Mindful Holiday Health Tips Part 1 – Healthy Habits to Maintain During the Holidays Written by: Nancy Palermo, MD Edited by: Thrive The holiday season can be challenging for anyone trying to make healthy choices. With added time constraints, many of us struggle with exercising, maintaining healthy sleep habits, or limiting the intake of processed and sugary foods that abound at this time of year. The added burdens of financial, political, and social stressors can crack our resolve and discipline even more. Many of us enter the holiday season with extra padding, and we must focus on what we can control to maintain our well-being. While we cannot control whether it will be a white Christmas, if our flight will be delayed, or what food our families might serve...

Cranberries: Beyond Thanksgiving

November 19, 2024

Dr NP, Healthy Eating, Healthy Life, Lifestyle, Lifestyle Medicine, Uncategorized

November may be the only month you buy a bag of cranberries, but these tangy fruits pack a powerful nutritional punch. These tiny berries are grown on vines in large, sandy bogs. The average American can consume over 2 pounds of cranberries; however, this is mostly through juice, as 95% of cranberries are processed into juice and other drinks. Less than 5 percent of purchased cranberries are in the fresh form. As you will see, the processed version does not offer the same benefits. Cranberries are tart and can be challenging to eat without being sweetened with sugar or honey. They are acidic and share a pH like lemons, explaining why sugar is often added to recipes with cranberries. In fact, the sugar-ladened canned cranberry gelatin, first...

[caption id="attachment_8575" align="alignleft" width="300"] Nancy Palermo Lietz, MD[/caption] We are not politically minded, and this is NOT a political article but rather a mindful reminder of how we can allow external forces to impact our health. The recent political election has caused a feeling of dissent no matter which side you choose. This has malignantly permeated our lives in negative ways. Fractured relationships hindered work ethics, and hopelessness, fear, and anger abound. We need to be mindful of how we allow this situation to impact our health.  Unfortunately, many of us go through our days focusing on dissatisfaction within our lives rather than accepting and appreciating what we have accomplished or what is present in our lives right now. This perspective is gratitude- an emotion that allows...

By Dr. Nancy A. Palermo, MD Edited by: Thrive Carolinas A recent landmark study published in BMJ Oncology by researchers from the University of Edinburgh examined the incidence of 29 cancers in individuals aged 14 to 49 across 200 countries over a 30-year period. The findings were alarming: the incidence of cancers in those under 50 rose by 79%, accounting for over 3.26 million cases. The researchers suggested that this increase is not due to genetic factors but rather to environmental influences like poor diet (high in processed foods and added sugars), alcohol consumption, smoking, physical inactivity, obesity, and exposure to environmental toxins. Our genes haven't changed in the last 30 years, but our environment has—highlighting the need for lifestyle changes to address this growing issue. The...

Written By: Nancy A. Palermo, MD Edited by: Thrive Carolinas Condiments are a staple in most kitchens, adding flavor and depth to our meals. But while they enhance taste, many condiments come loaded with hidden calories, salt, sugar, and additives that can sneak into our diets. In our upcoming Thrive Cooking Class, we’ll teach you how to use and make healthier condiments that pack flavor without sacrificing your health. The Hidden Dangers of Common Condiments Before you grab your favorite condiment, here are a few things to keep in mind: Avoid Inflammatory Oils Many condiments contain unhealthy fats, such as vegetable, canola, and sunflower oils, which can contribute to inflammation.
