As Kanye West dismisses concerns about Bianca Censori’s controversial wardrobe, DR MAX PEMBERTON reveals the signs you may be in a controlling relationship

Sabir Ansary — Wed, 20 Mar 2024 01:15:27 +0000

The family and friends of Australian-born Bianca Censori, wife of Kanye West, are said to be concerned about her well-being. Based on the pictures and stories I’ve seen online, I can’t say I blame them.

Censori, 29, an architect with a master’s degree from the University of Melbourne, and West, 46, the rapper-ex-husband of reality star Kim Kardashian, secretly married in December 2022 and have been causing controversy ever since.

Censori has been seen in increasingly risky and compromising situations, from appearing to be performing a sex act with her husband in Venice to wearing increasingly revealing clothing.

Additionally, West has posted disturbing images of her on his Instagram page for his 20 million followers to view. These include shots of his wife in fetish gear, performing household chores, all uploaded to a chorus of criticism.

Censori herself has no social media accounts – apparently banned by her husband, who says it is for her own protection.

Bianca Censori and Kanye West secretly married in December 2022 and have been causing controversy ever since… there are reports he’s dictating what she wears, eats and when she can talk

Censori has been seen in increasingly daring outfits, including this X-rated look recently in Paris, when she wore no underwear with sheer stockings and a tank top.

There are other reports that West dictates what his wife wears, what she can eat and when she can speak.

Of course, what we see is just a snapshot of a marriage, and for his part, West has said he just wants to show off his beautiful wife.

Yet former girlfriend Julia Fox, 34, who dated West for a month in 2022, made some serious allegations about someone she refers to only as “the artist” in her memoir, Down The Drain.

She revealed that ‘the artist’ tried to control what she wore by sending her a wardrobe of clothes he had pre-approved. He also tried to persuade her to get breast implants.

When it comes to Censori, photos of her before she met West show a happy, smiling young woman partying with her friends in Melbourne, wearing cocktail dresses, shorts and T-shirts.

In contrast, photos of her taken last month at Paris Fashion Week, wearing a fur stole and sheer tights, with what appears to be no underwear underneath (a choice that could get her sued for indecent exposure), seem alarming.

Although Censori insists she is comfortable in her own body, it is clear to her family and friends that something has changed.

Over the years I have had a number of patients who were in coercive and controlling relationships – a form of psychological abuse in which the abuser exhibits a pattern of manipulative behavior within a relationship.

What is shocking to those on the outside is that the victim is often unaware that it is even happening.

I’ve sat in front of people (usually women, but men can be victims of coercive control too) and told them I’m afraid they’re being controlled, and they’ve shaken their heads in utter denial.

One woman was not allowed to see her family, had her own bank account and had to keep a tracker on her phone so that her husband always knew where she was. She didn’t think this was shameful, horrifying behavior.

Censori has no social media accounts of her own – apparently banned by her husband, who claims it’s for her own protection

He had convinced her that it was because he cared about her so much and wanted to know that she was always safe.

The manipulator is often very clever at gaining control; it happens gently at first and in small, subtle ways. They might suggest that a partner isn’t very good with their finances, or is being scammed in some way, and that it would be better if they took full control of the money.

Perhaps after a fight with their family, the controller will encourage someone to cut off contact, saying their family doesn’t deserve them.

It is usually expressed in terms of wanting to help the other person be happier. Little by little, the victim’s sense of self is destroyed and his self-confidence is eroded.

Sometimes it can happen so gradually that the person doesn’t realize it – until one day they wake up and realize they barely know themselves anymore.

Because they often deliberately distance themselves from friends and loved ones, it is all the more challenging to open their eyes to what is really happening.

But people can and do escape these types of toxic relationships, and the first step is always recognizing the signs that they may be being manipulated. Women’s Aid highlights ten key red flags to look out for:

Isolating yourself from friends and family;

Depriving you of basic needs, such as food;

Taking control of aspects of your daily life, such as where you can go, who you can see, what you can wear and when you can sleep;

Monitoring you via online communication tools or spyware;

Deny you access to support services, such as medical services;

Repeatedly putting you down and telling you you’re worthless;

Demean, humiliate or dehumanize you;

Control over your finances;

Making threats or intimidating you.

