Sedentary behaviour is very prevalent in modern societies, with young adults spending approximately 6 h/day sitting. Sitting induces declines in endothelial function, increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Nutrition during sitting may be used as a strategy to minimise such effects. This acute randomised, counterbalanced, double-blinded, cross-over, placebo-controlled human study investigated whether intake of dietary… Continue reading Dietary #flavanols preserve upper- and lower-limb endothelial function during #sitting in high- and low-fit young healthy males

Relative associations of #coffee, #tea, and plain #water with all-cause and cause-specific #mortality: a prospective cohort study
Previous studies have highlighted the health benefits of coffee and tea, but they only focused on the comparisons between different consumptions. Consequently, the association estimate lacked a clear interpretation, as the substitution of beverages and distribution of doses were not explicitly prescribed. We focused on the “relative association” to ascertain the optimal consumption strategy (including… Continue reading Relative associations of #coffee, #tea, and plain #water with all-cause and cause-specific #mortality: a prospective cohort study
Daily #Mango Intake Improves #Glycemic and Body Composition Outcomes in Adults with #Prediabetes: A Randomized Controlled Study
Background: Prediabetes is on the rise and can progress to type 2 diabetes and related cardiometabolic complications if left untreated. Nutrition plays a critical role in blood glucose regulation, and evaluating the effects of whole foods on indices of glycemic control and body composition within individuals with prediabetes is important. This study examined whether consuming… Continue reading Daily #Mango Intake Improves #Glycemic and Body Composition Outcomes in Adults with #Prediabetes: A Randomized Controlled Study
Effect of Varying Quantities of Lean #Beef as Part of a #Mediterranean‐Style #Dietary Pattern on Gut #Microbiota and Plasma, Fecal, and Urinary Metabolites: A Randomized Crossover Controlled Feeding Trial
Consumption of trimethylamine N‐oxide (TMAO) precursors, such as carnitine found in lean beef, raises circulating TMAO concentrations; however, a healthy dietary pattern may attenuate these effects.MethodsThis randomized, 4‐period crossover, controlled‐feeding study investigated the effects of Mediterranean‐style (MED) diets (carbohydrate 42%, protein 17%, fat 41%) with 14 (MED0.5; 0.5 oz), 71 (MED2.5; 2.5 oz), and 156… Continue reading Effect of Varying Quantities of Lean #Beef as Part of a #Mediterranean‐Style #Dietary Pattern on Gut #Microbiota and Plasma, Fecal, and Urinary Metabolites: A Randomized Crossover Controlled Feeding Trial
#Coffee for the #liver: a mechanistic approach
The liver, which is essential for metabolism and detoxification, is vulnerable to various damaging factors, including viral infections, excessive alcohol consumption, and a diet high in fat and sugar. Coffee, one of the most widely consumed beverages worldwide, is valued not only for its flavor and aroma but also for its potential health benefits. In… Continue reading #Coffee for the #liver: a mechanistic approach
Association Between Pro-Inflammatory Potential of #Diet and Inflammatory Parameters in a Group of Patients with Inflammatory #Bowel Disease
Background: The etiopathogenesis of IBD is not fully known; however, both genetic and environmental risk factors, including diet, are contributors to the disease. The present study aimed to determine the effect of dietary inflammatory potential, assessed using the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII), on disease activity and inflammatory markers, such as IL-6, IL-1β, and IL-10, in… Continue reading Association Between Pro-Inflammatory Potential of #Diet and Inflammatory Parameters in a Group of Patients with Inflammatory #Bowel Disease
Association Between Consumption of Low- and No-Calorie Artificial #Sweeteners and #Cognitive DeclineAn 8-Year Prospective Study
Background and ObjectivesConsumption of low- and no-calorie sweeteners (LNCSs) has been associated with adverse health outcomes. However, little is known about the association between consumption of LNCSs and cognition. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between consumption of LNCSs and cognitive decline.MethodsWe conducted a longitudinal observational study using data from civil… Continue reading Association Between Consumption of Low- and No-Calorie Artificial #Sweeteners and #Cognitive DeclineAn 8-Year Prospective Study
#Meal timing trajectories in #older adults and their associations with #morbidity, genetic profiles, and #mortality
Older adults are vulnerable to mistimed food intake due to health and environmental changes; characterizing meal timing may inform strategies to promote healthy aging. We investigated longitudinal trajectories of self-reported meal timing in older adults and their associations with morbidity, genetic profiles, and all-cause mortality.MethodsWe analyzed data from 2945 community-dwelling older adults from the University… Continue reading #Meal timing trajectories in #older adults and their associations with #morbidity, genetic profiles, and #mortality
Dietary vitamin #K intake associates with reduced all-cause #mortality in non-alcoholic #fatty #liver disease patients
This study aimed to investigate the association between dietary vitamin K intake and all-cause mortality in individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We analyzed data from 7857 NAFLD participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2005–2018) linked to mortality outcomes from the National Death Index (NDI). Dietary vitamin K intake was… Continue reading Dietary vitamin #K intake associates with reduced all-cause #mortality in non-alcoholic #fatty #liver disease patients
