Published Improved nutrition, sanitation linked to beneficial changes in child stress and epigenetic programming
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A new study provides some of the clearest and most comprehensive evidence to date on what is known about stress physiology and 'epigenetic programming.'
Published New study challenges one-size-fits-all approach to vitamin D supplementation guidelines
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A new study sheds light on the complexities of achieving optimal vitamin D status across diverse populations. Despite substantial research on the determinants of vitamin D, levels of vitamin D deficiency remain high. Researchers believe their findings have significant implications for the development of tailored recommendations for vitamin D supplementation.
Published Dietary changes may treat pulmonary hypertension
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Blood vessels in the lungs aren't like the others in the body. This difference becomes clear in pulmonary hypertension, in which only the lungs' blood vessels stiffen progressively, leading to chronic lung disease, heart failure and death. The underlying reasons for this organ-specific vessel stiffening remained a mystery until researchers made a surprising discovery about these blood vessel cells in patients with pulmonary hypertension -- they're hungry.
Published Time-restricted eating and high-intensity exercise might work together to improve health
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Combining time-restricted eating with high-intensity functional training may improve body composition and cardiometabolic parameters more than either alone, according to new research.
Published Researchers identify causal genetic variant linked to common childhood obesity
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have identified a causal genetic variant strongly associated with childhood obesity. The study provides new insight into the importance of the hypothalamus of the brain and its role in common childhood obesity and the target gene may serve as a druggable target for future therapeutic interventions.
Published Nutrient research reveals pathway for treating brain disorders
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source The team discovered that an essential nutrient called choline is transported into the brain, across the blood-brain barrier, by a protein transporter called FLVCR2. This is discovery will inform future design of drugs for diseases such as Alzheimer's and stroke, mimicking choline so they can be smuggled into the brain.
Published An omega-6 fatty acid may reduce the risk for bipolar disorder
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A genetic propensity to higher circulating levels of lipids containing arachidonic acid, an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid found in eggs, poultry, and seafood, has been found to be linked with a lower risk for bipolar disorder. This new evidence paves the way for potential lifestyle or dietary interventions.
Published Childcare pick-up: A 1-hour window to build healthier eating habits
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source After-care food and drink accounted for about 22% of the day's added sugar and about one-third of the sweet and salty snack foods the children ate, according to a new study.
Published Cranberry extracts could boost microbiota and counter cardiometabolic diseases
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Cranberry extracts appear to improve intestinal microbiota and help prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The study reported beneficial effects after only four days of use.
Published Breakthrough in brown fat research: Researchers have found brown fat's 'off-switch'
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have found a protein that is responsible for turning off brown fat activity. This new discovery could lead to a promising strategy for safely activating brown fat and tackling obesity and related health problems.
Published Component of keto diet plus immunotherapy may reduce prostate cancer
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Adding a pre-ketone supplement -- a component of a high-fat, low-carb ketogenic diet -- to a type of cancer therapy in a laboratory setting was highly effective for treating prostate cancer, researchers found.
Published Vitamin D alters mouse gut bacteria to give better cancer immunity
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have found that vitamin D encourages the growth of a type of gut bacteria in mice which improves immunity to cancer.
Published Use of acid reflux drugs linked to higher risk of migraine
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source People who take acid-reducing drugs may have a higher risk of migraine and other severe headache than people who do not take these medications, according to a new study. The acid-reducing drugs include proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole and esomeprazole, histamine H2-receptor antagonists, or H2 blockers, such as cimetidine and famotidine, and antacid supplements.
Published Neurons spoil your appetite
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A brain circuit inhibits food intake during nausea.
Published New research shows 'profound' link between dietary choices and brain health
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source New research has highlighted the profound link between dietary choices and brain health.
Published Social media can be used to increase fruit and vegetable intake in young people
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have found that people following healthy eating accounts on social media for as little as two weeks ate more fruit and vegetables and less junk food.
Published 3 in 5 parents play short order cook for young children who don't like family meal