This is by no means an exhaustive list. But if any of these ring a bell in the relationship you’re in, it could indicate coercive control, a recognized form of domestic violence. It’s a crime and the law is on your side.

Meghan’s vengeful timing Maybe it was just a coincidence that the Duchess of Sussex launched her new lifestyle brand just 45 minutes before Prince William gave an emotional speech at the 25th Diana Legacy Awards?

Perhaps it was yet another coincidence when Meghan and Harry announced the winner of Archewell’s $100,000 civil rights prize a few hours later. But I suspect they don’t do much by accident.

The Duchess of Sussex launched her new lifestyle brand just 45 minutes before Prince William gave an emotional speech at the 25th Diana Legacy Awards

In that case, it seems cruel to steal Prince William’s attention in this way, especially if it was a celebration of his mother’s legacy.

It comes across as petty and bitter. I had hoped that the brothers would find a way to reconcile. But there can be no hope of healing as long as one party behaves this way.

For all the Sussexes’ talk about how ’empathy and compassion are the building blocks of a better world’, it’s just hot air. It is not compassionate to try to mislead a family member, especially at a sensitive time. It’s mean and vindictive.

Lily Allen said last week that having children “totally ruined” her career as she chose to prioritize it over singing and acting projects. She insisted that you can’t have everything. I think she’s right.

But why should women feel torn between a career and a family, while men usually aren’t? For me, this is where the real sexism lies. If having children means you can’t have everything, that should apply to fathers as much as it does to mothers.

Dr. Max prescribes… an ice bath A study from the University of Warwick found that a dip in a cold bath can reduce inflammation in the body and promote good health.

Reducing inflammation is important because it can be linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer, as well as depression and anxiety. Granted, not as appealing as the idea of a warm bath, but maybe it’s worth a try?

FAA audit of Boeing’s 737 Max production revealed dozens of problems

Sabir Ansary — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 03:08:48 +0000

A six-week Federal Aviation Administration audit of Boeing’s production of the 737 Max plane revealed dozens of problems in the production process at the planemaker and one of its key suppliers, according to a slide presentation reviewed by The New York Times.

The air safety regulator launched the investigation after a door panel blew off a 737 Max 9 during an Alaska Airlines flight in early January. Last week, the agency announced that the audit found “multiple instances” in which Boeing and its supplier, Spirit AeroSystems, failed to meet quality control requirements, although it did not provide details of the findings.

The presentation reviewed by The Times, while highly technical, offers a more detailed view of what the audit yielded. Since the Alaska Airlines episode, Boeing has come under intense scrutiny over its quality control practices, and the findings add to the body of evidence about manufacturing defects at the company.

For the part of the investigation focused on Boeing, the FAA conducted 89 product audits, a type of assessment that looks at aspects of the production process. The aircraft maker passed 56 of the audits and failed 33 of them, with a total of 97 cases of alleged non-compliance, the presentation said.

The FAA also conducted 13 product audits for the portion of the investigation that focused on Spirit AeroSystems, which makes the fuselage or body of the 737 Max. Six of those audits resulted in passing grades, and seven in failing grades, according to the presentation.

At one point during the investigation, the air safety agency observed technicians at Spirit using a hotel key card to check the door seal, according to a document detailing some of the findings. That action was “not identified/documented/called out in the production order,” the document said.

In another instance, the FAA observed Spirit technicians applying liquid Dawn soap to a door seal “as a lubricant during the installation process,” the document said. The door seal was then cleaned with a wet cheesecloth, the document said, noting that the instructions were “vague and unclear as to what specifications/actions should be followed or recorded by the technician.”

Asked about the appropriateness of using a hotel key card or Dawn soap in such situations, a Spirit spokesperson, Joe Buccino, said the company was “reviewing all identified nonconformities for corrective action.”

