    Confused About Ultra-Processed Foods? Here’s What a New Study of Nearly 9 Million People Found (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    As a dietitian, I get a lot of questions about ultra-processed foods (also known as UPFs). And I understand the confusion because frankly, I’m confused by it all, too. Some foods, like candy and soda, seem pretty obviously ultra-processed. But what about foods that aren’t so clear cut, like yogurt and cereal? And what does ultra-processed even mean? We’ve been waiting on the government to define the term, but in the meantime, research on ultra-processed food is piling up. Now, a new analysis inv

    The Surprising Pizza Topping That's Packed With Antioxidants (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Pizza is a classic for many reasons: For starters, it’s delicious, satisfying, and endlessly customizable. And while your favorite slice can absolutely satisfy a craving, it can also be part of a nutritious diet. With a few simple swaps and additions, you can pack in more fiber, protein, and nutrients without taking away from what makes pizza so enjoyable. As a dietitian, I don’t think pizza needs to be made “healthy.” Instead, I like keeping all the things that make pizza so good and finding si

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I’ve tried just about every type of chore chart you can think of. Sticker charts, dry-erase marker charts, wooden chore charts, routine calendars, routine game boards—you name it, I’ve probably bought it. My five-year-old daughter is very much a free spirit, and while she thrives once we have a routine in place, getting her to actually stick with that routine has always been the hard part. The enthusiasm is there at first, but it usually wanes quickly once the novelty of whatever chore chart we’
