How big your waist is can tell you something about your risk for
cardiovascular disease, the bigger the waist, the more of a risk.<br />
<br />
Most people would also prefer to have a slim look.<br />
<br />
Why do some people have a big waist? Is it just because they eat too
much of the wrong food, or could there be another reason as well?<br />
<br />
When researchers assessed intestinal permeability in normal to
overweight women, they found something interesting(Gummesson A, et al,
2011).<br />
<br />
Intestinal permeability is an assessment of how big particles the
intestinal lining will let through and allow to be absorbed into the
blood.<br />
<br />
The researchers found that the women with a bigger waist also had
increased intestinal permeability. They also found that visceral fat
and liver fat were also increased with increased intestinal
permeability.<br />
<br />
If you want to keep a slim waist and stay healthy it is important to keep your gastrointestinal tract healthy.<br />
There are several things you can do to improve your gastrointestinal
function. I will write more about that later, but an easy thing you
can do is to take a probiotic formula which there are many. Use one
which is based on scientific evidence verifying the benefits.<br />
<br />
<strong>The probiotic yeast Saccharomyces boulardii has shown to
exert an anti-inflammatory effect on intestinal epithelial cells
(Sougioultzis S, et al. 2006). Saccharomyces has shown to significantly
reduce the frequency and duration of acute diarrhea in children
(Billoo AG, et al. 2006. Kurugol Z, et al. 2005). There is evidence
that Saccharomyces reduces the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea
in children (Kotowska M, et al. 2005).</strong><br />

Avocados contain a lot of fat, including a certain type of fat
called monounsaturated fatty acids, which are beneficial. How
beneficial are they?<br />
<br />
The reviewed research compared a low fat diet (24% fat) with two
moderate fat diets (34% fat) (Wang L, et al. 2015). The difference
between the two moderate fat diets was that one included one fresh Haas
avocado a day, while the other one included high oleic acid canola oil
to match the fatty acid content of one avocado.<br />
All of the diets provided similar foods except there was more whole
grain bread in the low fat diet to make up for the calorie difference
between the two moderate fat diets.<br />
<br />
This was a randomized, crossover, controlled trial which means that
the same participants ate all the diets, but at different times with a
washout period in between.<br />
<br />
The 45 participant were overweight or obese and ate each diet for 5 weeks.<br />
<br />
They were tested for several cardio-metabolic risk factors and the results were very interesting.<br />
<strong>The diet which included an avocado a day provided additional
lowering of LDL-cholesterol, LDL-P (LDL-particle number) and
non-HDL-cholesterol compared with the other two diets.</strong> LDL-P
is considered to be a more accurate assessment of cardiovascular risk.
The amount of the small LDL-cholesterol particles should not be too
high.<br />
<br />
<strong>It was also interesting that the other moderate-fat diet
provided more benefits than the low fat diet which included more whole
grains.</strong> So much for the goodness of whole grains.<br />
<br />
It is also worth noticing that in the two moderate fat diets, 6-7%
of energy from saturated fat was replaced by mono unsaturated fatty
acids and in the low fat diet 6-7 percent of the saturated fat was
replaced by grains.<br />

It is well accepted that stress can make us more susceptible to disease.<br />
<br />
The participants in the reviewed study were 404 adults who were
exposed to a virus that causes a common cold(Cohen S,et al. 2014). They
were monitored in quarantine to assess infection and signs of illness.<br />
<br />
<strong>It was found that perceived support protected against the risk of infection.</strong><br />
<strong>What was very interesting was that more frequent hugs also resulted in less severe signs of illness.</strong><br />
<br />
Maybe we should not worry about getting sick from being touched. We
may, instead, run more of a risk of getting sick if we don't get
touched.<br />
<br />
Hugs sounds like a nice prescription.<br />

You don't have to have diabetes to benefit from better blood sugar control.<br />
<br />
The reviewed research showed that sometimes it doesn't have to be very difficult(Parham M, et al. 2014).<br />
The participants of this study had type 2 diabetes. One group was
given 25g of pistachio nuts as snacks twice a day for 12 weeks while
the other group was given a control meal without nuts.<br />
<br />
After 12 weeks the groups were switched so the group that got the test meal now received the nuts.<br />
<strong>The pistachio nuts reduced fasting blood glucose, HbA1c (a
measurement of long term glucose control), blood pressure, BMI (body
mass index) and CRP an inflammatory marker.</strong><br />
<br />
All this from just eating some nuts.<br />

