This Popular Snack Can Shorten Your Life, New Study Says | Eat This Not That - Eat This, Not That

Starchy snacks, especially those made from white potatoes—like potato chips—can shorten your life by putting you at higher risk for cardiovascular disease, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

Researchers looked at just over 21,000 participants in a large nutrition survey in the U.S., from 2003 to 2014. Categorizing their dietary patterns, they analyzed what type of food was consumed at each meal and subsequent health outcomes at the end of the survey period.

Those who ate starchy snacks (rather than snacks from grains, fruit, or dairy) had up to 57% increased risk for cardiovascular-related death. Those who snacked on the other, healthier options had a reduced risk, not only from heart issues but also cancer.

Although other types of food raised risk, particularly refined grains and cured meat, it was the snacks that seemed to be especially problematic.

Lead study author Ying Li, Ph.D., in the department of nutrition and food hygiene at Harbin Medical University School of Public Health in China, says the results suggest that when you eat these kinds of foods may be just as much of an issue as what you're eating.

For example, Li says the risk for heart difficulties seemed to be highest for those who snacked on a high-starch option soon after a meal. If you're eating a "Western-style" meal that is high in processed grains, cheese, added sugars, cured meat, and solid fats, a snack that comes within the next couple of hours can keep your blood sugar levels elevated—which is tough on your heart.

White potatoes do contain dietary fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, so previous research has noted they don't need to be cut out of a healthy diet altogether especially if they're prepared in a way that retains those nutrients. But a high degree of processing can not only strip those out, but it also tends to add in salt and fat, which can both have negative effects on heart health, says Li.

If you're a potato lover, the key is likely cutting down on starchy snacks and instead, incorporating potatoes into your meal. For example, consider baking strips or cube them and sauté away. Also, Li adds, the recent study highlighted the benefits of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains as snack options so if you're craving a nibble during the day and want better heart health, try switching to those choices instead.

4 healthy snacks you can easily make at home this monsoon - GQ India

The Smart Swap: This is a traditional recipe, but isn’t as unhealthy as we’ve been brainwashed to believe. Besan is gram flour, and protein rich, so enjoy that damn bhajiya instead of feeling guilty. Celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar also suggests trying konfal (purple yam) pakoras in the monsoon, which has all the feels of potato, but is packed with Vitamin C, and has a low glycemic index, ideal for those with a sugar problem.

Health tip: Use peanut oil/coconut oil for frying as these s have a high smoke point and won’t get damaged by heat very quickly. Also don’t reuse this oil for cooking or for frying. In order to prevent too much wastage, start with just the bare minimum amount of oil that you need. Home-fried food can absolutely be enjoyed once in a while as part of a balanced diet

Bengaluru: In fine move, citizens’ group supplies snacks, refreshments - Times of India

BENGALURU: Volunteers from Malleswaram & Suttha Muttha group have been distributing about 600 packets of refreshments to staff in government hospitals every day.
They launched the drive in the last week of April after a hospital requested them for snacks as all canteens and eateries were shut due to the lockdown. The group collected more than Rs 10 lakh for this and other initiatives.
Sunayana Chatrapathy, a member of the group, said they reach out to five public health centres and a hospital every day.
With 20-25 volunteers and support pouring in from residents, some of whom now live abroad, they have also reached out to 5-10 other hospitals in Bengaluru. Even ITC Britannia has reached out to the group with one lakh packets of biscuits and cakes.
“We aim for a variety of items every day like buttermilk, and bakers ensure the food is healthy,” Chatrapathy said. Another member said the refreshments are packed in a way that doctors can eat them without removing their gloves.
Besides this, volunteers present healthcare workers with hand-written thank-you cards. The group has also organised vaccination drives, including one where citizens over 85 years are taken in a car and vaccinated in the vehicle itself.
Staff to be felicitated
Inner Wheel Club, Bangalore will felicitate doctors at Bowring Hospital and public health centres at 11am on Thursday. The club has organised another event at 4pm where various resident welfare associations have contributed gift hampers and plaques to be presented to doctors and healthcare workers.
