A new study by UK researchers underscores the importance of natural infant nutrition in developing healthy lifelong eating patterns. In the new study, researchers examined the diets of almost 8,000 infants at six months of age and then again at age seven – the latter milestone shown in other research to be a strong predictor of both childhood and adult eating habits. The team found that high fruit and vegetable consumption at six months was a strong predictor of this eating patterns later in childhood, with prepared infant foods having little or no predictive value. In the study, the effect was strongest for children weaned between four and six months and immediately introduced to a plant-rich diet. Learn more about the new study at Healthy Eating Starts Young.

A new study of factors contributing to lifelong brain health concludes that half of Alzheimer’s cases can be prevented through healthier lifestyle choices. The new study, conducted by researchers at the University of California, counters widespread perceptions that chronic brain impairment with aging is not actionable. The new study involved a meta-analysis of lifestyle and Alzheimer’s diagnosis data covering a global sample set. It concludes that seven specific lifestyle factors combine to account for roughly 50% of the risk of this disease: low educational levels (19%), smoking (14%), physical inactivity (13%), depression (11%), midlife hypertension (5%), midlife obesity (2%), and diabetes (2%).
