High Oxalate Foods and Kidney Stones? Dr. Sarah Ballantyne 2024-03-20 | Oxalates are often blamed for kidney stones though, and there’s more to this one, so let’s look at the science. Studies show inconsistent effects of dietary oxalates on urinary oxalates. Most notably, high-oxalate foods don’t increase urinary oxalate in a proportional manner (in other words, the amount of oxalate in a food doesn’t always predict how much oxalate will show up in the urine after that food is eaten).👋🏻Hello soon-to-be Nutrivore Nerds, I am so happy to have you here! 🍏Learn how to ditch diet culture and get the most nutrients from your food with the no-guilt, personalized, and exciting new science that will change how you think about food and nourishment! 📱Head over to my creator YT landing page to find links to free downloads and helpful guides and webinars to get you started with Nutrivore! #DrSarahBallantyne #nutrivore

Tomatoes ARE a vegetable! Dr. Sarah Ballantyne 2024-03-17 | In nutritional sciences, we use the culinary definitions of fruits and vegetables rather than the botanical ones because they align with the nutrient content of these foods. For example, cucumber is nutritionally similar to celery, and winter squash is nutritionally similar to sweet potatoes. So, it makes more sense to classify them as vegetables from a nutrition standpoint.So, if we mainly use them in savory applications, even if they’re botanically fruit, we call them veggies!👋🏻Hello soon-to-be Nutrivore Nerds, I am so happy to have you here! 🍏Learn how to ditch diet culture and get the most nutrients from your food with the no-guilt, personalized, and exciting new science that will change how you think about food and nourishment! 📱Head over to my creator YT landing page to find links to free downloads and helpful guides and webinars to get you started with Nutrivore! #DrSarahBallantyne #nutrivore #tomatoes

Why you should mix up your meals! Dr. Sarah Ballantyne 2024-03-02 | An additional fascinating result from this study is that it appears as though total dietary diversity is more important than diversity of any one food group. The authors further analyzed 10 different food groups (vegetables, tubers, legumes, fruit+nuts+seeds, dairy, cereals, meat, fish+shellfish, eggs, and condiments) and showed that, while it’s slightly more important to mix up the veggies we eat, no one food group was responsible for the results.The analysis also accounted for: sex, age, study center, smoking status, educational level, marital status, physical activity, alcohol intake, total energy intake, Mediterranean diet score, red and processed meat intake, and fiber intake.👋🏻Hello soon-to-be Nutrivore Nerds, I am so happy to have you here! 🍏Learn how to ditch diet culture and get the most nutrients from your food with the no-guilt, personalized, and exciting new science that will change how you think about food and nourishment! 📱Head over to my creator YT landing page to find links to free downloads and helpful guides and webinars to get you started with Nutrivore! #DrSarahBallantyne #nutrivore

How to use Nutrivore Score Dr. Sarah Ballantyne 2024-01-13 | The Nutrivore Score is a measure of the total nutrients per calorie in a food.A nutrient-dense powerhouse superfood is any food with a Nutrivore Score higher than 800. High nutrient-density foods have a Nutrivore Score between 400 and 8000. Medium nutrient-density foods have a Nutrivore Score between 150 and 400. And, low nutrient-density empty-calorie foods have a nutrivore score less than 150.However, note that even low nutrient-density foods can still play an important role in a healthy diet. Any food with a Nutrivore Score over 150 contributes more nutrients than calories to the diet, but note that there is not cusp below which a food is “bad” and above which a food is “good”.Indeed, all foods lie on a spectrum of nutrient density, and the Nutrivore Score is but one tool to help identify the best options within highly-related foods, and reinforce the value of whole and minimally-processed foods. You don’t need to feel guilty about eating a food that isn’t particularly nutritious, and instead can celebrate the choices you make that are focused on nutrients.👋🏻Hello soon-to-be Nutrivore Nerds, I am so happy to have you here! 🍏Learn how to ditch diet culture and get the most nutrients from your food with the no-guilt, personalized, and exciting new science that will change how you think about food and nourishment! 📱Head over to my creator YT landing page to find links to free downloads and helpful guides and webinars to get you started with Nutrivore! #DrSarahBallantyne #nutrivore #nutrivorescore

What is Nutrivore? Dr. Sarah Ballantyne 2024-01-10 | A carnivore eats meat, an omnivore eats plants, a Nutrivore eats nutrients! Nutrivore is the revolutionary yet simple dietary concept: Get all the nutrients our bodies need from the foods we eat. That is the beginning middle end of what a Nutrivore is.

