach to approximating macro-nutrients based solely on the titles of food posts. Our method combines a public food database from the U.S. Department of Agriculture with advanced text embedding techniques. We evaluate the approach on a labeled food dataset, demonstrating its effectiveness, and apply it to over 500,000 real-world posts from Reddit's popular /r/food subreddit to uncover trends in food-sharing behavior based on the estimated macro-nutrient content. Altogether, this work lays a foundation for researchers and practitioners aiming to estimate caloric and nutritional content using only text data.

"There is, it seems, a great reluctance to mark this COVID anniversary...Many would prefer to forget. But there’s so much we would do well to remember. The groundswell of mutual aid. The coming together in righteous protest. The skills we developed and the muscles we flexed, during those long, fraught months. The ways of being and doing that we relied on to make it through."