Boeing did not immediately comment on the results of the audit. In late February, the FAA gave the company 90 days to develop a plan for quality control improvements. In response, CEO Dave Calhoun said that “we have a clear view of what needs to be done,” citing in part the audit findings.

Boeing said this month it was in talks to acquire Spirit, which it spawned in 2005. Mr. Buccino said Monday that Spirit had received preliminary audit findings from the FAA and planned to work with Boeing to address what the regulator had raised. He said Spirit’s goal was to reduce the number of defects and errors in its processes to zero.

“In the meantime, we are continuing multiple efforts to improve our safety and quality programs,” said Mr. Buccino. “These improvements focus on human factors and other steps to minimize non-conformances.”

The FAA said it could not release details of the audit because of the ongoing investigation into Boeing following the Alaska Airlines episode. In addition to that investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board is investigating what caused the door panel to blow off the plane, and the Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation.

During the FAA’s investigation, the FAA deployed as many as 20 auditors to Boeing and about half a dozen to Spirit, according to the slide presentation. Boeing assembles the 737 Max at its factory in Renton, Washington, while Spirit builds the aircraft’s fuselage at its factory in Wichita, Kan.

The audit at Boeing was broad and covered many parts of the 737 Max, including the wings and an assortment of other systems.

Many of the problems found by auditors fell into the category of not following an “approved manufacturing process, procedure or instruction,” the presentation said. Some other issues related to quality control documentation.

One audit involved the part that blew the Alaska Airlines plane, known as a door plug. According to the presentation, Boeing failed to do so. Some of the issues uncovered in that audit related to inspection and quality control documentation, although the exact findings were not detailed in the presentation.

The FAA’s investigation also examined how well Boeing employees understood the company’s quality control processes. The agency interviewed six business engineers and scored their responses, and the overall average score came to just 58 percent.

An audit at Spirit that focused on the door plug component revealed five issues. One of those issues, the presentation said, was Boeing’s “failure to provide evidence of approval of minor design changes in a method acceptable to the FAA.” It was not clear from the presentation what the design change was.

Another audit involved the door plug installation, and it was one of the audits where Spirit failed. The audit raised concerns about the Spirit technicians who performed the work and found that the company “failed to establish the knowledge necessary to operate its processes.”

Other audits where Spirit failed included one involving a cargo door and another involving the installation of cockpit windows.

Max Hardy, 40, deceased; Helped bring chef-driven cuisine to Detroit

Jeffrey Bailey — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 21:40:27 +0000

Max Hardy, who helped bring a new level of chef-driven yet accessible cuisine to his native Detroit and was widely considered one of the most promising of a young generation of black culinary stars, died Monday. He was 40.

His publicist, David E. Rudolph, announced the death but did not provide a cause or location. He said Mr Hardy was in good health as recently as this weekend.

Although born in Detroit, Mr. Hardy moved to South Florida with his family at a young age. As an aspiring chef, he drew from the region’s Latin American influences, as well as his mother’s Bahamian heritage, and mastered dishes such as roasted pork ribs, fried plantains, and ackee and saltfish, Jamaica’s national dish. He married those influences with a deep love of South Carolina Lowcountry cuisine, such as shrimp and grits, fried fish and hop John.

After more than a decade as a private chef for basketball star Amar’e Stoudemire, followed by a few years working in the kitchens of New York City, he returned to Detroit in 2017 to open a string of high-profile restaurants, including River Bistro , Coop Caribbean fusion and Jed’s Detroit, a pizza-and-wings shop.

He worked continuously and with the energy of an entrepreneur. He had his own lines of chef’s clothing and dry spices. He partnered with Kellogg’s to bring plant-based products from the company’s Morningstar Farms brand to restaurants like his. And he regularly appeared on Food Network shows like “Chopped” and “BBQ Brawl.”

Until recently, Detroit was a gastronomic desert, with few options other than fast food and chains. But in the 2010s, a wave of young chefs like Mr. Hardy to change the city’s image.

