Published Poor work performance among Japanese employees strongly associated with insufficient sleep
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source This study examined the association between work performance and lifestyle habits among Japanese employees. The results revealed that insufficient sleep was the predominant factor affecting work performance in men and women, followed by lack of regular exercise and eating late-evening meals. Furthermore, the study indicated that men were more likely to exhibit lifestyle habits that impacted work performance than women.
Published Feeding dogs raw meat increases the risk of antibiotic-resistant E. coli
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Feeding dogs raw (uncooked) meat increases their risk of excreting E. coli that cannot be killed by a widely used antibiotic -- ciprofloxacin -- researchers have found from a study of 600 healthy pet dogs.
Published Comprehensive guideline on using biomarkers for monitoring Crohn's disease
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source New AGA guideline outlines reliable blood and stool tests to monitor inflammation that can reduce how often patients need invasive endoscopy.
Published Following a Mediterranean diet reduces the risk of cognitive decline in older people
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Old people who follow a Mediterranean diet are at a lower risk of cognitive decline, according to a new study. The study provides new evidence for a better understanding of the biological mechanisms related to the impact of the diet on cognitive health in the aging population.
Published People with obesity burn less energy during day
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A study found people who have a healthy weight use more energy during the day, when most people are active and eat, while those who have obesity spend more energy during the night, when most people sleep. Researchers also found that, during the day, those with obesity have higher levels of the hormone insulin -- a sign that the body is working harder to use glucose, an energy-packed sugar.
Published Peer educators play key role in new recipe development and testing
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Cooking and recipe demonstrations encourage healthy eating and adoption of unfamiliar foods by class participants.
Published Allergic responses to common foods could significantly increase risk of heart disease, cardiovascular death
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Allergic responses to common foods such as dairy and peanuts can increase the risk for heart disease and cardiovascular death as much or more than smoking, new research suggests. And these dangerous allergic responses can strike both people with food allergies and those with no obvious allergy symptoms.
Published Early life exposure to broccoli sprouts protects against colitis in inflammatory bowel disease
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source High fiber diets, like those that include broccoli sprouts or other cruciferous vegetables, may reduce disease symptoms and improve quality of life in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Published Body changes up to eight years before inflammatory bowel disease diagnosis
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have shown that changes can be detected in blood tests up to eight years before a diagnosis of Crohn's disease and up to three years before a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis.
Published Practicing mindfulness can help people make heart-healthy eating choices
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A study found that participants in a mindfulness-based blood pressure reduction program improved health behaviors that lower blood pressure. When people who had elevated blood pressure participated in an eight-week mindfulness-based blood pressure reduction program, they significantly improved their scores on measures of self-awareness and adherence to a heart-healthy diet compared to a control group.
Published Risk of serious infection even in low-active IBD
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an independent risk factor for serious infection, even at very low levels of gastrointestinal inflammation.
Published A promising target to fight inflammatory bowel diseases
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, arise when there is a dysregulation of cell signalling pathways, leading to a chronic inflammatory response. The gut inflammatory response relies on a chain reaction involving several molecules, including RIPK2 -- known to be a good target for inhibitors treating IBDs. Researchers from the Cusack group at EMBL Grenoble have provided new insights into the interactions between RIPK2 and XIAP, another molecule involved in the inflammatory response, during the downstream chain reaction. These results, when taken together with previous structural biology studies on RIPK2, offer valuable information for the development of therapeutics to treat inflammatory bowel diseases.
Published Fungi used in food production could lead to new probiotics
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source According to a new study, 2 fungi used to produce food products have potential probiotic effects on gut inflammation.
Published Study shows simple diet swaps can cut carbon emissions and improve your health
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Making one small diet change -- chicken instead of beef, plant milk instead of cow's milk -- could significantly curb carbon emissions and increase the healthfulness of your diet, according to a new study.
Published Strength training may reduce health risks of a high-protein diet
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Progressive strength training using resistance can protect against the detrimental effects of a high-protein diet, according to new research in mice.
Published Scientists says identifying some foods as addictive could shift attitudes, stimulate research
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Scientists have published an analysis with a timely and controversial recommendation: It's time for an international shift in the way we think about ultra-processed food and its addictive properties.
Published Discrimination alters brain-gut 'crosstalk,' prompting poor food choices and increased health risks
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source People frequently exposed to racial or ethnic discrimination may be more susceptible to obesity and related health risks in part because of a stress response that changes biological processes and how we process food cues, according to new research.
Published How parents' work stress affects family mealtimes and children's development
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Family mealtimes are important for parents and children as a space to communicate, socialize, and build attachment relationships. But it can be difficult for busy parents to balance family and work life. A new study explores how parents job stress influences their attendance at family mealtimes, and in turn, children's socioemotional development.
Published Risk of premature birth from smoking while pregnant more than double previous estimates
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have found that women who smoke during pregnancy are 2.6 times more likely to give birth prematurely compared to non-smokers -- more than double the previous estimate. The study also found that smoking meant that the baby was four times more likely to be small for its gestational age, putting it at risk of potentially serious complications including breathing difficulties and infections.
Published Inflammatory bowel disease linked to atopic dermatitis
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Adults with atopic dermatitis (AD) have a 34 percent increased risk of developing new-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) compared with individuals who do not have the skin condition, and children have a 44 percent increased risk, according to a new study.
