(BPT) – Cheesecake is having a moment — and it’s not just after a celebratory steak dinner in a fancy restaurant. That’s right, you can have cheesecake anytime morning, noon or night. Feeling peckish before lunch? Use Krusteaz Cheesecake Muffin Mix to whip up a mid-morning snack to tide yourself over. Or maybe it’s an afternoon pick-me-up you need? Cheesecake is here for that, too. In fact, research shows that 80% of consumers like or even love cheesecake.

Here’s how to capitalize on this sweet trend and incorporate the creamy, rich goodness of cheesecake into your life more often:

1. Cheesecake is simple to make — why limit it to dessert?

Classic cheesecake is made of three ingredients: cream cheese, sugar and eggs. Everything else is optional. You can buy a ready-made crust or crush graham crackers with brown sugar and butter, if you’ve got those on hand. A spring-form cheesecake pan is ideal, but you can make do by lining a regular pan with overhanging parchment paper so you can lift your cheesecake out after you bake it. For a fresh take, you can substitute ricotta for cream cheese or crushed cookie crumbs for graham crackers.

To bake or not to bake? It’s the age-old cheesecake question. No-bakes get their texture from gelatins or puddings and are lighter and fluffier than regular cheesecake. But if it’s a denser texture and fuller flavor you’re craving, then baked cheesecake is the way to go.

2. Cheesecake plays well with seasonal fruits and berries.

Spring brings fresh strawberries, which may be your cheesecake’s best friend — sliced, diced, folded into whipped cream — the possibilities are endless. Summer’s blueberries, blackberries and cherries invite makers to create glorious trifles. Just layer fruit, bite-sized pieces of angel food cake and a mixture of cream cheese, sour cream, whipped cream and powdered sugar, plus a little vanilla or almond extract. Apples, pears and figs come to fruition in the fall. Whether you slice them fresh or make a warm fruit compote with sugar and honey, your cheesecake will pair nicely with these autumn fruits. Winter is the time to add grapefruit, kiwis and pears to your cheesecake toppings portfolio.

3. Cheesecake is versatile enough to fit every craving!

Oh the joys of this delicious, all-purpose treat! Cheesecake can be decadent or light, depending on the recipe and your palate. It can come in any size — from balls to bites to full-on towering slices. Wait, what if the cheesecake were the filling? Krusteaz has created a cheesecake-filled muffin mix that combines the sweet and tangy cheesecake flavor with the soft, fluffy muffin texture Krusteaz consumers have come to love. The muffin base has warm notes of vanilla, cinnamon and honey to mimic the flavor profile of a traditional cheesecake crust. Simply add water, oil and eggs. For an even richer filling, add in an extra four ounces of cream cheese.

So treat yourself to cheesecake whenever you crave it! And check out featured recipes straight from the Krusteaz Kitchen, so you can have your cheesecake and eat it, too!

(BPT) – March is National Nutrition Month, the perfect time to review your diet and eating habits so you can make informed decisions about your food choices. As you take stock of your fridge, consider adding one important staple to your weekly meal plans: fish.

Fish is an excellent source of protein and other nutrients that support your whole health. Read on to discover the top four reasons to incorporate more fish into your diet.

1. Excellent source of protein

If you want to add an alternative source of protein to your meals, fish is an excellent option.

“As a registered dietitian, I always emphasize the importance of incorporating nutrient-dense protein into a balanced diet, and seafood is a great option,” said Mia Syn, M.S., R.D.

How much protein a serving of fish offers depends on the type of fish. For example, a 5-ounce serving of Morey’s Fine Fish & Seafood Wild Salmon Seasoned Grill provides 27 grams of protein, while a 5-ounce serving of Morey’s Tilapia Sweet Chili has 23 grams of protein.

“The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends enjoying seafood at least twice a week,” said Syn. “Just pair it with veggies and fiber-rich carbohydrates, and you’ll have a delicious, complete meal.”

2. Supports a balanced lifestyle

If you want to have a more balanced lifestyle, eating fish is a good place to start. Incorporating fish into your diet is a great way to take care of your heart, brain and bones, and can even improve your mental health. For those wanting to get more active, fish should be your preferred fuel. The lean protein will fill you up without weighing you down before or during your workout.

