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
Vegetarian Dietary Patterns and Cardiometabolic Risk in People With or at High Risk of Cardiovascular DiseaseA Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
MPORTANCE Plant-based diets are known to improve cardiometabolic risk in the general population, but their effects on people at high risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain inconclusive.OBJECTIVE To assess the association of vegetarian diets with major cardiometabolic risk factors,including low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and body weight in people… Continue reading Vegetarian Dietary Patterns and Cardiometabolic Risk in People With or at High Risk of Cardiovascular DiseaseA Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Vegan and Omnivorous High Protein Diets Support Comparable Daily Myofibrillar Protein Synthesis Rates and Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy in Young Adults
AbstractBackgroundIt remains unclear whether non–animal-derived dietary protein sources (and therefore vegan diets) can support resistance training-induced skeletal muscle remodeling to the same extent as animal-derived protein sources.MethodsIn Phase 1, 16 healthy young adults (m = 8, f = 8; age: 23 ± 1 y; BMI: 23 ± 1 kg/m2) completed a 3-d dietary intervention (high… Continue reading Vegan and Omnivorous High Protein Diets Support Comparable Daily Myofibrillar Protein Synthesis Rates and Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy in Young Adults
The effect of high-polyphenol Mediterranean diet on visceral adiposity: the DIRECT PLUS randomized controlled trial
Mediterranean (MED) diet is a rich source of polyphenols, which benefit adiposity by several mechanisms. We explored the effect of the green-MED diet, twice fortified in dietary polyphenols and lower in red/processed meat, on visceral adipose tissue (VAT).MethodsIn the 18-month Dietary Intervention Randomized Controlled Trial PoLyphenols UnproceSsed (DIRECT-PLUS) weight-loss trial, 294 participants were randomized to… Continue reading The effect of high-polyphenol Mediterranean diet on visceral adiposity: the DIRECT PLUS randomized controlled trial
A dietary intervention for vasomotor symptoms of menopause: a randomized, controlled trial
Objective Postmenopausal vasomotor symptoms disrupt quality of life. This study tested the effects of a dietary intervention on vasomotor symptoms and menopause-related quality of life.Methods Postmenopausal women (n = 84) reporting at least two moderate-to-severe hot flashes daily were randomly assigned, in two successive cohorts, to an intervention including a low-fat, vegan diet and cooked soybeans (½ cup [86… Continue reading A dietary intervention for vasomotor symptoms of menopause: a randomized, controlled trial
Chronic migraine reversal and prevention with the LIFE diet: a nutrient dense whole food plant-based diet (WFPBD)
We report a case of a 60-year-old man who struggled with frequent migraines for 12.5 years, which were refractory to all conventional therapies. Six months before initial consultation, these migraines become chronic. The patient was then advised to follow the Low Inflammatory Foods Everyday (LIFE) diet, a nutrient-dense, dark green leafy vegetable-rich, whole food plant-based… Continue reading Chronic migraine reversal and prevention with the LIFE diet: a nutrient dense whole food plant-based diet (WFPBD)
Cross-sectional associations of schoolchildren’s #fruit and #vegetable consumption, and meal choices, with their mental well-being: a cross-sectional study
Poor mental well-being is a major issue for young people and is likely to have long-term negative consequences. The contribution of nutrition is underexplored. We, therefore, investigated the association between dietary choices and mental well-being among schoolchildren. Methods Data from 7570 secondary school and 1253 primary school children in the Norfolk Children and Young People… Continue reading Cross-sectional associations of schoolchildren’s #fruit and #vegetable consumption, and meal choices, with their mental well-being: a cross-sectional study
#Plant‐Centered Diet and Risk of Incident #Cardiovascular Disease During Young to Middle Adulthood
The association between diets that focus on plant foods and restrict animal products and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is inconclusive. We investigated whether cumulative intake of a plant‐centered diet and shifting toward such a diet are associated with incident CVD. Methods and ResultsParticipants were 4946 adults in the CARDIA (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults)… Continue reading #Plant‐Centered Diet and Risk of Incident #Cardiovascular Disease During Young to Middle Adulthood