Remember the research stating that the number of deaths reduced from
walking 20 minutes a day could theoretically be doubled with an
approach that also avoided a high body mass index (BMI) or a high waist
circumference?<br />
<br />
A Canadian study supports this where the researchers concluded that
physical inactivity and a high waist circumference have a significant
independent risk of premature mortality among women (Katzmarzyk PT,
Craig CL, 2006).<br />
<br />
The participants of this study were all women, but other research has shown that this also works for men.<br />
What if you could implement an activity more effective than walking?<br />
<br />
What about an activity were you only spent 3 minutes of actual exercise
time, 3 times a week, and the research had shown that this decreased
the fat percentage by 8 percent and decreased waist circumference by
3.5 percent in 6 weeks (Hazell TJ, et al. 2014).<br />
<br />
The participants in this study were women, and they ran all-out
sprints on a self-propelled treadmill for 30 seconds, then rested for 4
minutes. They repeated this 4-6 to times 3 times a week. You don't have
to run on a treadmill, you can run outdoors, that's even easier.<br />

In the referenced study the researchers investigated if curcumin, an
ingredient of the spice turmeric, would have an effect on cognitive
function(Cox KH, et Al. 2014).<br />
<br />
The participants were healthy adults between the age of 60 and 85 years, and the research was double blinded.<br />
<br />
A special formulation of curcumin was used since regular curcumin is very poorly absorbed.<br />
<br />
It was found that one hour after taking this curcumin the
participants significantly improved performance on sustained attention
and working memory tasks compared with the placebo. <strong>Taking it
every day for four weeks resulted in a significantly better working
memory and mood. It also reduced total cholesterol and LDL
cholesterol.</strong><br />
<br />
I have found that another special formulation of curcumin has
reduced hs-CRP, an inflammatory marker. Curcumin is also known to be a
good antioxidant.<br />

People with metabolic syndrome have a cluster of symptoms. They are
usually insulin resistant, they usually have high blood pressure and
also high cholesterol and triglycerides.<br />
<br />
The reviewed research included a total of 24,473 individuals and
6,311 cases of metabolic syndrome(Dibaba DT et al. 2014). The
participants with the highest dietary intake of Magnesium were compared
with the ones with the lowest intake.<br />
<br />
<strong>The results showed that for every 100 mg per day increment
in magnesium intake the overall risk of having metabolic syndrome was
lowered by 17 percent.</strong><br />
<br />
Magnesium is a very important mineral, but all minerals should be
taken together with other minerals since they affect each other. For
example, magnesium regulates intra and extra cellular calcium levels,
and if you only take zinc, you will lose copper.<br />
<br />
The most common form of magnesium is magnesium oxide which is very poorly absorbed and irritates the gastrointestinal tract.<br />
<br />
Magnesium in the form of an amino acid chelate does not have that
effect and is also much better absorbed and is a better choice.<br />

The reviewed research first mapped out the precise brain location for age-related dysfunction using functional MRI.<br />
<br />
The researchers then had 50-69 year old participants either consume a
high or a low cocoa flavanol diet for 3 months(Brickman AM,et al.
2014).<br />
<br />
<strong>The results showed that a high flavanol diet was found to
enhance dentate gurus function, that is the function related to memory
dysfunction, when measured with functional MRI and cognitive testing.</strong><br />
<br />
To increase your cocoa flavanol intake you can either eat some dark
chocolate with a high flavanol content or drink some cocoa. Dark
chocolate and cocoa are bitter; for that reason sugar is added of
course, so be sure to watch your sugar levels with chocolate. The more
bitter you can handle the better.<br />