3. Versatile freezer staple

There are so many types of fish and so many ways to prepare them. Whether you grill, bake, air fry or poach it, fish’s versatility makes it an invaluable and convenient freezer staple.

For your next Taco Tuesday, pick up Morey’s Blackened Salmon with Mike’s Hot Honey. In no time, you’ll have a tasty taco filling that is the perfect blend of sweet and heat.

If you’re in the mood for a salad, cook up a filet of Morey’s Wild Flounder Garlic & Herb to top it. The garlic, rosemary, oregano, basil and parsley marinade pairs well with just about any leafy greens you like.

4. Easy to make

Even if you’re not a chef, you can make fantastic fish meals with little effort. Fish is incredibly easy to make, so you can create a delicious lunch or dinner without any culinary knowledge.

To save time and create a restaurant-quality meal at home, check out your local grocery aisle for Morey’s frozen fish. They’re tasty, easy-to-make options that the whole family can enjoy.

“Keeping Morey’s in your freezer means you’ll always have a quick, tasty and nutritious protein option on hand,” said Syn. “Their pre-marinated products make it easy to meet your twice-weekly fish goal.”

Whether you’re looking for an easy Lent-friendly dinner for the next Fish Friday or just an anytime treat, follow Syn’s simple and delicious five-ingredient salmon sushi bowl recipe.

5-ingredient Air-Fryer Salmon Sushi Bowl

Prep time: 10 minutes; Cook time: 10 minutes; Serves: 2

Ingredients:

1 box of Morey’s Wild Salmon Seasoned Grill, thawed

1 medium avocado, diced

1 cup cucumber, chopped

2 cups cooked rice

2-4 tablespoons spicy mayo

Optional topping: green onion, sesame seeds

Directions:

1. Preheat air fryer to 370 F.

2. Remove the filets from the pouch and cut into cubes.

3. Place the salmon in a single layer, not touching, with flat side down in the air fryer. Air fry for 10-11 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, cook the rice according to package instructions.

5. Divide rice between two bowls, then top each with salmon, cucumber and avocado. Add spicy mayo and garnish with green onion and sesame seeds, if using.

Fill up on a filet of fish

These are just a few of the many reasons why you should eat fish this month and beyond. To learn more about Morey’s fish products, discover more recipes and find a store near you, visit Moreys.com.

(BPT) – Guardant Health

Did you know colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most treatable forms of cancer when it’s caught in its early stages, yet one in three American adults are not up to date with recommended screening? This means more than 50 million Americans age 45 and older may miss the chance to catch CRC early, when survival rates are as high as 91%. Instead, they may not know they have CRC until it’s in late stages, when the chance of survival can plummet to 16%.

Studies show that people at average risk for colon cancer often avoid screening because they think traditional screening options, such as colonoscopies and stool-based tests, are unpleasant or inconvenient. But alternative options, like a simple blood test, may help more people get screened.

Like many Americans, Elissa Brown, a 61-year-old college counseling advisor, was facing this problem. After a loved one was diagnosed with colon cancer, Brown learned firsthand how critical it is to stay up to date with screenings but still had concerns about traditional options being inconvenient or unpleasant.

“I knew how important it is to get checked for colon cancer, but seeing the impact of the disease reinforced how critical screening truly is for everyone,” said Brown. “That’s why I prioritized talking to my doctor about screening and learning about the different options available.”

At her next OB-GYN appointment, Brown asked about CRC screening. While she had used a stool-based test previously, this visit taught her about an alternate approach — Shield, a new blood test that offered a more pleasant screening option for people age 45 and older and at average risk for colon cancer. The test only required a simple blood draw during a routine doctor visit.

Brown decided Shield was the best option for her. She was also confident that she was using a screening method recommended by her OB-GYN’s practice and backed by study results published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

After a quick blood draw, Brown received her results about two weeks later, giving her the peace of mind of knowing she not only had a negative result but was also up to date with her screening for colon cancer.

“I was nervous about getting screened for colon cancer, but Shield helped eliminate those fears,” she said. “The best part is the test didn’t require any preparation or downtime — just a quick blood draw — which is important to me because my life is very busy.”

The Shield test is covered by Medicare, so those with Medicare Part B will have no out-of-pocket cost; if you have a Medicare Advantage plan, you may have a copay. Once Shield is included in clinical screening guidelines, many commercial insurance providers are expected to cover it as well.

