People in the United States and England who have multiple cardiometabolic conditions such as diabetes and high systolic blood pressure are more likely to develop dementia than their peers who are relatively healthy, according to new research from the University…
Previous studies have described the importance of analyzing dietary patterns, rather than analyzing the nutritional content of individual food products, to better understand overall dietary quality, promote better health status, and ultimately mitigate disease risk. A recent Clinical Nutrition study identifies blood…
A study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition describes that fructose intake from sugar-sweetened beverages can cause cardiometabolic disorders. In contrast, fructose from fruits was found to be good for cardiometabolic health. Study: Fructose consumption from different food…
Researchers know that a higher dietary inflammatory index (DII) is linked to an increased risk of inflammation, cardiovascular disease, and therefore, mortality. Would a Mediterranean diet help? A new study sought to answer this question through a randomized trial comparing the habitual diet…
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is projected to continue rising and one in three Singaporeans currently has a risk of developing diabetes in their lifetime. Several early-life cardiometabolic complications make identifying high-risk populations and application of diabetes preventive strategies…
Healthy diets are rich in antioxidants like amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin C, but exactly how beneficial these micronutrients are for cardiovascular health has long been controversial. Now a new meta-analysis published in the Journal of the American…
Although a high intake of whole grain foods reduces the risk of cardiometabolic diseases, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancers, the underlying mechanism behind this occurrence is unclear. Whole grain foods tend to be healthier due to…
In a recent Nutrition Reviews journal study, researchers from the University of Toronto performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of previous controlled trials to better understand the impact of honey on mitigating certain cardiometabolic risk factors. Study: Effect of honey on…
Researchers at the University of Toronto have found that honey improves key measures of cardiometabolic health, including blood sugar and cholesterol levels -; especially if the honey is raw and from a single floral source. The researchers conducted a systematic…
A new Diabetologia journal study discusses the associations of breaks in sedentary time and timing of physical activity with insulin resistance and liver fat content among a middle-aged population. Study: Timing of physical activity in relation to liver fat content…
