Researchers provide a framework to study precision nutrigeroscience
Dietary restriction is arguably the most promising non-genetic method of extending lifespan and healthspan in many model organisms, including mammals. While researchers scramble to develop interventions that would mimic the benefits of dietary restrictions in humans (who generally have a hard time maintaining Spartan diets), the work from the lab of Buck professor Pankaj Kapahi, […]
What Relieves Stress Fast? How to Relieve Stress Naturally
How to relieve stress comes down to a healthy lifestyle, dietary changes, and changing your thought process. There is no fast-fix cure for stress, and no method is a universal solution. Stress is a product of long-standing stimuli that have slowly but surely broken your body. Hence, resolution strategies take time to work as well. […]
Vitamin D may protect against young-onset colorectal cancer
Consuming higher amounts of Vitamin D — mainly from dietary sources — may help protect against developing young-onset colorectal cancer or precancerous colon polyps, according to the first study to show such an association. The study, recently published online in the journal Gastroenterology, by scientists from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the Harvard T.H. Chan School of […]
New dietary treatment for epilepsy well tolerated and reduced seizures, study finds
The first clinical trial of a new dietary treatment for children and adults with severe forms of epilepsy, co-developed by UCL researchers and based on the ketogenic diet, has been successfully completed. For the study, published in Brain Communications, clinicians evaluated the use of K.Vita®, (also known as Betashot), an oral liquid dietary supplement developed […]
Championing chrononutrition with protein, the morning elixir for muscle growth
Proteins constitute an essential dietary component that help in the growth and repair of the body. Composed of long chains of amino acids, proteins promote the growth of skeletal muscles, the group of muscles that help us move. Humans have been aware of the benefits of proteins for long. However, recent studies have shown that […]
Combining plant-based diet and healthy microbiome may protect against multiple sclerosis: Metabolism of isoflavone by gut bacteria protects mice from MS-like inflammation
A new University of Iowa study suggests that metabolism of plant-based dietary substances by specific gut bacteria, which are lacking in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), may provide protection against the disease. The study led by Ashutosh Mangalam, PhD, UI associate professor of pathology, shows that a diet rich in isoflavone, a phytoestrogen or plant-based […]
