🥩 🥩*ASSORTED MEAT: HEALTHY OR UNHEALTHY? IS IT WHITE MEAT OR RED MEAT?*

One statement I hear quite often is:

*"I don't eat beef anymore. I only eat assorted meat because it's healthier."*

Is that really true?

The answer is Not necessarily.

Many people don't realize that most assorted meats (such as liver, kidney, heart, intestine/shaki, roundabout, spleen and lungs/floater) come from cows or goats, which are red meat animals. *THESE ARE NOT WHITE MEAT*❌

So, is assorted meat unhealthy?

Not at all.

Assorted meats are actually rich in nutrients such as:
✅ Iron
✅ Vitamin B₁₂
✅ Zinc
✅ High-quality protein

*However, many organ meats are also high in cholesterol, and some contain significant amounts of saturated fat and purines.* This means they should be eaten in moderation, especially by people living with:

- High cholesterol
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Kidney disease
- Gout

The mistake many people make

*Some people avoid beef but replace it with large quantities of assorted meat, believing they are making a healthier choice. Unfortunately, this may not give the health benefits they expect.*

If you're taking your medications correctly but your diet isn't appropriate for your health condition, reaching your treatment goals may become more difficult. *Medication and nutrition work best together—one does not replace the other.*

Finally,

Don't rely on hearsay when it comes to your health.

Before believing that a particular food is "healthy" or "unhealthy," seek information from reliable, evidence-based sources or consult a Registered Dietitian.

*Remember: It's not just what you eat—it is also how much, how often, and how it is prepared that matters*.

🥗 *Food is one of the most powerful tools we have for preventing and managing many chronic diseases—but only when used wisely.*

Your Health Is in Your Hands.

Pumpkin seeds (also called pepitas) may be small, but they are packed with nutrients that support overall health.

🌱 *What makes pumpkin seeds special?*

They are rich in:

- ✅ Protein – helps build and repair body tissues.

- ✅ Healthy unsaturated fats – support heart health.

- ✅ Antioxidants – help protect the body's cells from damage.

🌱 *Health benefits supported by research*

✔️ Can help people with diabetes by supporting blood sugar management when eaten as part of a balanced diet. Pumpkin seeds are not a cure for diabetes.

✔️ Supports prostate health in men, although more research is still ongoing.

✔️ May improve sleep quality because they naturally contain nutrients involved in healthy sleep.

✔️ Supports immune function due to their zinc content.

🌱 *Best ways to eat pumpkin seeds*

- Sprinkle over oats or cereal.
- Add to salads.

- If you have a seed allergy, avoid them.

- They should complement a balanced diet—not replace prescribed medications or medical treatment.

💡 In conclusion

Pumpkin seeds are a nutritious addition to a healthy diet. Their combination of protein, healthy fats, fibre, vitamins, and minerals makes them an excellent snack for most people, including many people living with diabetes and hypertension.

*Remember, no single food works miracles—good health comes from your overall eating pattern and lifestyle.*

*Eat smart. Stay healthy.*

🌶️ Does Pepper Actually Cause Ulcers?

By Dietitian Blessing (RDN, M.Sc.) DietSphere Clinic | Your No.1 Food Doctor

Many people have been told to avoid pepper because it "causes ulcers." But is this true?

The short answer is NO. Scientific evidence shows that pepper does not cause stomach ulcers.

*So, what really causes ulcers?*

The two major causes of most stomach ulcers are:

✅ Infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori).

✅ Frequent or prolonged use of pain-relieving medications such as aspirin, diclofenac, ibuprofen, and naproxen (NSAIDs).

These factors damage the protective lining of the stomach, allowing stomach acid to injure the tissue and form an ulcer.

*What about pepper?*

Pepper contains capsaicin, the compound responsible for its spicy taste.

Research shows that capsaicin does not create ulcers in healthy people. In fact, some studies suggest it may stimulate the production of protective mucus in the stomach and increase blood flow to the stomach lining, helping protect it.

However...

Why do some people feel worse after eating pepper?

If you already have:

A stomach ulcer

Gastritis

Acid reflux (GERD)

A sensitive digestive system

Pepper can irritate the inflamed stomach lining, causing more pain, burning, or discomfort. This does not mean pepper caused the ulcer—it simply aggravates existing symptoms.