“He had something of a reputation as a personal chef for a very prominent NBA player, but I noticed he returned to town with very little ego,” he said. Kiki Bokungu Louya, a chef and executive director of the nonprofit Detroit Food Academy. “He was very willing to find out who was already doing the work on site.”

He founded his own non-profit organization, One chef can satisfy hunger, which raises awareness about food insecurity and healthy eating, especially among young people. During the 2019 government shutdown, he offered free lunches to laid-off federal workers; During the pandemic, he opened pop-up food kitchens to feed Detroit’s at-risk residents.

“When I can go into a kitchen and prepare meals for 500 or 1,000 people, it energizes me and takes me away from the daily grind of restaurants,” he told The Detroit Free Press in 2021. “It’s actually peace for me. to cook for a few hundred people and give something back. And it nourishes the soul. It feels really good to do this.”

In 2017, The New York Times named Mr. Hardy one of the “16 Black Chefs Changing Food in America” (Ms. Louya was among the others), not only for his skill in the kitchen but also for his willingness to push the boundaries of to renovate his kitchen. what defines a successful fine dining chef.

“Growing up in Detroit, you didn’t see chefs and restaurants as elevated,” he told The Times. “It was Motor City, not Food City. Now I can create a dinner based on the recipes of Hercules, a slave who was George Washington’s personal chef, and I can have my restaurant, and I can teach children in the community. There are so many more ways to strive for greatness as a chef.”

Maxcel Hardy III was born on December 5, 1983 in Detroit and moved to Tampa, Florida as a child. His first love was basketball, but an injury in high school ended his dreams of a serious career.

His high school had recently opened a culinary arts program, and he soon found himself under the mentorship of the principal. He worked at Ruby Tuesday after school and won a scholarship his senior year to continue his education at Johnson & Wales University in North Miami.

By age 21, he was a chef at a country club in the Miami area, and within a few years he had his own luxury catering company. From 2009 to 2014, he was Mr.’s full-time personal chef. Stoudemire, who played mainly for the Knicks in those years. The two published a cookbook in 2014, ‘Cooking With Amar’e’.

Survivors include his mother and two daughters.

Mr. Hardy’s first restaurant in Detroit, River Bistro, closed after a few years, but by then he had opened two more. He was working on a third one, specializing in fish, when he died.

“My goal is to always open restaurants downtown to help serve the community while providing great food,” Mr. Hardy told the website Eater Detroit in 2022. “I feel that while it may be easier to open in a larger suburban area, it is typical and would only serve myself.

“Food is at the center of everything,” he continued, “and I want to create restaurants that help support communities in need. I also try to show that you can open successful restaurants in your hometown.”

NTSB says Boeing failed to provide material information in the 737 Max investigation

Sabir Ansary — Wed, 06 Mar 2024 18:09:33 +0000

The chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board told a Senate committee Wednesday that Boeing was slow to provide any information to the agency as it investigates what caused a door panel to separate from an Alaska Airlines plane during a flight in January.

The official, Jennifer Homendy, told the Senate Commerce Committee that her agency had requested all documentation that exists related to the opening and closing of the panel, known as a door plug, at Boeing’s factory in Renton, Washington. Ms Homendy said the safety board had also requested the names of certain workers at the factory.

Boeing has a team of 25 employees and a manager who handles doors at the Renton plant, Ms. Homendy told the Senate committee. The manager was on medical leave and the agency was unable to interview that person, Ms. Homendy said. She added that Boeing had not provided the safety board with the names of the remaining 25 employees.

“It’s absurd that two months later we don’t have that anymore,” she said.

Boeing did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The aircraft manufacturer is being investigated by the safety council and the Federal Aviation Administration following the January 5 episode involving the Alaska Airlines plane, a Boeing 737 Max 9 that took off from Portland, Oregon. No one was seriously injured when the door opened. The plane plugged off at about 16,000 feet, but the accident has led to new scrutiny of Boeing’s quality control practices.