“I’m so glad I didn’t let the stress of a colonoscopy or the ‘ick’ factor of stool tests stop me from taking care of my health,” said Brown. “Early detection can save your life and now the Shield blood test makes screening so easy. It just makes sense to get it done and know your status.”

Adults 45 and older who are due for colon cancer screening can talk to their doctor about whether Shield is the right option for them. To learn more about Shield, visit ShieldCancerScreen.com.

Shield is indicated for colorectal cancer screening in individuals at average risk for the disease, age 45 years or older. Patients with a positive result should be followed by colonoscopy. Shield is not a replacement for diagnostic colonoscopy or for surveillance colonoscopy in high-risk individuals. This test is performed at Guardant Health, Inc.

(BPT) – By Mariano Bendersky, Head of Digital Healthcare & Innovation, U.S. Autoimmune T1D at Sanofi

Sponsored by Sanofi

Healthcare (as we know it) is evolving to meet the needs of an increasingly digital world. Between telehealth adoption and people of all ages embracing “health from home” solutions, it’s clear that new tools and resources are shifting how people look at, and manage, their care — expanding preventative care and wellness for communities with unmet needs.

Take the type 1 diabetes (T1D) space, as one example. Today, new and exciting advancements are working to reduce barriers, increase access, and expand optionality when it comes to early T1D autoantibody screening. And it couldn’t come at a better time. While T1D screening helps people understand their risk of developing the disease before symptoms (and potentially serious complications) appear, many are unaware that screening exists. Perhaps even more troubling, some have difficulty accessing it.

Thanks to an influx of digital innovation in the existing screening landscape, this is all about to change. Below, take a look at how T1D screening access is transforming in the digital age.

Why T1D screening matters

According to the T1D Index, an estimated 1.6 million people in the U.S. are living with T1D — an autoimmune disease wherein the pancreas makes little to no insulin. The disease doesn’t occur overnight; it develops in stages over time. That said, in Stages 1 and 2 of the T1D, there are often no visible signs or symptoms, making it difficult to spot early. As a result, many are forced to find out about their diagnosis in Stage 3, when potentially severe complications can arise.

Unfortunately, according to Global Pediatric Health, as many as four in 10 people don’t know they have T1D until they are already in the hospital with life-threatening complications. What’s more, a status report in Diabetes shows that up to 90% of people diagnosed with T1D have no family history of the disease. Experiencing a T1D diagnosis like this — in an urgent scenario and with little prior exposure to the disease — can understandably be overwhelming. In an instant, you’re thrusted into a new reality that requires 24/7 disease management. For this reason and more, early detection of the disease is valuable because it can offer a precious window of time when individuals can learn more about how to prepare for life with T1D before symptoms arise.

Modernizing T1D screening access

In an effort to complement currently available T1D screening options and bring this potentially life-saving process to the digital age, Screening Central was born. As the first telehealth-enabled, user-initiated platform to request T1D autoantibody screening, Screening Central offers a comprehensive and convenient solution to help with every step of T1D screening. Developed in collaboration with Sanofi, the platform breaks down the process into three steps.

• Getting Started: To start, visit Screening Central and answer a short health history questionnaire.
• Getting Evaluated for Testing: From there, your information will be evaluated by an independent healthcare provider, who will determine whether you are an appropriate candidate for screening. If confirmed, you can decide what your preferred screening method is, which could include talking to your doctor, getting tested at a lab, or participating in research trials.
• Getting Your Results: After that, you will receive a phone call or arrange a televisit to discuss results or you can choose to have results shared directly with your doctor.

In 2025, no one should find out they have T1D in Stage 3 under potentially life-threatening circumstances. By leveraging end-to-end digital health innovation, Screening Central helps overcome existing barriers to screening and makes it easier than ever to put early T1D risk detection first.

As you can see, innovation is truly around every corner in the T1D space. Equipped with breakthrough advancements like Screening Central, now is the time to learn more about T1D and understand if screening is right for you. To learn more about Screening Central — and the other screening options available to you — visit Screen For Type 1.

(BPT) – Why put all your eggs in one basket? With food prices rising, families are embracing a playful, budget-friendly tradition: Easter potatoes!