*What should you do?*

✔ If pepper worsens your symptoms, reduce or avoid it until your condition is treated.

✔ If you have persistent stomach pain, don't self-diagnose. See a healthcare professional for proper evaluation, which may include testing for H. pylori.

✔ Avoid unnecessary use of painkillers without medical advice.

The Truth is:

Pepper does not cause stomach ulcers. Most ulcers are caused by H. pylori infection or frequent use of NSAID painkillers. While pepper may worsen symptoms in people who already have ulcers or stomach inflammation, it is not the root cause.

Don't let myths replace the truth. Let science based evidence guide your food choices.

🥤 *IS MALT REALLY A HEALTHY DRINK?*

Many people drink malt believing it's a nutritious, guilt-free beverage. But is it really a healthy choice, or is it simply another sugary drink?

Based on science.

*What is Malt?*

Malt drinks are made primarily from malted barley and may also contain other grains, water, and sugar. Some brands are fortified with B vitamins and other nutrients, but this does not automatically make them a healthy everyday beverage.

The biggest concern? *Sugar*

Many commercial malt drinks contain about *20–35 g of total sugar per serving or bottle,* depending on the brand and serving size. That's roughly *5–9 teaspoons of sugar.*

Regular consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages has been linked to:
• Weight gain
• An increased risk of Type 2 diabetes
• Tooth decay
• A higher risk of heart disease

*Does malt give you energy?*

Yes. Malt drinks provide energy mainly from carbohydrates and sugar. However, this is usually quick energy, not the sustained energy you get from a balanced meal containing fibre, protein, and healthy fats.

*So, is malt healthy?*

✅ It can be enjoyed occasionally as part of a balanced diet.

❌ However, it should not be regarded as a health drink or consumed daily, especially if you're trying to lose weight, manage diabetes, or reduce your sugar intake.

The Bottom line:

Malt is not inherently bad, but it is not a health drink either. Although some brands contain added vitamins and minerals, regular consumption of sugary malt drinks is not the best choice for long-term health.

*Choose water most often, and enjoy malt as an occasional treat rather than a daily habit.*

🍽️ *ALWAYS HUNGRY EVERY 2 HOURS? YOUR BODY MAY BE SENDING A MESSAGE!*

Do you find yourself feeling hungry again just 1–2 hours after eating? It might not mean that you have a fast metabolism. It might be deeper than that.

Occasional hunger between meals is normal, especially if you've been physically active or ate a light meal. However, if it happens consistently, it's worth paying attention to what your body may be trying to tell you.

Here are some possible reasons:

✅ *Your meals may be low in protein*
Protein helps you stay full for longer. Meals that contain little or no protein may leave you hungry sooner.
*Note: Always opt for Lean proteins most of the time*.

✅*You consume too many sugary foods and drinks*
Foods high in sugar and refined carbohydrates can cause rapid rises and falls in blood sugar levels, making you feel hungry again shortly after eating.

✅ *You are not drinking enough water*
Sometimes thirst can be mistaken for hunger. Staying well hydrated is important for overall health and appetite regulation.

✅ *You are not getting enough sleep*
Poor sleep can affect hormones that regulate hunger and fullness, increasing appetite and cravings.

✅ *Your meals may be too small*
If you're not eating enough to meet your body's needs, frequent hunger can be your body's way of asking for more energy.

✅ *You have become more physically active*
Exercise increases energy expenditure, which can naturally increase appetite.

✅ *Your meals may be low in fibre*
Fibre slows digestion and helps keep you satisfied for longer.

⚠️ Sometimes frequent hunger may indicate an underlying health condition
Persistent excessive hunger, especially when accompanied by symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, or unusual fatigue, should be discussed with a healthcare professional.

💡 The Bottom Line

Being hungry every 2 hours is not always a problem.

Instead of asking, "Why am I always hungry?" ask:

✔️ What am I eating?
✔️ Am I eating enough?
✔️ Is my meal balanced?
✔️ Am I sleeping well?
✔️ Am I drinking enough water?

A balanced meal containing lean protein, fibre-rich foods, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates can help keep you fuller for longer and support better health.
