Ultra-Processed Foods Make Up Half of Most Kids’ Daily Calorie Intake.

Ultra-processed foods are industrially formulated products that typically contain added sugars, fats, and salt to enhance flavor and extend shelf life. According to a recent review, ultra-processed foods now account for 50–60% of total daily energy intake among children and adolescents in many high-income countries, including the United States. A high intake of ultra-processed foods has been linked to an elevated risk of obesity, metabolic syndrome, early cardiovascular risk, dental caries, and allergic diseases.

The findings suggest clinicians should include the spine when evaluating patients with shoulder, elbow, and wrist pain.

Heart-Healthy Habits May Support Independent Living.

The American Heart Association's Life's Essential 8 (LE8) is a set of health-related behaviors and clinical measures—including not smoking, achieving adequate sleep duration, maintaining a healthy weight, eating a nutritious diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and having healthy levels of blood glucose, cholesterol, and blood pressure—that are associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. According to a recent study, older adults with high adherence to LE8 had lower odds of disability in basic activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, eating, and getting out of bed.
