Can #carbonated water support weight loss?
Background Carbonated water has been reported to induce satiety, gastric motility and lower serum glucose concentrations, but the mechanisms remain unclear.Methods This report explores the physiological effects of carbonated water, referencing a study published in 2004 on the mechanisms of hypoglycaemia induced by haemodialysis.Results Upon consumption of carbonated water, carbon dioxide (CO2) is absorbed into… Continue reading Can #carbonated water support weight loss?
Gut #microbiome signatures of vegan, vegetarian and omnivore diets and associated health outcomes across 21,561 individuals
As plant-based diets gain traction, interest in their impacts on the gut microbiome is growing. However, little is known about diet-pattern-specific metagenomic profiles across populations. Here we considered 21,561 individuals spanning 5 independent, multinational, human cohorts to map how differences in diet pattern (omnivore, vegetarian and vegan) are reflected in gut microbiomes. Microbial profiles distinguished… Continue reading Gut #microbiome signatures of vegan, vegetarian and omnivore diets and associated health outcomes across 21,561 individuals
#Green tea consumption and #cerebral white matter lesions in community-dwelling older adults without dementia
This study investigated the association between green tea or coffee consumption with cerebral white matter lesions and hippocampal and total brain volumes among 8766 community-dwelling participants recruited from the Japan Prospective Studies Collaboration for Aging and Dementia between 2016 and 2018. A Food Frequency Questionnaire was used to assess green tea and coffee consumption, whereas… Continue reading #Green tea consumption and #cerebral white matter lesions in community-dwelling older adults without dementia
Comparison between two divergent diets, #Mediterranean and #Western, on #gut #microbiota and cognitive function in young sprague dawley rats
Clinical studies strongly suggest the importance of diet quality on cognition in youth populations (15–24 years). The Mediterranean diet (MeDi) has been shown to improve cognition in contrast to the commonly consumed Western diet (WD). The gut microbiota may serve as a mechanism for diet-induced changes in cognition. Ten-week-old male Sprague Dawley rats were assigned a… Continue reading Comparison between two divergent diets, #Mediterranean and #Western, on #gut #microbiota and cognitive function in young sprague dawley rats
Coffee drinking timing and mortality in US adults
Background and Aims To identify the patterns of coffee drinking timing in the US population and evaluate their associations with all-cause and cause-specific mortality.Methods This study included 40 725 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999–2018 who had complete information on dietary data and 1463 adults from the Women’s and Men’s Lifestyle… Continue reading Coffee drinking timing and mortality in US adults
Burdens of type 2 #diabetes and #cardiovascular disease attributable to sugar-sweetened beverages in 184 countries
The consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) is associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, an updated and comprehensive assessment of the global burden attributable to SSBs remains scarce. Here we estimated SSB-attributable T2D and CVD burdens across 184 countries in 1990 and 2020 globally, regionally and nationally, incorporating data from the… Continue reading Burdens of type 2 #diabetes and #cardiovascular disease attributable to sugar-sweetened beverages in 184 countries
Late #eating is associated with poor #glucose tolerance, independent of body weight, fat mass, energy intake and diet composition in prediabetes or early onset type 2 #diabetes
This study investigates the impact of habitual late calorie intake on glucose metabolism in adults with overweight or obesity and diet or metformin-controlled prediabetes or type 2 diabetes independently of body weight, fat mass, energy intake or diet composition. Participants (n = 26) were classified as Later Eaters (LE) if ≥45% daily calories were consumed after 5 pm… Continue reading Late #eating is associated with poor #glucose tolerance, independent of body weight, fat mass, energy intake and diet composition in prediabetes or early onset type 2 #diabetes
#Breakfast energy intake and dietary quality and trajectories of #cardiometabolic risk factors in older adults
Highlights•Eating 20−30% of daily energy in breakfast links to less adiposity in older adults.•It is also related to less triglycerides and more HDL cholesterol (HDL-C).•A high-quality breakfast is linked to better adiposity, HDL-C, and kidney function.•Healthy breakfast habits relate to healthy aging by improving heart risk factors. ObjectivesNot skipping breakfast is associated with a better… Continue reading #Breakfast energy intake and dietary quality and trajectories of #cardiometabolic risk factors in older adults
