Apoorva Singh Leave a Comment on Higher Coffee Intake Prevents Development Of Alzheimer’s Disease: Study

Coffee lovers, there’s good news for you. According to new research, drinking higher amounts of coffee can make you less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease. The findings of this research were published in the ‘Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience Journal’. As part of the Australian Imaging, Biomarkers and Lifestyle Study of Ageing, researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU) investigated whether coffee intake affected the rate of cognitive decline of more than 200 Australians over a decade.

Apoorva Singh Leave a Comment on Gluten-Free Vegan Pizza Recipe

The demand for gluten-free food is on the rise in India and it is all thanks to the intolerance towards gluten, which is a kind of protein that acts as a glue to hold food together. It is found in grains like wheat, rye, and barley, and is used to make popular foods like cake, pizza, cereals, cookies, crackers and of course pizza! The only reason why people are opting for gluten-free foods is because of the growing cases of celiac disease.

Apoorva Singh Leave a Comment on Doctors Suggest Plant-Based Diet Relieves Migraine Symptoms

Doctors have recently suggested that it will be worthwhile to adopt a plant-based diet that is rich in dark green leafy vegetables, for those who are suffering from the symptoms of chronic migraine. This study was published online in the ‘BMJ Case Reports Journal’. The recommendation comes after they treated a man who had endured severe migraine headaches without aura for more than 12 years. He had tried prescribed medicines (Zolmitriptan and Topiramate); cutting out potential ‘trigger’ foods, including chocolate, cheese, nuts, caffeine, and dried fruit; and yoga and meditation in a bid to blunt the severity and frequency of his headaches. Nothing had worked. Over one billion people worldwide have migraines, characterized as one-sided, pulsating headaches lasting 4-72 hours, and often accompanied by sensitivity to noise and light and sometimes prodromal auras. Migraines are either episodic (fewer than 15 days a month) or…

Study Finds How Brain Is Affected By Salt Consumption

Apoorva Singh Leave a Comment on Study Finds How Brain Is Affected By Salt Consumption

New surprising information has been revealed by researchers at Georgia State, in a first-of-its-kind study, about the relationship between neuron activity and blood flow deep in the brain, as well as how the brain is affected by salt consumption. When neurons are activated, it typically produces a rapid increase of blood flow to the area. This relationship is known as neurovascular coupling or functional hyperemia, and it occurs via dilation of blood vessels in the brain called arterioles. Functional magnetic resource imaging (fMRI) is based on the concept of neurovascular coupling: experts look for areas of weak blood flow to diagnose brain disorders. However, previous studies of neurovascular coupling have been limited to superficial areas of the brain (such as the cerebral cortex) and scientists have mostly examined how blood flow changes in response to sensory stimuli coming from the environment (such as visual…

The findings of the study were published in the journal ‘The BMJ’. Higher ALA intake was associated with a slightly higher risk of death from cancer, but the researchers said further studies are needed to confirm this.

Previous studies have shown that a high ALA intake is associated with a lower risk of fatal coronary heart disease, but findings from other studies on ALA and the risk of death have been inconclusive.

The findings of the study were published in the journal ‘Nature Food’. Food Compass is a new nutrient profiling system, developed over three years, that incorporates cutting-edge science on how different characteristics of foods positively or negatively impact health.

Study: Warm Milk At Bedtime Makes You Sleepy

Apoorva Singh Leave a Comment on Study: Warm Milk At Bedtime Makes You Sleepy

According to time-honoured advice, drinking a glass of warm milk at bedtime will encourage a good night’s rest. Here’s why. Milk’s sleep-enhancing properties are commonly ascribed to tryptophan, but scientists have also discovered a mixture of milk peptides, called casein tryptic hydrolysate (CTH), that relieves stress and enhances sleep. Now, researchers reporting in the American Chemical Society’s Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry have identified specific peptides in CTH that might someday be used in new, natural sleep remedies. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one-third of U.S. adults don’t get enough sleep. Sedatives, such as benzodiazepines and zolpidem, are commonly prescribed for insomnia, but they can cause side effects, and people can become addicted to them. Many sedatives work by activating the GABA receptor, a protein in the brain that suppresses nerve signaling. Scientists have also discovered several natural…

Colour-Coded Nutrition Labels, Warnings Linked To Healthier Food Purchases: Study

Apoorva Singh Leave a Comment on Colour-Coded Nutrition Labels, Warnings Linked To Healthier Food Purchases: Study

