Raw Non-Dairy Cheesecake
By Derek Henry
MARAZE/SHUTTERSTOCK
T
here are very few people
who can resist a well-made
cheesecake (even a badly
made one will get devoured). The
only problem is cheesecakes are
typically not healthy at all, as they
are loaded with refined sugars and
dairy that cause many digestive
problems.
The good news is, this raw
cheesecake recipe is actually
good for your belly, in more ways
than one.
The purpose of this cheesecake
recipe is to provide you with an
alternative recipe that is raw and
free of dairy and refined sugar.
This helps improve the digestion
of this beauty, and the addition
of probiotic cultures ensures that
your belly comes out much happier after you down a slice or three.
I also should mention, not many
people will notice the difference in
taste from a regular cheesecake.
You can tell them after serving and
revel in their surprise, or just keep
it your healthy little secret.

Drunkorexia 101: Increasing Alcohol’s Effects
Through Diet and Exercise Behaviors
ASTAROT/SHUTTERSTOCK
While many people view college drinking as
the norm, how students drink can place them
at a higher risk for multiple problems. Drinking on an empty stomach usually means that
someone will get drunk faster, given that food
helps to absorb alcohol, slowing down alcohol absorption into the bloodstream.
A growing trend among college drinkers is called “drunkorexia,” a non-medical
term that refers to a combination of alcohol with diet-related behaviors such as food
restriction, excessive exercising, or bingeing
and purging.
“Drunkorexia refers to a complex pattern
of drinking-related behaviors that take place
before, during, and after a drinking event,”
explained Dipali V. Rinker, a research assistant professor in the department of psychology at the University of Houston.
“College students appear to engage in
these behaviors to increase alcohol effects
or reduce alcohol-related calories by engaging in bulimic-type or diet/exercising/calorie/restricted eating behaviors.”
Rinker presented this research in June at
the 39th Annual Research Society on Alcoholism in New Orleans.
Rinker said there are a number of consequences. “Potential outcomes may include
less inhibition that could lead to more negative alcohol-related consequences,” she said.
“Additionally, restricting caloric intake to
those from alcohol could lead to vitamin
depletion, as it may keep the individual from
eating more nutrient-dense foods.”
Rinker said her research is designed to flesh
out the definition of drunkorexia as well as
identify different types of “drunkorexic”
behaviors.
“Our information examines the association
between these different types of drunkorexic behaviors and other predictors of problem drinking among college students, such
as gender differences,” she said.
The association between gender and
drunkorexia is a complex one, she noted.
“While it is clear that college women who
drink more are more likely than men to
engage in bulimic-type behaviors, and with
greater frequency, and to experience more
alcohol-related problems as a result of these
behaviors, there were no gender differences
for engaging in drunkorexia to increase the

effects of alcohol or engaging in bulimictype behaviors to compensate for alcoholrelated calories.
“In some cases, men were more likely to
engage in bulimic-type and diet/exercising/
calorie-restricted eating behaviors to reduce
alcohol-related calories. Further research is
needed to more fully understand these differences,” she said.
“It is important to realize that, in addition
to the amount and/or frequency of alcohol
consumption, the manner in which college
students drink puts them at greatest risk for
experiencing problems,” Rinker emphasized.
“Students who engage in compensatory
dieting/exercise behaviors before, during, or
after a drinking event to either increase the
effects of alcohol or reduce alcohol calories by
either engaging in bulimic-type or extreme
dieting, exercise, or restrictive behaviors—
such as skipping meals—are putting themselves at risk for serious negative consequences related to alcohol use.
“In addition to reducing risky drinking levels, college students should also make sure to
stay well-hydrated and not drink on an empty
stomach. Additionally, college students should
make sure that they are eating healthily and
engaging in healthy exercise behaviors, particularly if they choose to drink.”