A preliminary report released by the safety board last month said four bolts intended to hold the door plug in place had been removed at Boeing’s Renton plant and did not appear to have been reinstalled before the plane was delivered.

Boeing has faced a wave of criticism since the episode. The FAA banned the company from expanding production of the 737 Max series until quality control issues were addressed, and last week the regulator gave the company 90 days to develop a plan to make improvements.

Christian Horner ‘holds a face-to-face meeting’ with Max Verstappen’s agent

Jeffrey Bailey — Tue, 05 Mar 2024 01:58:19 +0000

RED Bull chief Christian Horner met with Max Verstappen’s representative on Monday in a bid to calm rising tensions in his F1 team.

The crisis talks in Dubai came just 48 hours after the Dutch driver’s father, Jos, said Red Bull would “explode” if Horner stayed on his track.

Max’s manager Raymond Vermeulen is said to have acted on behalf of the Verstappens, who were not present.

A source said the summit – reportedly attended by senior Red Bull figures – “went well”.

Horner has faced intense criticism in recent weeks following allegations of ‘sex’ and harassment against him by a female colleague.

An internal investigation by Red Bull cleared the 50-year-old, who has always denied the claims.

Max Verstappen’s father: Red Bull could be ‘torn apart’ if Horner stays

Stay up to date with the biggest stories from Formula 1. Register here to receive the Prime Tire newsletter in your inbox every Tuesday and Friday.

Fractures within Red Bull Racing appear to have widened after Max Verstappen’s father Jos warned the team was “in danger of being torn apart” if Christian Horner were to remain in charge, amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the team boss.

Horner continues to be in the spotlight after a turbulent few days in Bahrain to start the new Formula 1 season. Although Verstappen claimed his eighth consecutive Grand Prix victory with a dominant performance, beating teammate Sergio Pérez by more than 20 seconds, his father publicly spoke out about divisions within the team as the situation remains the biggest story in the sport.

The situation became public in early February when Red Bull GmbH, the parent company of Red Bull Racing, announced it had launched an investigation into allegations against Horner of inappropriate behavior, which it said it was taking “extremely seriously”.

On Wednesday, Red Bull announced that the investigation, conducted by a third party, had led to the complaint being dismissed, noting that the complainant had the right to appeal. The following day, a collection of messages allegedly communicated between Horner and the female complainant were leaked anonymously to senior F1 officials and the international media. The Athleticsthat received the email leak directly has been unable to verify the contents and Horner has repeatedly declined to comment on the messages.

In a interview with the Daily MailJos Verstappen warned: “There is tension here while (Horner) remains in position. The team is in danger of falling apart. It cannot continue as it is.

“It will explode. He plays the victim when he is the one causing the problems.”

Jos Verstappen raced in F1 between 1994 and 2003 and has played a central role in his son’s career and success, even though he has no formal role in the team. He made similar comments about the controversy in a separate interview with Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, also published on Saturday evening after the race.

Asked about Verstappen’s comments, a Red Bull spokesperson said: “There are no problems here, the team is united and we are focused on racing.”

Tensions escalate

Jos Verstappen’s comments publicly pitted the father of the team’s star driver against his team boss.

He attends the vast majority of his son’s races. Although he is not an employee of Red Bull Racing, his close relationship with Max means he has a degree of influence. On Thursday he was seen wearing a Red Bull team jacket while watching the second training session in Bahrain, during which the anonymous email was distributed.

After the race, Horner said he would “not comment on what motives any person might have” for the leak.

Jos denied to both the Daily Mail and De Telegraaf that he was involved in the leak, telling the Daily Mail: “That wouldn’t make sense. Why would I do that if Max is doing so well here?”

There has been mounting evidence of friction within the team since the death of Red Bull co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz in October 2022. Mateschitz was the undisputed leader of the company’s F1 efforts, and his absence has led to increased tensions between senior figures within the team. company.

After the race, Horner said he was “absolutely” confident that he would remain in charge of the team and that his “focus is on the season ahead and the races we have ahead of us” following the completion of the investigation process .

