New research shows that fatty foods may not only be adding to your waistline but also playing havoc with your brain.

An international study led by UniSA neuroscientists Professor Xin-Fu Zhou and Associate Professor Larisa Bobrovskaya has established a clear link between mice fed a high-fat diet for 30 weeks, resulting in diabetes, and a subsequent deterioration in their cognitive abilities, including developing anxiety, depression and worsening Alzheimer's disease.

American Heart Association's checklist to measure cardiovascular health is updated, now called Life's Essential 8™, adding healthy sleep as essential for optimal cardiovascular health. Other health and lifestyle factors in the checklist, which were part of the previous, 7-item scoring tool, are nicotine exposure, physical activity, diet, weight, blood glucose, cholesterol and blood pressure. The new sleep metric suggests 7-9 hours of sleep daily for optimal cardiovascular health for adults, and more for children depending on age. CLICK HERE FOR ARTICLE!

Intermittent Fasting: Foods to Eat and Limit

On an intermittent fasting diet, eat fruits and vegetables while limiting sugary and processed snacks.

Intermittent fasting involves cycling between periods of eating and fasting.
Proponents say intermittent fasting is a safe and effective way to lose weight and improve your health. They claim it's easier to adhere to than other diets and offers more flexibility than traditional calorie-restricted diets.

"Intermittent fasting is a means of reducing calories by restricting one's intake for several days each week, and then eating regularly the rest of the days, rather than focusing on permanent caloric restriction," says Lisa Jones, a registered dietitian based in Philadelphia.

It's important to keep in mind that intermittent fasting is a concept, not a specific diet. READ ARTICLE HERE!

Living with dogs (but not cats) as a toddler might protect against Crohn's disease

Young children who grow up with a dog or in a large family may have some protection later in life from a common inflammatory bowel disease known as Crohn's disease, according to a study to be presented at Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) 2022.

"Our study seems to add to others that have explored the 'hygiene hypothesis' which suggests that the lack of exposure to microbes early in life may lead to lack of immune regulation toward environmental microbes," said Williams Turpin, PhD, the study's senior author and a research associate with Mount Sinai Hospital and the University of Toronto.CLICK HERE TO READ ARTICLE!

When it comes to weight loss, many of us have dabbled in the latest diets. But whether you're cutting carbs or keeping to keto, new research from the University of South Australia shows that diet trends can cost more than your waistline and leave a hefty hole in your hip pocket.
In a new study, UniSA researchers have evaluated the affordability of popular diets, comparing them to the recommendations within the Australian Guide to Health Eating (AGHE), and the Mediterranean Diet, finding that costs of cutting your calories can vary by up to $300 per week.
The research shows that the most cost-effective diet was modelled from the AGHE and adapted for weight loss through calorie restriction. This meal plan included all five core food groups and a range of affordable staple items such as breads, pasta, and legumes, as well as lower amounts of animal products. CLICK HERE TO READ ARTICLE!

Researchers identify brain region associated with feeling full after eating

Feeling full, or satiated, after a meal is healthy and normal, but what causes that feeling is complicated and not well understood. New University of Arizona-led research published in the journal Molecular Metabolism has identified a brain region and neural circuitry that mediate satiation, which could help scientists better target drugs to treat eating disorders or manage weight.

Guide to Boosting Your Metabolism

What does it take to keep the lights on in the human body? How does the body power everything from blinking and cell repair to washing dishes and running a marathon? In the simplest terms, all of these activities are powered by calories, which come from the food you eat. Generating that energy from calories happens via a process called metabolism.

“In short, metabolism is a term for all the chemical processes in our body that control our balance of energy,” says Dr. Brian Quebbemann, a bariatric surgery specialist based in Newport Beach, California, and author of "World's Greatest Weight Loss: The Truth That Diet Gurus Don't Want You to Know." When you eat food, your digestive system breaks it down into various components, and those get converted to energy by the body's metabolic process. CLICK HERE TO READ ARTICLE!

Exercise alters brain chemistry to protect aging synapses

When elderly people stay active, their brains have more of a class of proteins that enhances the connections between neurons to maintain healthy cognition, a UC San Francisco study has found.

This protective impact was found even in people whose brains at autopsy were riddled with toxic proteins associated with Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases.

"Our work is the first that uses human data to show that synaptic protein regulation is related to physical activity and may drive the beneficial cognitive outcomes we see," said Kaitlin Casaletto, PhD, an assistant professor of neurology and lead author on the study, which appears in the January 7 issue of Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association.
