Home cooks eat better — and fewer calories when they eat out

f you’re a home cook, there’s some good news about your health. A new study suggests that people who cook at home most of the time consume generally healthier meals with fewer calories. An especially surprising observation about home cooks: they tended to consume fewer calories even when eating in restaurants. 

These data might have a strong implication for the typical American, who increasingly cooks at home less —for a variety of reasons.

Of particular note was the finding that people who reported cooking at home six to seven nights also had a strong association with a lower calorie intake when they ate out. This suggests that the home cooks have a mindfulness of healthy and nutrient dense meal preparation along with portion control, since these qualities seemed to be maintained when dining outside the home.

Online life for teens may lead to real-life problems

Teens' online behaviors may create real-life problems like relationship abuse and negative thoughts on body image, according to two new studies.

The studies, published in the journal Pediatrics, suggest that education and monitoring by parents may help reduce these behaviors and their negative consequences.

Both studies confirm "what we’re finding out in research, that the online behaviors seem to mimic offline behaviors,” Jeff Temple told Reuters Health...

Do you feel like you are under more stress than is healthy?

According to a large survey by the American Psychological Association (APA) last year, most American adults live with more stress than they think is healthy – a 5.1 on a scale of one to 10, when they consider a 3.6 healthy. 

How can we find the balance in life between fulfilling work, meaningful relationships, and other pleasures? Here is an interesting article in News & World Report. Dr. Davenport at Charles R. Davenport, Psy.D., LLC. works to help you find ways to feel less stressed. Counseling and therapy services are offered to couples and individuals in Venice and Sarasota, FL.