“The complaint that was made was dismissed,” Horner said. “End of. Continue.”

He said it had ‘not been pleasant, the unwanted attention’, but spoke of the ‘huge support’ he felt from the team and the wider Red Bull company.

On the grid before the race, Horner spoke to Chalerm Yoovidhya, the son of Red Bull’s co-founder, whose family has a 51% stake in Red Bull GmbH. Horner and his wife, Geri Halliwell-Horner, were joined by Yoovidhya and his wife to attend the podium celebrations following Max Verstappen’s victory. Jos stood a few rows behind them during the ceremony.

Max Verstappen has maintained throughout the investigation into Horner that he is fully focused on what is happening on the track and that the situation has not distracted him from his preparations for the new season.

Requested by The Athletics on whether he still had full confidence in Horner’s leadership, Verstappen said after taking pole position on Friday: “When I look at how Christian operates within the team, he has been an incredible team boss.

“So absolutely, from the performance side, you can’t even question that.” Verstappen said he spoke to Horner “a lot” and that the Red Bull team boss was “fully involved in the team.”

His father’s comments will nevertheless lead to new questions about the dynamic with Horner ahead of the second round of the season in Saudi Arabia in a few days.

Max is under contract with Red Bull until 2028 after signing one of the longest and most lucrative contracts in F1 history following his first championship success in 2021.

The nature of the brewing tension at Red Bull led to Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff (who has called for transparency in the investigation) being asked whether there was any chance Verstappen could drive for the team before 2025 as a replacement for Lewis Hamilton .

Wolff said: “A driver will always choose the fastest car. That’s essentially what it’s all about. At the moment Red Bull is the fastest car, so that will always be the priority in my opinion.”

Boeing is facing a Justice Department review over the Max 9 incident

Sabir Ansary — Thu, 29 Feb 2024 02:04:31 +0000

The Justice Department is investigating whether an early January incident in which a part of a Boeing plane exploded mid-flight violated a 2021 agreement to settle a criminal charge against the company, according to a person familiar with the matter. is with the research.

Boeing agreed to pay more than $2.5 billion to settle the lawsuit, which stemmed from two fatal crashes of its 737 Max 8 planes. The deal, reached in the final weeks of the Trump administration, was criticized at the time for being too lenient on the company.

Under the terms, Boeing agreed to compensate the families of the crash victims, as well as the airlines affected by the grounding of the planes. The Justice Department agreed to drop a criminal charge based on the actions of two employees who withheld information from the FAA

Last month, a panel in the fuselage of a larger Max 9 blew out shortly after takeoff from Portland, Oregon, at an altitude of 16,000 feet, exposing passengers to deafening winds. There were no serious injuries, but the incident could have been catastrophic had it occurred minutes later at a higher altitude. The panel is known as a ‘door plug’, which is used to close a gap left by an unnecessary exit door.

The Justice Department investigation was reported previously by Bloomberg.

The January episode reignited the intense scrutiny and scrutiny Boeing faced following the crashes in Indonesia in late 2018 and Ethiopia in early 2019, which killed a total of 346 people. The Max 8 and Max 9 were not allowed to fly worldwide for several days after the second crash. Since the jets began flying again in late 2020, they have flown several million flights worldwide.

The weight of the crisis seemed to be lifting even before the January incident. A preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board suggested that the plane in that episode may have left Boeing’s factory without the need for bolts to secure the panel. The Federal Aviation Administration immediately grounded nearly 200 Max 9 jets in the United States pending inspections. Flights by plane have now resumed.

The FAA also increased inspections of the Washington state plant where Boeing makes the Max. On Wednesday, the agency gave the company 90 days to create a plan to improve quality control.

“Boeing must commit to real and deep improvements,” FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker said in a statement announcing the deadline. “Making fundamental changes will require a sustained effort from Boeing’s leadership, and we will hold them accountable every step of the way, with mutually understood milestones and expectations.”