If you want a quick healthy snack, then pistachio nuts would be a good choice.<br />
<br />
The reviewed research had diabetic patients either assigned to a
group receiving 25 g of pistachio nuts twice a day as a snack or a
control meal without nuts(Parham M, et al. 2014).<br />
<br />
After 12 weeks the participants had a washout period of 8 weeks before the groups were switched.<br />
<br />
<strong>The results showed that eating pistachios decreased HbA1c (a
long-term measure of glucose control) as well as fasting blood
glucose. Eating the nuts also reduced systolic blood pressure, body
mass index and CRP an inflammatory marker.</strong><br />
<br />
Nuts are a much better choice than so called nutrition bars if you want a snack.<br />

The reviewed research followed 1,658 adults who were free from
dementia, cardiovascular disease and stroke for an average of 5.6 years
(Littlejohns TJ, et al. 2014).<br />
<br />
Vitamin D levels (25-hydroxy vitamin D) were measured from blood samples.<br />
<br />
<strong>It was found that vitamin D deficiency is associated with a
substantially increased risk for both dementia and Alzheimer's disease.</strong><br />
<br />
For most people 2000 IU daily of vitamin D 3 is enough to maintain a
good level of vitamin D. That should be easy to manage, and if you
also get out in the sun a little bit without sunscreen, you should be
even better off.<br />

There is no single test available at the time to specifically
diagnose Alzheimer's disease or to only show the risk for it. New
research, however, indicates that a common test like fasting glucose
may tell us something about the risk (Burns CM, et al. 2014).<br />
<br />
When regional cerebral metabolic rate for glucose in brain regions
usually affected by Alzheimer disease was measured, a correlation with
fasting glucose levels was found. Higher fasting glucose levels in
cognitively normal, non diabetic adults were correlated with lower
regional cerebral metabolic rate.<br />
<br />
<strong>This means that higher fasting glucose levels may be
associated with the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease and increase
the risk for this disease.</strong><br />
<br />
What is the solution? A diet consisting of high nutrient, low
glycemic index food, exercise and meditation for better handling of
stress.<br />
<br />
This type of lifestyle will also reduce the risk for all other chronic conditions as well.<br />

This research was convincing because it involved 11,000 people who were followed for 50 years (Pinto Pereira SM, et al, 2014).<br />
<br />
A sample of persons born in England, Scotland and Wales in a single
week in March, 1958 were followed up to the age of 50 years. Depressive
symptoms were measured and frequency of physical activity (times per
week) were recorded at the age of 23, 33, 42 and 50 years.<br />
<br />
<strong>It was concluded that physical activity may alleviate depressive symptoms.</strong><br />
<br />
Physical activity needs to be included in your lifestyle. It will make you feel better both physically and psychologically.<br />
<br />
For those who don't like to exercise, the good news is that numerous
studies has documented that you don't have to spend a lot of time
exercising to receive a lot of benefits as long as you exercise at a
high intensity.<br />

Did you know that exercise can improve your memory?<br />
<br />
Maybe you have heard that before, but how long do you think it takes? Not very long depending on how you exercise.<br />
<br />
You may not think of exercise as stress, but exercise is putting
stress on your body, that's why it works. The body responds to the
stress, and you will for example get stronger or improve your endurance
depending on how you exercise.<br />
<br />
Because exercise is stressful, you will also release stress hormones.<br />
<br />
The reviewed research measured participants noradrenaline one of the
hormones released when under stress, and showed the participants
pictures they should try to remember (Weinberg L et al, 2014).<br />
<br />
One group did resistance exercise with one leg after they were shown
the pictures, while the control group sat and had the machine move
their leg for them.<br />
<br />
2 days later they were tested for recall of the pictures.<strong> The group that exercised remembered more of the pictures.</strong>
Also interesting was that the ones that had the strongest response to
the exercise, nor-epinephrine increased the most, also performed better
on the memory test.<br />
<br />
The researchers also found that emotional pictures were remembered
better than neutral ones. This has also been documented in other
studies.<br />
<br />
This is even another example of the importance of the intensity you
exercise with. The more intense it is, the less time you have to spend
exercising. You will also stimulate more muscle growth, and more
release of beneficial hormones, and it will even improve your memory.<br />