A new analysis has integrated findings from 134 studies of the impact of colour-coded nutrition labels and warnings found on the front of some food packaging and found that these labels do indeed appear to encourage more healthful purchases. The findings of the study were published in the journal ‘PLOS’. Jing Song of Queen Mary University of London, UK, and colleagues conducted the study. Some countries have introduced mandatory front-of-package labelling in hope of improving people’s diets and reducing the burden of diseases associated with poor diets. These labels may employ colour coding to indicate nutrition, or they may warn consumers about unhealthful features of products. However, studies on the impact of such labelling have produced mixed evidence. To help clarify the impact of front-of-package nutrition labels, Song and colleagues analysed data from 134 peer-reviewed studies published between January 1990 and May 2021. They…

Apoorva Singh Leave a Comment on Study Finds High-Fat Diet Disturbs Body Clock

A new study has found that when rats are fed a high-fat diet, this disturbs the body clock in their brain that normally controls satiety, leading to over-eating and obesity. The findings of the study were published in ‘The Journal of Physiology’. The number of people with obesity has nearly tripled worldwide since 1975. In England alone, 28 per cent of adults are obese and another 36 per cent are overweight.Obesity can lead to several other diseases such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and some types of cancer. This new research may be a cornerstone for future clinical studies that could restore the proper functioning of the body clock in the brain, to avoid overeating. Historically, it was believed that the master body clock was only located in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. However, further research over the years…

Consuming Walnuts Daily Lowers LDL-Cholesterol Levels: Study

Apoorva Singh Leave a Comment on Consuming Walnuts Daily Lowers LDL-Cholesterol Levels: Study

According to a new research, healthy older adults who ate a handful of walnuts (about 1/2 cup) a day for two years modestly lowered their level of low-density lipoprotein or LDL cholesterol levels. Consuming walnuts daily also reduced the number of LDL particles, a predictor of cardiovascular disease risk. The findings of the study were published in the American Heart Association’s flagship journal ‘Circulation’. Walnuts are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acid), which have been shown to have a beneficial effect on cardiovascular health. “Prior studies have shown that nuts in general, and walnuts in particular, are associated with lower rates of heart disease and stroke. One of the reasons is that they lower LDL-cholesterol levels, and now we have another reason: they improve the quality of LDL particles,” said study co-author Emilio Ros, MD, PhD, director of the Lipid Clinic…

Study: Smell Regulates What We Eat And Vice Versa

Apoorva Singh Leave a Comment on Study: Smell Regulates What We Eat And Vice Versa

A new study has shown that just as smell regulates what we eat, what we eat, in turn, regulates our sense of smell. The findings of the study were published in the journal ‘PLOS Biology’. Walking past a corner bakery, you may find yourself drawn in by the fresh smell of sweets wafting from the front door. You’re not alone: The knowledge that humans make decisions based on their nose has led major brands like Cinnabon and Panera Bread to pump the scents of baked goods into their restaurants, leading to big spikes in sales. But according to the new study, the food you ate just before your walk past the bakery may impact your likelihood of stopping in for a sweet treat – and not just because you’re full. Scientists at Northwestern University found that people became less sensitive to food odours based…

Correspondent Leave a Comment on Vitamin K benefits heart health

A new research has found that eating a diet rich in vitamin K can lower the risk of atherosclerosis-related cardiovascular disease (conditions affecting the heart or blood vessels). The findings of the study were published in the ‘Journal of the American Heart Association’. Researchers examined data from more than 50,000 people taking part in the Danish Diet, Cancer, and Health study over a 23-year period. They investigated whether people who ate more foods containing vitamin K had a lower risk of cardiovascular disease-related to atherosclerosis (plaque build-up in the arteries). There are two types of vitamin K found in foods we eat: vitamin K1 comes primarily from green leafy vegetables and vegetable oils while vitamin K2 is found in meat, eggs and fermented foods such as cheese. The study found that people with the highest intakes of vitamin K1 were 21 per cent less…

Adding colour to your plate may lower cognitive decline risk

Correspondent Leave a Comment on Adding colour to your plate may lower cognitive decline risk

Washington [US]: A new study found that people who eat a diet that includes at least half a serving per day of foods high in flavonoids like strawberries, oranges, peppers and apples may have a 20 per cent lower risk of cognitive decline. The findings of the study were published in the online issue of ‘Neurology’, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. The study looked at several types of flavonoids and found that flavones and anthocyanins may have the most protective effect. Flavonoids are naturally occurring compounds found in plants and are considered powerful antioxidants. It is thought that having too few antioxidants may play a role in cognitive decline as you age.“There is mounting evidence suggesting flavonoids are powerhouses when it comes to preventing your thinking skills from declining as you get older,” said study author Walter Willett, MD, DrPH,…
