Coffee, one of the most consumed beverages in the world, not only awakens our senses, but also has a positive impact on our gut health. A recent study has shown that coffee consumption can influence the gut microbiome, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria. This study has revealed a surprising connection between coffee consumption…
Highlights Prebiotic intake improved and changed immunologic indicators and intestinal microbiota structure in colorectal patients in the perioperative period. Prebiotics increased the abundance of some commensal microbiota containing opportunistic pathogens in CRC patients. Surgical stress decreased the abundance of most intestinal microbiota in the intestinal tract but increased the abundance of some opportunistic pathogens and commensals microbiota. Bacteroides is a relevant bacteria for further research…
Researchers have discovered that an active compound in this food could relieve muscle discomfort and improve recovery. This is how its properties can be used. After a workout, the body enters a recovery phase in which repairing muscle tissue and replenishing energy is essential. There are various nutritional strategies that promote this…
Dietary Beliefs and Their Association with Overweight and Obesity in the Spanish Child Population Abstract Background/Objectives: Childhood obesity is a multifactorial chronic disease that represents one of the main preventable causes of morbidity and mortality. This study analyzes how nutritional beliefs influence eating habits and the prevalence of overweight and obesity in Spanish children…
Research in the field of nutrition plays a fundamental role as it allows us to study and expand our knowledge of the effect that nutrition has on digestive health, the quality of life of people in their later years and on environmental health. The future of nutrition revolves around these three fundamental pillars: the…
A committee of experts proposes rethinking the concept of obesity: “We need a radical change” The commission asks not to always classify it as a disease, to banish the BMI as the only criterion and to differentiate between clinical and preclinical obesity Obesity is a disease of the future that is being analysed…
Researchers at a prestigious medical school in New York have discovered that certain characteristics of a cell indicate its lifespan and present solutions that promote cellular rejuvenation. Advances in research are becoming more and more notable, and as time goes by, specialization, machinery and scientists themselves have taken a step forward, as is the…
Abstract Obesity is a multifactorial disease resulting in excessive accumulation of adipose tissue. Over the last decade, growing evidence has identified the gut microbiota as a potential factor in the pathophysiology of both obesity and the related metabolic disorders. The gut microbiota is known to protect gastrointestinal mucosa permeability and to regulate the fermentation…
There are more and more functional foods in supermarkets that can provide an added benefit, but there is also more and more knowledge about everything that foods can provide from within. This is the case of exosomes, discovered relatively recently in foods and whose isolation can bring health benefits. But what are exosomes?…
Abstract Reducing body weight to improve metabolic health and related comorbidities is a primary goal in treating obesity1,2. However, maintaining weight loss is a considerable challenge, especially as the body seems to retain an obesogenic memory that defends against body weight changes 3,4. Overcoming this barrier for long-term treatment success is difficult because the molecular…
Abstract Dietary components, including dietary fiber, unsaturated fatty acids, and polyphenols, along with meal timing and spacing, significantly affect the microbiota’s capacity to produce various metabolites essential for quality sleep and overall health. This review explores the role of gut microbiota in regulating sleep through various metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids, tryptophan, serotonin,…
Effect of Methylfolate, Pyridoxal-5′-Phosphate, and Methylcobalamin (SolowaysTM) Supplementation on Homocysteine and Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels in Patients with Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase, Methionine Synthase, and Methionine Synthase Reductase Polymorphisms: A Randomized Controlled Trial Abstract Exploring the link between genetic polymorphisms in folate metabolism genes (MTHFR, MTR, and MTRR) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), this study evaluates…