It is important that the endothelium is healthy, which is the inner
lining of the blood vessel wall, and it is also important to have good
circulation through those blood vessels.<br />
<br />
If these factors are compromised the risk for atherosclerosis
(clogging of the arteries) will also increase, and you don't want that.<br />
<br />
The reviewed research is interesting because it investigated a common
reason for decline in circulation and what you can do to prevent
it(Thosar SS et al. 2014).<br />
<br />
The researchers measured flow mediated dilation (FMD) for the
superficial femoral artery. When blood flows through a blood vessel,
the vessel will dilate and FMD measures this.<br />
<br />
FMD was measured after the participants had been sitting for 1 hour,
2 hours and 3 hours without getting up. The participants then walked
on a treadmill for 5 minutes after they had been sitting for 30
minutes, 1.5 hour and 2.5 hours and the same FMD measurements were
performed.<br />
<br />
<b>The FMD significantly declined after sitting for 1, 2 and 3
hours, but walking for 5 minutes every hour prevented the decline in
FMD.</b><br />
<br />
Just a simple thing like this can make a difference, and depending
on the activity, you may not even have to be active for 5 minutes.<br />
<br />

The reviewed research is interesting because it shows results from
taking magnesium that most people would find surprising(Rodriguez-Moran
M, Guerrero-Romero F, 2014).<br />
<br />
Participants in this study had metabolic syndrome and low levels of magnesium. They were given magnesium or a placebo once a day for 4
months.<br />
<br />
<strong>At the end of the study period, the blood pressure,
insulin resistance index, fasting glucose and triglyceride levels all
improved in the participants taking the magnesium.</strong><br />
<br />
How can only taking magnesium change all these things?<br />
<br />
The reason is that magnesium is a very important mineral, and it is
involved in many important metabolic functions. In this case it
improved insulin resistance with 46.5 percent.<br />
<br />
When insulin sensitivity improves not only will blood glucose levels
improve, but blood pressure and triglyceride levels as well. Usually
cholesterol will also improve, but that was not measured in this case.<br />
<br />
When taking magnesium, you should take it with other minerals, since
minerals affect each other, and magnesium helps regulate intra and
extra cellular calcium levels. This may also help to prevent calcium
from getting deposited in places you don't want it.<br />
<br />
Magnesium comes in different forms. The most common form is magnesium
oxide because it is the cheapest form, but it is very poorly absorbed,
and it can also give you diarrhea.<br />
<br />
A better form of magnesium is a special form of amino acid chelate.
This form is much better absorbed and will not giving you diarrhea.<br />

You have probably been warned at one time against eating eggs,
because eating eggs could raise your cholesterol and in turn increase
your risk for cardiovascular disease.<br />
<br />
The reviewed research should shed some light on this issue(Blesso CN, et al. 2013).<br />
<br />
In this study the participants were either consuming 3 whole eggs
per day or the equivalent amount in yolk-free egg substitute, as part
of a moderately carbohydrate-restricted diet for 12 weeks.<br />
<br />
Plasma lipids as well as several cardiovascular risk markers, even
particle size of both HDL (good cholesterol) and LDL (bad cholesterol),
were measured.<br />
<br />
<strong>All of these risk factors improved in the participants
eating the eggs, but not for the participants eating the egg
substitute.</strong><br />
<br />
Even plasma insulin and insulin resistance were reduced and the
diameter of the HDL and LDL increased only in the group that ate eggs.
These are all risk factors for cardiovascular disease.<br />
<br />
Apparently eating eggs will reduce your risk for cardiovascular disease, not increase it as we used to believe.<br />

Artificial sweeteners are used as an additive in both beverages, as
well as food, to improve taste since most people prefer a sweet taste.<br />
<br />
Since these sweeteners contain very few calories, they are also
popular in diet beverages and diet foods. They are even used in
products marketed to people with diabetes and promoted as a good
alternative to sugar.<br />
<br />
This seems to be a big mistake according to the reviewed research(Suez J, et al. 2014).<br />
<br />
The results demonstrated that consumption of these sweeteners are
causing glucose intolerance because they alter the composition of the
intestinal bacterial flora in a negative way.<br />
<br />
These results have been reproduced in both humans and mice.<br />
<br />
The last thing you want to do is to consume a substance that will
make you more glucose intolerant. This is very important for diabetics,
but also for non diabetics because you don't want to develop diabetes.<br />

