Host Elspeth Feldman reviews CHEF AJ's new cookbook, UNPROCESSED 10th Anniversary Edition.   

Elspeth: One of the brightest stars in the whole food, plant-based universe is shining even brighter now – to the benefit of us all. My story: I have been following Chef AJ for several years and met her in person, pre-covid at a few of the many vegan conferences where she was presenting nationwide. I was already plant-based when she crossed my path, but became doubly inspired by her riveting story in her original book, Unprocessed.  As a result, I immediately shifted to a whole food plant based lifestyle -- and never looked back!

Higher daily step count linked with lower all-cause mortality

In a new study, higher daily step counts were associated with lower mortality risk from all causes. The research team, which included investigators from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Institute on Aging (NIA), both parts of the National Institutes of Health, as well as from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also found that the number of steps a person takes each day, but not the intensity of stepping, had a strong association with mortality.

Widening the Circle of Compassion

The father of the contemporary vegan movement, Donald Watson (1910–2005), and his compatriots recognized that the flesh-food industry and the egg and dairy-product industries were inextricably linked, because animals raised to produce eggs and milk were eventually slaughtered and eaten when they were no longer productive. These British vegans contended that the case against these industries rivaled the indictment of the meat industry, so the use of dairy products and eggs was no longer justifiable for ethical vegetarians. Their intent was to eliminate the exploitation of animals and to move closer to a truly humane society.

Long periods of sedentary behavior may increase cardiovascular risk in older women

Artical by The National Institutes of Health. A new study has found that the longer older women sit or lay down during the course of a day—and the longer the individual periods of uninterrupted sitting—the greater their risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease and stroke. But reducing their sedentary time by just an hour a day appears to lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases by 12 percent—and for heart disease alone, by a dramatic 26 percent, the research found. The study was funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of the National Institutes of Health.
