  •  
    Despite evidence that non-smoking, normal BMI, regular exercise, high fruit/vegetable intake and low/moderate alcohol intake, less than 1% of men change lifestyle.  Translation:  many don't want health even when presented with evidence of its benefits and the means to achieve it.   This study found a decrease in cognitive decline in individuals undergoing these lifestyle changes.

Metabolic Effects of Dietary Fiber Consumption and Prevention of Diabetes - 0 views

  • DF are highly complex substances that can be described as any nondigestible carbohydrates and lignins not degraded in the upper gut
  • Commonly, DF are classified according to their solubility in water, even though grading according to viscosity, gel-forming capabilities, or fermentation rate by the gut microbiota might be physiologically more relevant
  • Main sources of soluble DF are fruits and vegetables
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • n increased intake of total DF was inversely associated with markers of insulin resistance in several studies
  • consumption of insoluble DF increased whole body glucose disposal independent of changes in body weight in both short-term and more prolonged studies
  • Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) such as acetate, propionate, and butyrate are produced by bacterial fermentation of indigestible DF polysaccharides in the colon
  • increased production of SCFA is assumed to be beneficial by reducing hepatic glucose output and improving lipid homeostasis
  • a high DF diet (oligofructose) reduced gram-negative bacterial content and body weight, whereas a high fat diet increased the proportion of a gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) containing microbiota in humans
  • Prospective cohort studies indicate that diets high in insoluble cereal DF and whole grains might reduce diabetes risk
  • soluble DF (i.e., pectin, inulin, and β-glucans)
  • cereal DF (i.e., cellulose and hemicelluloses)

Dietary Fiber - 0 views

  • decreased risk of coronary heart disease with dietary fiber consumption
  • Good sources of dietary fiber include whole grains, legumes, vegetables, nuts and seeds, and fruits
  • most experts recommend that fiber should be obtained through the consumption of foods, because this form allows consumption of many micronutrients and bioactive compounds contained in high-fiber foods, which provide their own nutritional benefits.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • increase in the consumption of foods containing fiber to reduce obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers.
  • One of the products of fermentation, butyrate, is able to regulate gene transcription through its actions as a histone deacetylase inhibitor, which affects cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis of colon cells

Plant-Based Nutritional Supplementation Attenuates LPS-Induced Low-Grade Systemic Activ... - 0 views

  • consumption of this particular diet for at least a 2-month period helped to reduce the outcomes of both acute and chronic inflammation induced by LPS.
  • chronic inflammation compromised both glucose and insulin tolerance, which is normally seen in certain chronic metabolic diseases
  • LPS resulted in an increase in neopterin levels, which is a marker for immune system activation
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • diet enriched in fruits and vegetables (and consequently phytochemicals) was able to reverse the process and maintain and even elevate insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance
  • LPS-mediated effects are related to an increase in TLR4 levels that triggers the activation of nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB), a transcription factor that activates a cascade of inflammatory mediators [41]. These factors control the transcription of inflammatory mediators, such as IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, TNF-β, INF-α, INFβ, INF-γ
  • Inflammation can alter insulin action and give rise to diabetes and obesity by blocking insulin receptor downstream events, impairing insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) activation and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent (PI3K) pathways, therefore compromising insulin signaling
  • systemic inflammation (generated by LPS) also increased neopterin levels in the urine and resulted in altered neuronal activity by decreasing dopamine (DA) metabolism
  • an increase in neopterin levels has been recognized a sensitive biomarker for immune system activation
  • Our experiments denoted that these diets were able to diminish inflammatory mediators and oxidative damage