Potatoes are a durable and versatile pantry staple that provides the perfect blank canvas for Easter fun. To celebrate the growing Easter trend, Potatoes USA is showing folks how to paint, craft and cook potatoes, proving that creativity and tradition go hand in hand.

“Kids of all ages love potatoes, and parents love that they offer an easy, fun, and affordable way to get creative,” says Kayla Vogel, mom and senior global marketing manager at Potatoes USA. “They don’t require delicate handling. Just grab some edible paint or removable stickers, and let the fun begin!”

Are you ready to add your own tater twist to a classic Easter tradition? Check out these pro tips for celebrating with potatoes this spring.

1. Paint with food coloring

For gold-star-level results, use food coloring for a delicious, edible dye. Paint the coloring directly onto the potato for the most vibrant color. If you don’t plan to eat the potatoes, apply a coat of hairspray to seal the color.

2. Choose the right materials for paint-based projects

For paint-based projects, look for non-toxic, washable paints. Use a white primer coat to make the colors pop!

3. Create potato cookies

The great thing about potatoes is that you can cut them into pretty much any shape.

“This year, we’re slicing our potatoes and using cookie cutters and food coloring to paint Easter shapes and spring animals before putting them in the air fryer,” said Vogel. “It’s a really fun activity. My kids love eating potato bunnies, and I love my kids eating their vegetables.”

4. Make potato stamps

Parents can also cut potatoes in half to create Easter stamps! Once halved, children can use a pen or marker to draw a shape or design on the potato’s flat edge. Adults can carefully cut around the drawing using a carving knife, leaving the raised shape on the potato. After the adults have finished carving, the little artist can paint the potato stamps and use their creations to make Easter-themed paintings on paper.

5. Minimize cleanup

For your potato crafting time, it helps to cover the workspace with newspapers or plastic tablecloths to minimize cleanup. Also, consider using gloves to keep little hands clean from food coloring or paint.

Celebrate Easter meals with easy potato recipes

Easter is a time for family, fun and, of course, delicious meals. Potatoes are not only a staple on the holiday table but also a versatile, nutrient-dense vegetable. They have one-third of your daily vitamin C, are a good source of potassium, and have 3 grams of plant-based protein.

After your family finishes their potato crafts, use any leftover potatoes to make these easy, kid-approved recipes for Easter celebrations.

Herb and cheese deviled potatoes

This potato-based take on the classic hors d’oeuvre makes for a fun and filling finger food for kids and adults alike. In just 45 minutes, you can whip up enough deviled potatoes for everyone to enjoy while you put the finishing touches on the other dishes.

You can garnish the potatoes with pretty much anything you have on hand. Try using sun-dried tomatoes, smoked salmon, radish slices, fresh herbs, tiny pickles or chilies.

Fingerling potato hash with turkey bacon

Roasted fingerling potatoes with onions, smoky turkey bacon, charred Brussels sprouts, and lemon make for a great vegetable side for any meal, but especially for an Easter brunch. The best part? You can make this hash in just 35 minutes.

Apple spiced potato muffins

Wake up to a sweet treat with these apple-spiced potato muffins. This recipe combines whole wheat muffins with spiced apples and shredded potatoes, topped with a potato cream cheese streusel. While these muffins are perfect for breakfast, you can eat them for any meal!

This Easter, take your celebration from good to great by using potatoes to create art and eats. Visit PotatoGoodness.com to learn more about the many health benefits of potatoes and find some delicious spring recipes.

(BPT) – For anyone facing tooth loss, dental implants offer more than just a cosmetic solution. They can have a significant impact on your overall health and well-being. However, it’s important to do your homework to ensure you’re receiving care from an experienced and qualified professional and to avoid costly mistakes. After all, dental implant treatment is a complex procedure, and one you do not want to cut corners on to save a little time and money. Mistakes in initial treatment may forever negatively impact your final results.

Cost is a big consideration when it comes to dental implants, and you may be tempted to go abroad to save on your dental procedure. In 2022, more than 787,000 Americans were projected to seek medical and dental treatments abroad. However, doing so can cost you down the line.

Receiving medical treatment abroad can leave you without recourse if complications arise after returning home. If an implant fails or your new prosthesis requires adjustments, obtaining follow-up care can be difficult and expensive.

Implant parts and pieces are not interchangeable, and even if you find a willing dentist, the parts may not be available or identifiable. That is why many dentists will not accept a patient who has already been treated by another dentist. Without proper post-procedure monitoring, the risk of infection, improper healing, and implant failure can increase.

