Introduction: Sleep and diet are crucial determinants of overall health and wellbeing, with the potential to mutually influence each other. This study examined the association between sleep duration and fruits and vegetables (FV) consumption among Finnish adults.Methods: The study analyzed data from the National FinHealth 2017 Study involving 5,043 adults aged 18 years and above. Participants reported… Continue reading Consumption of #fruits and #vegetables and its association with #sleep duration among Finnish adult population: a nationwide cross-sectional study

#Ketogenic diet induces p53-dependent cellular #senescence in multiple organs
A ketogenic diet (KD) is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that leads to the generation of ketones. While KDs improve certain health conditions and are popular for weight loss, detrimental effects have also been reported. Here, we show mice on two different KDs and, at different ages, induce cellular senescence in multiple organs, including the heart… Continue reading #Ketogenic diet induces p53-dependent cellular #senescence in multiple organs
The microbiome-driven impact of western #diet in the development of noncommunicable chronic disorders
Noncommunicable chronic disorders (NCDs) are multifactorial disorders that share a state of chronic, low-grade inflammation together with an imbalance of gut microbiota. NCDs are becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide, and mainly in Western countries, with a significant impact on global health.Societal changes, together with the widespread diffusion of modern agricultural methods and food processing, have led… Continue reading The microbiome-driven impact of western #diet in the development of noncommunicable chronic disorders
Association of ultra-processed #food consumption with all cause and cause specific #mortality: population based cohort study

Highlights•Oats, brown rice, and millet improve health outcomes in diabetes mellitus type 2.•The most prevalent grains tested in trials included oats, brown rice, and buckwheat.•The most outcomes studied in diabetes were related to cardiovascular risk factors.AimsA systematic review and meta-analysis of published randomized controlled trials was conducted to collate evidence from studies implementing ancient grains… Continue reading Use of ancient #grains for the management of #diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Consumption of #Olive Oil and Diet Quality and Risk of #Dementia-Related Death
Question Is the long-term consumption of olive oil associated with dementia-related death risk? Findings In a prospective cohort study of 92 383 adults observed over 28 years, the consumption of more than 7 g/d of olive oil was associated with a 28% lower risk of dementia-related death compared with never or rarely consuming olive oil, irrespective of diet… Continue reading Consumption of #Olive Oil and Diet Quality and Risk of #Dementia-Related Death
Associations of #dietary patterns with #brain health from behavioral, neuroimaging, biochemical and genetic analyses
Food preferences significantly influence dietary choices, yet understanding natural dietary patterns in populations remains limited. Here we identifiy four dietary subtypes by applying data-driven approaches to food-liking data from 181,990 UK Biobank participants: ‘starch-free or reduced-starch’ (subtype 1), ‘vegetarian’ (subtype 2), ‘high protein and low fiber’ (subtype 3) and ‘balanced’ (subtype 4). These subtypes varied… Continue reading Associations of #dietary patterns with #brain health from behavioral, neuroimaging, biochemical and genetic analyses
One #Avocado per Day as Part of Usual Intake Improves #Diet Quality: Exploratory Results from a Randomized Controlled Trial
Few clinical trials have evaluated diet quality change as a predictor of intervention effectiveness.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to examine changes in the Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015 after a food-based intervention, and assess the associations between HEI-2015 change and intervention effects on cardiometabolic risk–related outcomes.MethodsThe Habitual Diet and Avocado Trial was a 26-wk, multicenter,… Continue reading One #Avocado per Day as Part of Usual Intake Improves #Diet Quality: Exploratory Results from a Randomized Controlled Trial
Opposing diet, #microbiome, and metabolite mechanisms regulate inflammatory #bowel disease in a genetically susceptible host
Highlights•Dietary fiber-deprived gut microbiota elicits lethal colitis in Il10−/− mice•Mucolytic gut bacteria weaken mucus and drive inflammatory immune responses•Alterations in bacterial IgA coating and increased NK cells precede inflammation•Exclusive enteral nutrition promotes bacterial isobutyrate, reducing inflammationSummaryInflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are chronic conditions characterized by periods of spontaneous intestinal inflammation and are increasing in industrialized populations. Combined with… Continue reading Opposing diet, #microbiome, and metabolite mechanisms regulate inflammatory #bowel disease in a genetically susceptible host