Earlier this week, a group of FAA experts released a long-awaited report in the wake of the Max crashes, showing that Boeing’s safety culture was still lacking despite improvements in recent years.

Last week, author and associate professor Dr Chris van Tulleken presented a packet of the aforementioned breakfast cereals to the House of Lords Committee on Food, Diet and Obesity, and argued that this, and other ‘harmful’ junk food, should be of health are stripped. claims and a ban on advertising.

He was one of several experts who spoke before Parliament about the scourge of junk food, especially when it comes to children. Dr. Van Tulleken accused the mass-produced food industry of behaving in a similar way to big tobacco by selling addictive products that could be harmful.

It’s a subject he has written about in his latest book Ultra-processed People: Why Do We Eat Stuff That Ain’t Food And Why Can’t We Stop, which was serialized by the Daily Mail, and the horrific consequences for exposes health – including type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer – from junk food and the ruthless tactics companies use to sell their products to an unsuspecting public.

“Poor nutrition has overtaken tobacco as the leading cause of death worldwide – and poor nutrition means an ultra-processed diet,” he argues.

It’s hard not to agree. While not addictive in the same way as alcohol or heroin, processed foods are often carefully crafted to lighten our reward pathways.

‘Poor diet has overtaken tobacco as the leading cause of death worldwide – and poor diet means an ultra-processed diet,’ argues Dr Chris van Tulleken.

This is similar to the way cocaine works on the brain and can create a strong desire to seek out the ‘reward’ again and again: a form of psychological addiction. I’ve seen this many times.

Patients simply seem unable to stop eating processed foods and feel out of control over them in a way that they don’t with other types of foods. The cravings can be extreme as our brains try to get us to initiate that reward pathway over and over again.

This is no coincidence; these foods are carefully formulated to maximize the effect they have on our reward pathways, making them incredibly appealing.

It’s easy to say that people just need to learn some self-discipline, but for many, these little moments of “reward” are intoxicating and incredibly hard to resist.

After all, we are hardwired to seek rewards and it is a difficult instinct to fight, especially when you are a child.

Manufacturers effectively use our neurology against us to help sell their products.

Now I have to admit that I love Coco Pops. There is always a box in my closet. But they are a rare treat – maybe once a month at most.

In the meantime, I eat healthy and exercise regularly. I eat enough fruit and vegetables, only eat lean meat such as chicken and fish and avoid processed food. So I think it’s okay to indulge once in a while. I sure as hell am not a monk – I need some vices and it could be a lot worse than an occasional bowl of processed, sugary cereal.

But for many people, these types of highly processed foods are a mainstay of their diet. For many, processed food is an important source of nutrition, appearing in every meal, often several times.

It is especially concerning for children, whose bodies are still growing and developing.

There is clear evidence of the negative impact that ultra-processed foods have, not only on physical health, but also on mental health. A Harvard study last year found that eating ultra-processed foods (UPF), for example, increased the risk of depression.

The study found that participants in the top fifth of UPF consumers – who ate nine or more servings per day – had a 50 percent higher risk of developing depression than those in the bottom fifth, who ate four or fewer servings per day. ate day.

Other studies have also found links to anxiety and cognitive decline. But why? Scientists have made some progress in answering this difficult question. UPFs are high in carbohydrates, saturated fat and energy, and low in protein and fiber.

You don’t see these kinds of combinations with unprocessed food. This, along with the additives such as stabilizers and emulsifiers that extend shelf life and improve taste and texture, cause inflammation in the body, which is known to increase the risk of mental and physical health problems.

Many UPFs are low in micronutrients – such as niacin, pyridoxine, copper, selenium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium and zinc – chemicals that the body needs in small amounts to function properly, which means we’re eating foods that don’t actually work in the skin. is food. nutritional feeling.

I am a libertarian and believe that people should have the freedom to make choices about their lives, including what they eat.

But let’s not forget that many of these products are aggressively marketed to cash-strapped children and families who don’t know the health consequences of the things they put in their shopping carts every week.