Why long-term success matters more than quick fixes

Treatment timelines are another consideration when it comes to dental implants. There has been a rise in treatment centers that offer permanent teeth within 24 hours of surgery. While this option might sound appealing, especially for someone who is eager to have new, permanent teeth, it can come with significant trade-offs, including:

• Improper fit and bite misalignment
• Gaps between the gums and the teeth
• Compromised speech and articulation
• Lack of customization, leading to discomfort and speaking issues

You should be certain that if any of the above situations arise after the 24-hour period that the treating dentist agrees to address these issues and predetermine if there are additional costs. While fewer appointments may sound ideal, the follow-up process after surgery is worth your time. You’ll want to choose a provider who offers you the option to customize and refine your new smile in the weeks and months following surgery.

How to choose the right dental implant provider

When considering dental implant treatment, asking the right questions can help you make an informed decision and avoid costly complications down the line.

Who you choose to perform your dental implant surgery can make the difference between a smile of joy and a grimace of pain. Prosthodontists and oral surgeons at ClearChoice Dental Implant Center, a national leader in fixed full-arch restorations, have collectively treated over 200,000 patients and placed over one million implants. In fact, ClearChoice doctors regularly perform corrective surgeries for the types of cases mentioned above. Unfortunately, these corrections, if at all possible, can cost more than the original unsuccessful treatment.

Understanding the full journey of implant treatment helps set expectations and ensures you receive comprehensive care. Use the following tips to help you make an informed decision about your dental implant provider.

1. Ask the right questions about the full treatment process:

While you may not know the answers, you can begin your journey to quality dental implants by asking the right questions. During a consultation, ask your dental implant provider:

• How will dental implants benefit me?
• What are the many procedures and steps I can expect?
• How will my treatment plan be customized to my needs?
• What will you do if I have complications with the implants or prosthesis in the future?
• What does the healing process look and feel like?
• What is the expected recovery time?
• What steps are taken to ensure the implants last long-term?

Asking these questions can help you make an informed decision about your oral condition and may put you at ease when considering undergoing dental implant surgery.

2. Verify qualifications

Not all dental professionals have the extensive training and experience that is necessary to perform dental implant treatment. Do your research to ensure your dental implant procedure is performed by trained specialists like prosthodontists and oral surgeons who have extensive experience in complex treatments and full-arch restorations.

You may be able to look up a dental implant provider’s credentials online. However, during your consultation, you should ask about their qualifications and how many dental implant procedures they have performed.

3. Be wary of red flags

In addition to verifying a provider’s credentials, be on the lookout for any red flags. Be cautious and watch for the following signs:

• A promise of permanent teeth within 24-48 hours with no promise for follow-up appointments.
• No option to refine and customize the look, fit, and feel of your prosthesis during the healing process.
• The doctor not being present during the initial consultation visit and only a support staff discussing the treatment plan and fees.

4. Look for providers who stand behind their work

A reputable provider should offer long-term assurances of their dental implant procedures. ClearChoice, for example, offers patients a lifetime warranty on full-arch zirconia prostheses, demonstrating their commitment to quality and patient satisfaction.

ClearChoice’s Lifetime Warranty covers a “no cost replacement” of the zirconia prostheses for all new patients in the rare event of a fracture or crack in the prosthesis. This warranty underscores ClearChoice’s commitment to both clinical excellence and patient satisfaction, ensuring peace of mind and long-term protection on your investment. ClearChoice doctors stand behind their work for life and are trusted providers to perform this procedure the right way.

5. Choose long-term outcomes over short-term convenience

Dental implants are a long-term investment in both health and confidence. The best outcomes come from providers who emphasize:

• Research-backed healing methods
• Precision in implant placement and bite alignment
• High-quality materials designed for longevity
• Ongoing support and care to optimize implant success

Invest in the Right Care for a Lifetime of Benefits

Choosing the right provider means prioritizing expertise, technology, and long-term care over short-term cost savings. With proper placement and follow-up care, dental implants can last for decades, providing lasting function, comfort, and confidence.

Using these five tips, you can find a provider who offers quality work that will make you smile. To learn more about whether dental implants are right for you and to find a local provider, visit ClearChoice.com.
