Abstract Reducing the risk of dementia can halt worldwide increase affected people. The multifactorial and heterogeneous nature late‐onset dementia, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), indicates a potential impact multidomain lifestyle interventions on reduction. positive results landmark Finnish Geriatric Intervention Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment Disability (FINGER) support such an approach. World‐Wide FINGERS (WW‐FINGERS), launched in 2017 over 25 countries, is first global...
Cancer is a serious global public health problem. incidence and mortality have been steadily rising throughout the past century in most places of world. There are several epidemiological evidences that support protective role probiotics against cancer. Lactic acid bacteria their probioactive cellular substances exert many beneficial effects gastrointestinal tract, also release various enzymes into intestinal lumen potential synergistic (LAB) on digestion alleviate symptoms malabsorption....
Objective. Recent reports have suggested that a low glycemic index (GI) diet may role in the management of obesity through its ability to increase satiety value food and modulate appetite. To date, no long-term clinical trials examined effect dietary GI on body weight regulation. The majority evidence comes from single-day studies, most which been conducted adults. purpose this study was investigate 3 test breakfasts—low-GI, low-GI with 10% added sucrose, high-GI—on ad libitum lunch intake,...
This paper describes the development, implementation and evaluation of a school- family-based intervention to prevent obesity in children aged 5–7 years. In addition, efficacy three different programmes was compared. Children years (n = 213) were recruited from primary schools Oxford randomly allocated control group or one groups: nutrition group, physical activity combined group. The setting for interventions lunchtime clubs, where an interactive age-appropriate and/or curriculum delivered....
Background: Improving the carbohydrate quality of diet by replacing common cereal staple white rice (WR) with brown (BR) could have beneficial effects on reducing risk for diabetes and related complications. Hence we aimed to compare BR, WR, BR legumes (BRL) diets 24-h glycemic insulinemic responses among overweight Asian Indians. Subjects Methods: Fifteen (body mass index, ≥23 kg/m2) Indians without who were 25–45 years old participated in a randomized crossover study. Test meals...
Dietary fibre is a generic term describing non-absorbed plant carbohydrates and small amounts of associated non-carbohydrate components. The main contributors to the diet are cell walls tissues, which supramolecular polymer networks containing variable proportions cellulose, hemicelluloses, pectic substances, components, such as lignin. Other intracellular storage oligosaccharides, fructans. A distinction needs be made between intrinsic sources dietary purified forms fibre, given that...
