New Pioneering Book “Sugarproof” Empowers Families to Identify Hidden Sugars

"Sugarproof: The Hidden Dangers of Sugar That Are Putting Your Child’s Health at Risk and What You Can Do" is a groundbreaking book co-authored by Dr. Michael Goran, a childhood nutrition expert, and Dr. Emily Ventura, a nutrition education and recipe development expert. The book aims to enlighten families about the hidden sugars in their diets and provides practical, family-oriented solutions to reduce sugar consumption. The authors debunk myths around various types of sugars, illuminate their impact on children's health, and highlight the deceptive marketing practices of food companies. While the book doesn't advocate for a complete abandonment of sugar, it champions smart consumption and encourages families to take on a 7-Day or 28-Day No Added Sugar Challenge. "Sugarproof" offers tools to understand food labels, identify the many disguises of sugar, and prevent and reverse the ill effects of added sugars, featuring 39 kid-friendly recipes and tips for engaging children in the shopping and cooking process. The book’s release coincides with recent changes by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and USDA dietary guidelines highlighting the risks associated with added sugars.

5 Ways To Protect Your Remote Employees From Tech-related Illness

With an estimated 4.7 million people in the U.S. working remotely, employers' duty of care has become increasingly important to ensure a safe and productive work environment. To protect the health of remote workers, especially against issues arising from the use of technology, employers can take several steps. Firstly, provide the right equipment such as ergonomic chairs, adjustable desks, glare screens, and wrist supports to prevent strain and injury. Secondly, emphasize the need for regular breaks to prevent burnout and physical discomfort. Thirdly, regularly check in on employees' mental and emotional well-being, as remote work can lead to isolation and depression. Employers should create a nurturing atmosphere, facilitate social interactions within the team, and encourage a sense of belonging to combat feelings of isolation. Lastly, employers should send clear and strong safety messages, organize awareness sessions, and provide resilience training to ensure the health and productivity of their remote workforce.
