Category: Nutritional Articles Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a popular supplement for promoting weight loss and increasing muscled mass, but its effectiveness remains controversial. CLA may promote muscle protein synthesis by increasing testosterone levels and improving blood sugar regulation. Alex Ribeiro from Londrina State University in Brazil, and co-workers, found that supplementing 3.2 grams per day of CLA for eight weeks during an endurance-training program had no effect on endurance, leg or trunk fat, or total body fat beyond the effects of endurance exercise alone. The study found that CLA has effect on fat loss in obese women. (International Journal Sports Nutrition Exercise Metabolism 26: 135-144, 2016) O.L.S.

Low Levels Of Selenium Linked To Thyroid Disease

Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact X Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact low levels of selenium linked to thyroid disease Category: Nutritional Articles Selenium is an element (Se) found in metal sulphide ores. While large doses of selenium are toxic, trace amounts are important for promoting blood sugar metabolism and synthesizing antioxidants such as glutathione peroxidase and thioredoxin reductase, which help neutralize free radicals produced naturally during metabolism. Chinese researchers found a link between low blood selenium levels and an increased risk of thyroid disease. They examined more than 6,000 people living in two areas of China. People with low blood selenium showed an increased risk of low thyroid output, immune system-linked thyroid disease and enlarged thyroid. Increased selenium intake through foods or supplement might prevent many cases of thyroid disease. Natural food sources of selenium include nuts, cereals and mushrooms. Selenium is included in most multivitamins. (Journal Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 100: 4037-3047, 2015) O.L.S.

Coffee Does Not Lead To High Blood Pressure

Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact X Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact coffee does not lead to high blood pressure Category: Nutritional Articles Physicians have often recommended reducing or eliminating coffee consumption to reduce blood pressure. That’s a mistake – according to a study led by Jinnie Rhee from Stanford University School of Medicine. Researchers found no relationship between consumption of caffeinated coffee, decaffeinated coffee or caffeine hypertension (high blood pressure). They measured systolic and diastolic blood pressure (higher and lower blood pressure numbers) three different times, and compared them with self-reported consumption of these products in postmenopausal women. Coffee promotes longevity, and can improve physical and mental performance. It contains powerful antioxidants that prevent cell deterioration. It might reduce the risk of some cancers and promote blood sugar regulation. Coffee is a healthy addition to the well-balance diet. (American Journal Clinical Nutrition, 103:210-217, 2016) O.L.S.

Which Is Healthier: Farm Or Wild Salmon?

Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact X Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact which is healthier: farm or wild salmon? Category: Nutritional Articles Salmon is a healthy food because it contains omega-3 fatty acids that protect against heart attack and stroke, promote infant brain development and help ease the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, psoriasis and postpartum depression. A public health service group called the Environmental Working Group said that farm-raised salmon fillets sampled in three major cities contained unsafe levels of chemicals called PCBs that make their consumption dangerous –particularly in pregnant women. The PCB levels are above those recommended by the United States Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), but within those set by U.S. Food and Drug Administration(FDA). Healthy fish choices high in omega-3s include wild salmon, sardines, herring and mackerel. Fish high in mercury, another dangerous contaminant, include albacore tuna, swordfish, shark, red snapper and halibut. In late 2015, the FDA approved genetically engineered farmed salmon and will not require specific source labels. (ConsumerLab.com, January 3, 2016) O.L.S.

Home About Online Personalized Coaching Articles Contact X Home About Online Personalized Coaching Articles Contact Home About Online Personalized Coaching Articles Contact beetroot juice improves blood vessel health Category: Nutritional Articles Foods high in nitrates, such as beetroot juice, stimulate the inner lining of blood vessels to secrete nitric oxide, a chemical that controls blood flow. Beetroot juice has positive effects on blood pressure, sexual performance and endurance exercise capacity. Beetroot juice has cardiovascular benefits in patients with high cholesterol –according to a six-week study led by Shanti Velmurugan from the William Harvey Research Institute in London, U.K. Subjects receiving beetroot juice showed a 24% improvement in blood vessel performance (flow-mediated dilatation). Beetroot juice is a heart-healthy food that improves blood vessel health. (American Journal Clinical Nutrition, 103: 25-38, 2016) O.L.S.

Anthropologists Question: The Validity Of The Palaeolithic Diet

Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact X Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact anthropologists question: the validity of the palaeolithic diet Category: Nutritional Articles The paleo diet emphasizes foods that were available during the stone age, or Palaeolithic period, before the advent of agriculture and farming. The reasoning is that human genes evolved over millions of years to reflect the hunter-gatherer lifestyle. The Paleo Diet tries to avoid foods such as dairy, grains, legumes, processed oils and refined sugar that were unavailable to cave men. Anthropologists Ken Sayers and Owen Lovejoy concluded that the elements of the Paleo Diet are almost impossible to determine. Cave people ate whatever was available, and no specific food group was universally important. The average life span of Palaeolithic people was 25 years, but some lived to be older. Nutrition was based on survival and reproduction, so genetic adaptations were not necessarily aimed at extreme longevity. Also, modern fruits and vegetables have been selected over time to promote desirable properties that are much different from those available during Palaeolithic times. Many diseases linked to poor nutrition occur because we are living so much longer. It’s difficult to say whether consuming a simulated Palaeolithic diet – whatever that is – is any healthier.

Green Tea Extract: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly

Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact X Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact green tea extract: the good, the bad and the ugly Category: Nutritional Articles Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a polyphenol found in green tea extract that enhances the action of insulin, improves blood vessel health, lowers blood pressure and promotes weight loss. However, a study on mice from Penn State University found that EGCG was toxic to the liver, but pre-treatment with the same supplement reduced its poisonous effect. Bodybuilders and weightlifters should be extremely careful about taking supplements that affect individual performance or physiological variables. While they might have some beneficial effects, they could also have serious effects. (Food and Chemical Toxicology, 76: 103-108, 2015) O.L.S.

Whole Grains Linked To Fewer Heart Disease Deaths

Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact X Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact whole grains linked to fewer heart disease deaths Category: Nutritional Articles Eating more whole grains is associated with increased longevity and a lower death rate from cardiovascular disease, according to a study of more than 110,000 people led by Hongyu Wu from the Harvard University school of Public Health. Death rates from cancers were not altered by whole grain consumption. Consuming whole grains may reduce the risk of premature death by 15%. The study confirms the recommendations of national dietary guidelines that people consume more whole grains in their diet. The study examined data from the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up study. They factored out the effects of age, body composition, physical activity and overall diet. The study examined data and death rates over a 25-year period. (JAMA Internal Medicine, published online January 6, 2015) O.L.S.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids In Fish Oil Prevent Cell Aging

Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact X Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil prevent cell aging Category: Nutritional Articles Consuming oily fish or fish oil supplements increase blood levels of omega-3, and shifts the fat balance toward omega-3s and away from omega-6 fatty acids. A study from Tufts University found that omega-3s prevented telomere shortening in the cells, which promotes cell longevity. Telomeres form the ends of the DNA strands and hold the strands together. The sizes of the telomeres are reduced during cell division, which shortens them over time. Eventually, Janice Kiecolt-Glaser from Ohio State University, and co-workers, in a study on overweight middle-aged and older adults, found that supplementing omega-3 fatty acids improved balance between omega-3s and omega-6 fatty acids, but did not affect telomere length. Past studies showed that more prolonged exposure to omega-3 preserved telomere length, so their findings suggest that omega-3 fatty acid supplements could improve cell health and longevity.
