The Role of Gut Microbiome in Sleep Quality and Health: Dietary Strategies for Microbiota Support

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,…

What Is Nutrigenomics? The Science Of How Food Affects Genes, Explained

The ever-evolving field of nutrition research is pretty exciting—and at the intersection of food, nutrition, and our human genome is the wide spectrum of nutritional genomics research. What is that, you ask? Nutritional genomics research (aka nutrigenomics) explores how the food we eat and other environmental factors directly affect our genes’ functioning—specifically in regards to…

Intermittent fasting and cellular aging

In recent years, studies have been conducted indicating that reducing and spacing meals at well-defined time intervals has cellular aging, cardiovascular, neurological, functional and oncological benefits.   Intermittent fasting   Therefore, intermittent fasting is booming as an alternative dietary approach. This type of nutritional approach aims to establish caloric restriction in food by limiting the…

A compound in cruciferous vegetables could improve fatty liver disease

A new study has shown that indole, a natural compound found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli or cauliflower, could help reduce non-alcoholic-fatty-liver-disease-induced inflammation.     Cruciferous vegetables and Microbiota   The intestinal microbiota and certain cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts or kale, have in their makeup a substance called indole…
