1:21 Red Meat Study Replacing red meat with plant-based protein sources may reduce risk of diabetes and provide environmental benefits
People who eat just two servings of red meat per week may have an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to people who eat fewer servings, and the risk increases with greater consumption, according to a new study led by researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. They also found that replacing red meat with healthy plant-based protein sources, such as nuts and legumes, or modest amounts of dairy foods, was associated with reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.
The study was published on Thursday, October 19, in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

2:44 Strength training may reduce health risks of a high-protein diet
Researchers explain the paradox of how high-protein diets are healthy in athletes, while promoting disease and reducing lifespan in others.
Progressive strength training using resistance can protect against the detrimental effects of a high-protein diet, according to new research in mice.
The study, published today as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, presents what the editors describe as a valuable finding on the relationship between a high-protein diet and resistance exercise on fat accumulation and glucose homeostasis, supported by solid evidence. They say the findings will be relevant to dietitians and others trying to understand links between dietary protein, diabetes and exercise.
Dietary protein provides essential nutrients that control a wide variety of processes in the body and can influence health and lifespan. Protein consumption is generally thought of as good, promoting muscle growth and strength, especially when combined with exercise. Yet in people with a sedentary lifestyle, too much protein can increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes and death.

5:50 Music and Health: What You Need To Know
Can music be good for you?
Yes, according to a growing body of research. Listening to or making music affects the brain in ways that may help promote health and manage disease symptoms.
Performing or listening to music activates a variety of structures in the brain that are involved in thinking, sensation, movement, and emotion.