The least companies selling these types of products should do is warn those who eat them about the health hazards?

Many adults and teens with severe hair loss will benefit from Ritlecitinib, a breakthrough drug that can induce hair growth in just six months. It is described as a ‘monumental day’ for people suffering from alopecia areata, which can be devastating in many ways for thousands of people.

How Robin fell victim to fame

There has been an outpouring of grief after former Strictly star Robin Windsor died last week at the age of 44.

He was very open about his mental health issues and was a passionate advocate for other patients. I interviewed him about this a few years ago and it was an absolute pleasure talking to him.

But he had also spoken about the impact of being dropped by Strictly after an injury. He was so upset that he couldn’t watch the BBC show and fell into a deep depression.

The chill people experience when the heat of the spotlight is transferred to someone else can be devastating. I saw this when I worked privately and treated a number of former stars who had resorted to drinking or taking drugs or developed cripplingly low self-esteem as their star waned – almost always through no fault of their own.

The world of celebrity is cruel and fickle. It sucks people in and spits them out. This worries me about the number of young people dreaming of stardom. Fame should come with a health warning.

Women who experience a stillbirth or miscarriage before 24 weeks can apply to the government for a ‘baby loss certificate’. The program aims to recognize the devastating impact of pregnancy loss and help grieving families move forward.

I think this is such a good idea. Miscarriage affects people in very different ways. While for some they understand it as part of nature and move on, for others it can be devastating and hang over them for years.

I have spoken to several patients over the years who struggle to move forward precisely because there is so little recognition of their suffering. This will help.

Wendy’s Memoirs

Wendy Mitchell died last week at the age of 68 after a battle with early-onset vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. She decided to stop eating and drinking in an attempt to end her life. Her best-selling 2018 memoir remains one of the best books I’ve read on the subject. Warm, smart and life-affirming, a must-read for anyone affected by dementia.

New headache for Neeraj Chopra at the Paris Olympics? 19-year-old Max Dehning astonishes everyone with a throw of 90 meters

Neeraj Chopra will start as one of the favorites at the Paris Olympics as the Indian defends his gold medal in men’s javelin at the Tokyo Games.

New Delhi: Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra has a new rival at the 2024 Paris Olympics after 19-year-old German Max Dehning became the youngest to cross the coveted 90-metre mark in the men’s javelin throw. Dehning threw his javelin to a distance of 90.20 meters at the German Winter Throwing Championships in Halle on Sunday to make headlines. Dehning, a two-time silver medalist at the U-20 World Championships, improved his personal best of 78.07 meters and turned heads in the athletics community.

With this attempt he also earned a direct quota at the Olympic Games in Paris. The qualifying mark for the men’s javelin throw was 83 meters. He surpassed the 90-metre mark on his first attempt, becoming the 22nd men’s javelin thrower to reach the coveted mark. It is striking that Neeraj has not yet reached the 90-meter mark with a record of 89.94 meters that he achieved in 2022 during the Stockholm Diamond League.

Proving that his beast throw was no fluke, Dehning’s second throw covered a distance of 85.45 meters, alerting everyone around the world that he is here to compete. The silver medal went to Nico Cyclist, whose best performance was 76.56 meters.

Germany has a rich history in javelin throwing as the country produced some of the best athletes including Johannes Weber, including Julian Weber. Interestingly, none of the big players, including Neeraj Chopra, Jakub Vadlejch and Anderson Peters, have started their season in the Olympic year yet.

As for Neeraj, the Indian has decided to change his training base from South Africa’s Potchefstroom to Turkey’s Antalya. The proposal was approved last week by the Mission Olympic Cell (MOC) of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports.

The 26-year-old from Haryana will train at the Gloria Sports Arena in Turkey from the first week of March to the end of May. He is accompanied by his coach and biomechanics expert Dr. Klaus Bartonietz and physio Ishaan Marwaha. Neeraj was last seen at the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou, where he defended his crown. His first event of 2024 is expected to take place in the Doha or Rabat leg of the Diamond League season in May.
