In Australia, Mediterranean Diet Costs Less than Alternatives, Study Finds

New research from the University of Southern Australia confirmed the Mediterranean diet is good for health and fits a lower weekly budget. The study compared food baskets of the Mediterranean, the typical Australian Western and the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating diets. The Mediterranean diet was more cost-effective than other standard diets, saving 28 Australian dollars (€17) per week while offering higher nutritional value. “Many people may think that eating ‘healthy’ is expensive and it takes a lot of time to prepare and cook food,” Karen Murphy, an associate professor at the University of Southern Australia, told Olive Oil Times. “We know from previous research from around the world and from our studies here in Australia that the Mediterranean diet is a healthy dietary p...

How diet became a dirty word and what science really says about losing weight

Here's a sobering statistic: more than 55 per cent of those who begin the year planning to lose weight have given up within six months. If that sounds like you, don't despair.

Obesity researcher Dr Nicholas Fuller, from the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre for global health, says the changes to metabolism brought on by radical dieting can prompt the body to pull every trick it can muster to return to its starting weight. He has a hot tip for anyone with a goal to drop kilos: do not...

Ashton Kutcher’s Wellness Journey Led To A Major First At The South Pole

Ashton Kutcher was looking to regain "self-confidence" after suffering a blow to his health sometime in 2020.

Yes, the literal southernmost point of the Earth — that South Pole. There, a man asked him if he would like to climb a mountain. It wasn't a reboot of his prank show "Punk'd," as Kutcher and the guide actually climbed a mountain, and the trip led to a series of firsts. On "The Late Late Show with James Corden," Kutcher sat down with the host to explain how, once at the top, he was told he was the first person to ever make the summit. Read more at The List
