Health Corner
Honey, Zinc, Reflux, and more…
In this month’s Health Corner, we offer the following three insights for
improving your health:
1. Use Honey Instead of Sugar: You can substitute honey for up to half
of the sugar called for in baking (coat your measuring cup with oil for easy
cleanup). Reduce liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup for each cup of honey and
add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Reduce oven temperature by 25 degrees
to prevent over-browning.
2. Zinc and Type 2 Diabetes: A Finnish study reported by Johns
Hopkins Health Alerts followed type 2 diabetes patients between the ages
of 45 and 64. Those who had lowest levels of zinc in their blood at the start
of the study were more likely to have a heart attack or die during the 7-year
period. Foods containing high levels of zinc include meat, seafood, chicken,
oatmeal, whole wheat bread, beans, and peas.
3. Avoid Carbonated Drinks to Prevent Reflux: The Sleep Heart
Health Study by the University of Arizona shows that avoiding nighttime
heartburn could be as simple as avoiding carbonated beverages. It is
estimated that 44 percent of Americans experience nighttime heartburn at
least once a month. It's more serious than daytime heartburn; it causes
more damage to the esophagus and is more likely to lead to esophageal
cancer.
The study showed that sufferers were more likely to consume one or
more carbonated drinks daily. Heartburn was also associated with being
overweight, snoring, hypertension, and asthma. Other causes may include
coffee, chocolate, whole milk, peppermint, spearmint, citrus fruits, and
tomatoes. It is recommended that people who have the problem eat a
smaller evening meal and avoid a prone position for several hours after
eating.
