Red/Purple Produce is Best for Our Weight and Heart N
ew research published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition has found the color of the fruits
and vegetables we eat may affect our weight and heart health differently. The study followed 1,272 people over a three-year period, beginning in 2006 and 2008. The researchers compared their respective diets over both periods with levels of cholesterol, weight and waist circumference—all measures of obesity. The research grouped fruits and vegetables into red/purple, yellow, green, orange or white. Among women, greater consumption of red/pur-
ple fruits and vegetables was related to lower weight and abdominal fat, lower blood sugar and reduced
total cholesterol. Meanwhile, greater consumption of yellow fruits and vegeta- bles was linked to weight gain over the same period. Among men, the researchers found those that ate more red/purple fruits
and vegetables had reduced weight and waists compared to those that ate oth- er-colored foods over the three-year period by an average of 13 and 14 percent, respectively. Greater yellow fruit consumption was linked to lower total choles- terol levels. Green and white fruits and vegetables were associated with reduced abdominal fat gain over the three-year period.

2015 study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control has found that more than half of American children are dehydrated. The research analyzed data from the 2009-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for children 6 to 19 years old. The study also found that boys have a 76 percent greater likelihood of being dehydrated, and African-Americans were 34 percent more likely to not drink enough water compared with U.S. Caucasians. “Dehydration accounts for hun- dreds of thousands of hospitalizations each year due to a number of illnesses that can lead to depletion of fluids and electrolytes from the body,” says Dr. Daniel Rauch, associate professor of pediatrics at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, in New York City. It can be difficult for parents to
gauge the level of hydration in chil- dren. Researchers from the University of Arkansas have determined that urine color provides a reliable indicator of hydration levels, with darker urine indi- cating increasing levels of dehydration.
