Background and Objective: Dietary interventions are the first-line treatment for overweight individuals (OW) and individuals with obesity (OB) with high-normal blood pressure (BP) or grade I hypertension, especially when at low-to-moderate cardiovascular risk (CVR). However, current guidelines do not specify the most effective dietary approach for optimising cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes in this population. This… Continue reading Low-Calorie, High-Protein Ketogenic #Diet Versus Low-Calorie, Low-Sodium, and High-Potassium Mediterranean Diet in Overweight Patients and Patients with #Obesity with High-Normal Blood Pressure or Grade I #Hypertension: The Keto–Salt Pilot Study

3-month program of time-restricted #eating at any time of the day supports long-term #weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity
Three months of time-restricted eating (TRE), irrespective of whether it is earlier or later in the day, may be a promising strategy for sustaining long-term weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity, according to preliminary results of a randomised controlled trial being presented at this year’s European Congress on Obesity (ECO) in Malaga, Spain… Continue reading 3-month program of time-restricted #eating at any time of the day supports long-term #weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity
Immune and metabolic effects of African heritage #diets versus Western diets in men: a randomized controlled trial
African heritage diets are increasingly being replaced by Western-style dietary patterns because of urbanization, economic development, increased access to processed foods, globalization and changing social norms. The health consequences of this nutrition transition are not well understood. We conducted a randomized controlled trial in the Kilimanjaro region in Northern Tanzania to investigate the immune and… Continue reading Immune and metabolic effects of African heritage #diets versus Western diets in men: a randomized controlled trial
The Effect of 4:3 Intermittent #Fasting on #Weight Loss at 12 Months: A Randomized Clinical Trial
AbstractBackground:Long-term (≥12 months) randomized trials evaluating the efficacy of intermittent fasting (IMF) as a dietary weight loss strategy are limited. Furthermore, no studies have compared IMF versus daily caloric restriction (DCR) when both interventions are provided in the context of a guidelines-based behavioral weight loss program.Objective:To compare the effects of 4:3 IMF versus DCR on… Continue reading The Effect of 4:3 Intermittent #Fasting on #Weight Loss at 12 Months: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Optimal #dietary patterns for healthy #aging
As the global population ages, it is critical to identify diets that, beyond preventing noncommunicable diseases, optimally promote healthy aging. Here, using longitudinal questionnaire data from the Nurses’ Health Study (1986–2016) and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (1986–2016), we examined the association of long-term adherence to eight dietary patterns and ultraprocessed food consumption with healthy… Continue reading Optimal #dietary patterns for healthy #aging
Association of 15 common dietary factors with #tinnitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies
Objective A systematic analysis was conducted to investigate the association between tinnitus incidence and daily dietary patterns.Design We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.Data sources The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases were searched from their inception to 25 May 2024.Eligibility criteria for selecting studies We included observational studies… Continue reading Association of 15 common dietary factors with #tinnitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies
Suboptimal #dietary patterns are associated with accelerated biological #aging in young adulthood: A study with twins
Background & aimsSuboptimal diets increase morbidity and mortality risk. Epigenetic clocks are algorithms that can assess health and lifespan, even at a young age, before clinical manifestations of diseases. We investigated the association between dietary patterns and biological aging in young adult twins.MethodsThe data were drawn from the population-based FinnTwin12 study and consisted of twins… Continue reading Suboptimal #dietary patterns are associated with accelerated biological #aging in young adulthood: A study with twins
Effect of #broccoli sprout extract and baseline gut microbiota on fasting blood #glucose in #prediabetes: a randomized, placebo-controlled trial
More effective treatments are needed for impaired fasting glucose or glucose intolerance, known as prediabetes. Sulforaphane is an isothiocyanate that reduces hepatic gluconeogenesis in individuals with type 2 diabetes and is well tolerated when provided as a broccoli sprout extract (BSE). Here we report a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in which drug-naive individuals with prediabetes… Continue reading Effect of #broccoli sprout extract and baseline gut microbiota on fasting blood #glucose in #prediabetes: a randomized, placebo-controlled trial
