Eating whole raw or cooked vegetables carries more health benefits than sticking to green juices.
Juice cleanses may seem like a healthy fad, but nutrition experts advise against them on a number of grounds. One big reason: They lack fibre.
Nutritionists often tout the benefits of a fibre-rich diet filled with a variety of vegetables and other plant-based foods. Indeed, it’s common knowledge that eating your veggies is good for your health.
“Consumption of fibre has long been associated with several health benefits, including reduction in the risk of several diseases including cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer,” said Jonathan Valdez, owner of Genki Nutrition and New York City media spokesperson for the New York State Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
WATERTOWN â Peyton L.S. Morse was going to celebrate four years of personal and academic growth when he received his diploma from Siena College later this month.
Instead, family members, close friends and members of the Watertown and Shaker Road-Loudonville fire departments will come together Saturday on the campus, near Albany, for a special commencement ceremony for the fallen city firefighter.
The young firefighter will receive his diploma posthumously after he suffered a medical emergency while training at the New York State Academy of Fire Science in Montour Falls, near Watkins Glen, on March 3. He died March 12.
âThe event is especially for Peyton and is not a part of regular commencement,â city Fire Chief Matthew Timerman said Friday.