All ultra processed foods are bad? Dr. Sarah Ballantyne 2024-01-07 | Can you be healthy if you enjoy your favorite ultra processed foods in moderation? Yes!A fair interpretation of the current scientific evidence is that, if you’re meeting your body’s nutritional needs from the 80 percent of your diet that is whole and minimally-processed foods, the 20 percent of your calories that comes from ultra-processed foods–like cookies, pizza, cake– is not going cause any harm. Diet culture has long propelled the harmful all or nothing mentality, giving us all a skewed view of what moderation actually is. So what would that 20 percent look like in practice?If you eat a 2,000 calorie per day diet, that would translate to 400 calories from your favorite packaged or fast food, about what you’d get in a quarter pounder with cheese. 👋🏻Hello soon-to-be Nutrivore Nerds, I am so happy to have you here! 🍏Learn how to ditch diet culture and get the most nutrients from your food with the no-guilt, personalized, and exciting new science that will change how you think about food and nourishment! 📱Head over to my creator YT landing page to find links to free downloads and helpful guides and webinars to get you started with Nutrivore! #DrSarahBallantyne #nutrivore #ultraprocessedfoods
How ultra processed foods can fit into a healthy diet Dr. Sarah Ballantyne 2024-01-05 | I want to be clear that I’m not endorsing these ultra processed foods. This is just an illustration, which I hope shows you just how much, let’s call them quality-of-life foods, you can fit into a healthy diet without derailing your progress.If you eat a 2,000 calorie per day diet, that would translate to 1600 calories from whole and minimally-processed foods and 400 calories from your favorite packaged or fast food.400 calories is about what you’d get in a quarter pounder with cheese (that averages 417 calories), seven Oreo cookies (which averages 375 calories), one slice of pepperoni pizza (which averages 430 calories), or a medium glazed donut plus a can of regular Coke (which together averages 330 calories).👋🏻Hello soon-to-be Nutrivore Nerds, I am so happy to have you here! 🍏Learn how to ditch diet culture and get the most nutrients from your food with the no-guilt, personalized, and exciting new science that will change how you think about food and nourishment! 📱Head over to my creator YT landing page to find links to free downloads and helpful guides and webinars to get you started with Nutrivore! #DrSarahBallantyne #nutrivore #ultraprocessedfoods
Do we have to avoid all ultra processed foods? Dr. Sarah Ballantyne 2024-01-03 | Do we have to avoid all ultra-processed foods? Nope!The good news is that several large studies have shown that ultra-processed foods in moderation don’t harm our health. Let’s look at one of these studies.This data comes from a 2019 prospective study of nearly 20,000 Spanish university graduates (average age was 37 at the beginning of the study) followed for 15 years.The graph here shows the increase in mortality over time comparing the people who ate 4 or more servings of ultra-processed foods to people who consumed 3 or fewer servings of ultra-processed foods per day.This study authors calculated that people who consumed four or more servings of ultra-processed foods daily had a 62% increased risk of total mortality compared to 2 or fewer servings per day.And that was after accounting for confounding variables, which included sex, age, marital status, educational level, smoking, physical activity, television viewing, napping, diet quality, dietary habits, snacking and BMI.👋🏻Hello soon-to-be Nutrivore Nerds, I am so happy to have you here! 🍏Learn how to ditch diet culture and get the most nutrients from your food with the no-guilt, personalized, and exciting new science that will change how you think about food and nourishment! 📱Head over to my creator YT landing page to find links to free downloads and helpful guides and webinars to get you started with Nutrivore! #DrSarahBallantyne #nutrivore #ultraprocessedfoods
Navigating Ultra Processed Foods in Moderation Dr. Sarah Ballantyne 2024-01-02 | Can you be healthy if you enjoy your favorite ultra processed foods in moderation? Yes!I think a fair interpretation of the current scientific evidence is that, if you’re meeting your body’s nutritional needs from the 80 percent of your diet that is whole and minimally-processed foods, the 20 percent of your calories that comes from ultra-processed foods is unlikely to cause any harm. Some people refer to this as the 80/20 rule. What would that look like? If you eat a 2,000 calorie per day diet, that would translate to 400 calories from your favorite packaged or fast food, about what you’d get in a quarter pounder with cheese, seven Oreo cookies (five and a half, if Double Stuf), one slice of pepperoni pizza, or a medium glazed donut plus a can of Coke.👋🏻Hello soon-to-be Nutrivore Nerds, I am so happy to have you here! 🍏Learn how to ditch diet culture and get the most nutrients from your food with the no-guilt, personalized, and exciting new science that will change how you think about food and nourishment! 📱Head over to my creator YT landing page to find links to free downloads and helpful guides and webinars to get you started with Nutrivore!

Its Never too late to improve your health! Dr. Sarah Ballantyne 2023-12-30 | A 2022 study estimated that adopting a healthier diet starting at age 20—defined as eating more vegetables, fruits, legumes, fish, and whole grains, as well as a handful of nuts each day, while reducing ultra-processed foods—could add nearly 11 years to the lifespan of females and 13 years to the lifespan of males. doi: 10.1371/journal.pmed.1003889Don’t worry if you aren’t 20 years old, because it’s never too late to benefit from improving diet quality. The same study showed that making these healthy diet changes at age 60 could still add 8 additional years of life, and making these changes at age 80 could still add 3.4 years of life!👋🏻Hello soon-to-be Nutrivore Nerds, I am so happy to have you here! 🍏Learn how to ditch diet culture and get the most nutrients from your food with the no-guilt, personalized, and exciting new science that will change how you think about food and nourishment! 📱Head over to my creator YT landing page to find links to free downloads and helpful guides and webinars to get you started with Nutrivore! #DrSarahBallantyne #nutrivore #healthylifestyle