The reviewed research included 1658 elderly participants who were
free from dementia at the start of the study(Littlejohns TJ et al.
2014).<br />
<br />
The vitamin they were tested for was vitamin D.<br />
<br />
During the average follow-up of 5.6 years, 171 participants developed dementia including 102 cases of Alzheimer's disease.<br />
<br />
The researchers concluded that the results confirmed that vitamin D
deficiency is associated with a substantially increased risk for
dementia and Alzheimer's disease.<br />
<br />
In my experience, just by taking 2000 IU of vitamin D 3 per day
would keep you above the level of what this research indicates as
increased risk for dementia.<br />

A lot has been written about the bacterial flora of the
gastrointestinal tract lately and how it can affect other areas of the
body.<br />
<br />
The reviewed research evaluated the effects of seven strains of
friendly bacterias and how they may affect insulin
sensitivity(Eslamparast T, et al. 2014).<br />
<br />
Participants with the metabolic syndrome were given capsules
containing 200 million of seven strains of friendly bacterias twice a
day for 28 weeks.<br />
<br />
Fasting blood sugar and insulin resistance improved significantly in the treatment group.<br />
<br />
While we don't know all the friendly bacterias yet, we know that
quite a few can be beneficial to take. When you are traveling, it can
be a good idea to bring a pro-biotic which does not require
refrigeration since this may also help to prevent gastrointestinal
problems if you are exposed to bacterias you are not used to.<br />

High/intensity short/interval training is a type of exercise that
stresses the body hard for a very short period of time. In other words,
it is hard exercise, but you don't have to spend much time doing it.<br />
<br />
That you don't have to spend much time exercising appeals to most
people, but you may wonder if you can tolerate it. Is it safe to
exercise this way if you are not in great shape?<br />
<br />
The reviewed research should answer that question, but make up your own mind after reading this.<br />
<br />
It may surprise you that anybody would even try this with people in
the shape that they were. The researchers took patients with signs of
chronic heart failure and had one group do high/intensity
short/interval training, and had another group do the regular continuous
aerobic exercise training(Koufaki P et al. 2014).<br />
The program lasted for 6 months and the participants were tested for cardio respiratory fitness at the start and at the end.<br />
<br />
Peak oxygen uptake, sit to stand and gait speed improved equality in both groups, no difference in results.<br />
The researchers concluded that the training adaptations were
achieved in the high intensity short interval training group despite a
significant reduced time commitment and reduced work volume when
compared to continuous aerobic exercise training.<br />
<br />
There is really no reason to waist time exercising for a long period
of time unless you enjoy the exercise itself. The high intensity
training was also tolerated well.<br />
<br />
Maybe it should not be a surprise that people with heart failure can exercise like this.<br />
<br />
Years ago people were advised not to do any exercise after they had a
heart attack, believing exercise would increase their risk for another
heart attack. That has been changed because we know better now, that
exercise is one of the things that will help prevent heart problems.<br />

This research is interesting because it measured sodium and
potassium excretion and examined the association between major
cardiovascular events and death(O'Donnell M et al. 2014).<br />
<br />
Urine samples from 101,945 persons in 17 countries were included in the study with a follow up time of an average 3.7 years.<br />
<br />
The average estimated sodium excretion was 4.93 g per day and the potassium was 2.12 g per day.<br />
So how does this relate to sodium intake?<br />
<br />
Based on the urinary excretion, an estimated sodium intake between 3
g per day and 6 g per day was associated with a lower risk of death
and cardiovascular events than was either a higher or a lower intake.<br />
Higher potassium excretion was also associated with lower risks.<br />
<br />
These findings are higher than what's been recommended for sodium
intake in the U.S.. The recommendations in the U.S. are now being
questioned by many.<br />

