The twin brothers behind the Happy Pear want people to know they don’t want to preach about ‘moral’ food – they want people to eat healthily. The Happy Pear began in 2004 with a single café and has now grown to a good food ‘empire’, stocking in supermarkets such as Supervalu around Ireland. They said the crux behind the business was always a simple one, according to the brothers – to get people to eat more vegetables. “It’s been a 20-year journey,” co-founder Stephen Flynn told The Anton Savage Show. “Looking back, there were a few pivotal moments -…
Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) recently issued guidelines which suggested that even home-cooked food can be unhealthy if not prepared properly. It is a preconceived notion that home-cooked meals are healthier options as compared to junk food.

They are also calorie-dense. The medical research also mentioned that saturated fat raises the risk of obesity. Ghee…

Teens from less affluent families in Europe are at greater risk of obesity, inactivity and poor diet, which are risk factors for cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes, the WHO said Thursday. A new report revealed “alarming disparities” in the health of young people across Europe, with those from low-income families “disproportionately affected”, the World Health Organization said.

Where do you sit on the chart? If your body weight falls between 25 and 30 you are technically “overweight”. Anything higher than 30 is described as “obesity”. And if your BMI is above 40 you would earn yourself a particularly offensive definition of being “morbidly obese,” which bodes as well for your health and longevity as the name suggests. “Excess weight” is the umbrella term used for anyone with a BMI over 25. Statistically, nearly three quarters of people aged between 45-74 are either overweight or obese according to the health survey for England published in 2022. Men fared the worst,…
