Weight loss alert: Seven food combinations to burn fat, beat bloating and boost metabolism

September 3, 2021 by admin

Weight loss is not an easy process, but one that can be achieved by being consistent. Dietitian Vidhi Chawla says that in order to lose weight successfully, one has to exercise and eat proper food every day.

“There are certain food combinations that can help you burn fat, beat bloating and boost metabolism. Do not skip your breakfast; it may cause you to not consume adequate amounts of fibre and nutrients. It can also increase bouts of acidity,” she advises.

The dietitian lists some food combinations that may work magic to lose weight. Read on.

1. Egg and bell pepper: Eggs are a powerful superfood on their own, but when combined with bell pepper — another fat-burning ingredient — it can help you lose weight quickly. Eggs are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and healthy fats, as well as choline, a nutrient that boosts metabolism. Bell peppers, on the other hand, are rich in vitamin C. Eating peppers can help you burn stored fat and convert carbs into fuel, keeping you energised all day. By adding bell peppers into your eggs, you can significantly accelerate weight loss.

2. Carrots and tahini: Carrots contain about 10 per cent of carbs, are made up of starch, simple sugars and fibre. They also have a low glycemic index and are rich in vitamin A in the beta carotene form, vitamin K, B-vitamins, and potassium. Tahini, also known as sesame butter, is high in calcium and can help you lose weight by reducing your appetite

From ramen and tofu to Hi-Chew, Japanese food brands boost US investment

September 2, 2021 by admin

TOKYO — Some of Japan’s leading food brands are putting their money where Americans’ mouths are with big investments in U.S. production.

The company behind Maruchan instant ramen, Toyo Suisan, will invest 3 billion yen ($27.3 million) by fiscal 2022 to add new lines at a Texas plant. This comes on the heels of a roughly 5 billion yen expansion there just completed in May.

Driving such capital outlays is robust U.S. consumer spending, which grew an annualized 11.9% on the quarter in the April-June period.

Instant noodles fit the bill for people seeking an easy-to-cook pandemic meal, according to market leader Toyo Suisan. “We’ve struggled to keep up with demand for some time,” a company representative said.

Toyo Suisan holds a roughly 70% share of the U.S. instant-noodle market, with its Maruchan ramen sold at Walmart and other large retailers. Low prices make it popular with students and other younger consumers.

The Texas plant also makes noodles for export to Mexico. Toyo Suisan aims to expand overseas instant-noodle sales by 9% to 102.6 billion for the year ending March 2022.

U.S. tofu production at Japan’s House Foods Group will get a boost from new lines at its Los Angeles factory. The company spent 4 billion yen to bring new capacity online there in 2020, and the new addition is expected to also cost billions.

Tofu’s appeal has spread beyond Asian cuisine to salads and other vegetarian dishes. House Foods aims to generate 18.8 billion yen in U.S. sales for

USDA to Permanently Boost Food Stamp Benefits by 25 Percent | Healthiest Communities Health News

August 19, 2021 by admin

By ASHRAF KHALIL and JOSH BOAK Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s administration has approved a significant and permanent increase in the levels of food aid available to needy families — the largest single increase in the program’s history.

Starting in October, average benefits for food stamps — officially known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP — will rise more than 25 percent above pre-pandemic levels. The increased assistance will be available indefinitely to all 42 million SNAP beneficiaries.

The increase coincides with the end of a 15 percent boost in SNAP benefits that was ordered as a pandemic protection measure. That benefit expires at the end of September.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said that with the change, the U.S. “will do a better job of providing healthy food for low-income families.”

The aid boost is being packaged a major revision to the USDA’s Thrifty Food Plan, which estimates the cost to purchase groceries for a family of four and guides the way the government calculates benefits. In practical terms, the average monthly per-person benefits for qualified recipients will rise from $121 to $157.

The increase is projected to cost an additional $20 billion per year, but it won’t have to be approved by Congress. A farm law passed in 2018 by the then-GOP led Congress and signed by former President Donald Trump already directed the department to reassess the Thrifty Food Plan.

“Whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat, I think there’s a shared understanding

At one daycare in Iqaluit, a $10,000 stipend from the city will give nearly 50 children two meals a day for a year.

“[It’s] big for us,” said Visaka Wijesooriya, director of Kids on the Beach daycare. “This support is very important to buy healthy food for the children.”

Council approved the stipend July 27 as part of a motion that allocates $60,000 between four organizations to help improve access to food.

Wijesooriya says Kids on the Beach usually receives $5,000 per year from the city for food, which covers about six months of costs. Doubling that means she doesn’t have to worry about where the daycare will find money to cover the rest of the year.

The food Wijesooriya serves to the children is all homemade, she said, which costs a lot.

“We don’t have to worry about that [now],” she said. “We are able to purchase country food, fruits, vegetables, other meat and dairy.”

The money comes from the Government of Nunavut’s food security fund.

First Steps and Kids on the Beach daycares received $10,000 each and Uquutaq Society and the city’s recreation department each received $20,000.

The recreation department plans to feed elders lunch every day, which sometimes