Knee pain is very common as we get older, and so is systemic inflammation, but what is systemic inflammation?<br />
<br />
Systemic inflammation is the type of inflammation that you may not
even know you have an issue with, because you don't have to have a
swollen joint. This type of inflammation is low grade, and it affects
your whole body. It can, however, be measured by checking certain
inflammatory markers.<br />
<br />
The reviewed research investigated if there was an association
between increased knee pain and systemic inflammation(Stannus OP et al.
2013). The participants were 149 men and women with an average age of
63 years. Knee pain was determined using an osteoarthritis pain
questionnaire at the start of the study and then five years later.
Radio graphs as well as MRI were used in the examination.<br />
<br />
Several inflammatory markers were tested, highly sensitive
C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha)
and interleukin-6 (IL-6).<br />
<br />
The conclusion was that systemic inflammation is an independent
predictor of worsening knee pain over 5 years. Adjustments for radio
graphic osteoarthritis or structural abnormalities detected on the MRI
did not make much difference regarding that association.<br />
<br />
Does this mean that you can't do anything about this?<br />
<br />
No, you <em>can</em> do something about this, and I suggest you do, because systemic inflammation is also a risk factor for chronic disease.<br />
<br />
Research has documented that the food you eat can be quite effective in reducing this type of inflammation.<br />

What would be the benefits of changing your estrogen metabolites?<br />
<br />
Certain estrogen metabolites are related to a higher risk for
estrogen related diseases. Breast cancer is one of those diseases.<br />
<br />
If you could change the ratio between the harmless metabolites and the
ones related to an increased risk for estrogen related problems you
would be better off.<br />
<br />
The reviewed research investigated if exercise could do that since
exercise has shown to reduce the risk for breast cancer.(Smith
AJ,et.al.,2013).<br />
<br />
The participants were healthy young women who were divided into
either an exercise group doing 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous
aerobic exercise 5 days a week or a sedentary control group. The study
went on for approximately 16 weeks.<br />
<br />
Estrogens and estrogen metabolites were measured,and the rates of
the different metabolites were calculated. The change from the baseline
measurements increased significantly in the exercise group for
2-OHE1/16α-OHE1 which is the ratio of the estrogen metabolites
associated with a decreased risk for estrogen related diseases. This
change was not seen in the control group.<br />
<br />
The researchers concluded that this may be the mechanism by which
increased physical activity is decreasing the risk for breast cancer.<br />

Have you been told or have you read that the more you lower your cholesterol the better off you are?<br />
You may also have heard that having high cholesterol is healthy. So what is correct?<br />
<br />
More and more research documents that it may be dangerous to lower
your cholesterol too much, but the reviewed research is shedding some
light on this (Bae J M et al. 2012).<br />
<br />
Screenings from 12,740 adults between the ages of 40 and 69 years
were included in the study, and they were followed from 1993 to 2008.
The results were probably surprising to a lot of people.<br />
<br />
Cholesterol below 160 mg/dl as well as above 240 mg/dl was
associated with higher cardiovascular disease mortality. As with many
physiological functions the risk ratio has a U-formed curve.<br />
<br />
<strong>Both too little and too much is not good, it needs to be between certain levels.</strong><br />
<br />
Cholesterol has often been presented as a bad thing we would be better off without.<br />
<br />
That could not be further from the truth. Cholesterol is necessary for many functions; the body makes it for a reason.<br />
<br />
Eating more nuts, seeds and olive oil and less high glycemic index

You don't want to have a slow metabolic rate because that would make it harder to maintain a lean body composition.<br />
<br />
You can probably also agree that most of us are exposed to plenty of stress during a average day.<br />
I think you will find the reviewed research interesting because it
investigated how stress may affect our metabolic rate (Kiecolt-Glaser
JK, et.al.,2014).<br />
<br />
Fifty-eight healthy women, with the average age of 53.1 years,
participated in the study and were given high fat test meals. The day
prior to eating the test meals, stressors were also assessed using a
standard test. Fat and carbohydrate oxidation, triglycerides, cortisol,
insulin and glucose were measured before and after the 2 high fat
meals.<br />
<br />
It was found that greater numbers of stressors were associated with
lower fat oxidation after the meals and also higher insulin levels.<br />
<br />
The difference between stressors the day before and no stressors turned
out to be 435 kj which is approximately 104 calories. The researchers
estimated that it could add up to almost 11 pounds per year in weight
gain.<br />
<br />
<strong>This means that stress can contribute to weight gain.</strong><br />
<br />
You may not be able to control the factors contributing to stress,
but you can, with some training, control how you react to stress.<br />
<br />
In other words you can make yourself more stress resistant.<br />
<br />
Meditation is a great tool for that.<br />
