ABSTRACT/ Sleep is responsible for proper metabolic balance. Disturbances in sleep causes insulin resistance, beta cell dysfunction and obesity through various pathways. Snoring is one of the important indicative symptoms of sleep apnoea that leads to disturbances in sleep. A 54-years old male patient was presented to Kayachikitsa casualty GovernmentRead
DISCOVERY: Gut-Brain Vagus Nerve Study Shows Nerve Cells Detect What We Eat
Though we know about the importance of sensory neurons in gut-brain communication and how this relates to satiety and blood glucose regulation, just how these cells actually participate in the regulation of feeding and blood glucose levels was an unknown. New mice research, published in Cell Metabolism, sheds light onRead
Early Animal Study Shows Selenium May Support Healthspan and Metabolic Health Benefits
Adding the nutrient selenium may support healthspan and metabolic health such as protecting against obesity, so says a mouse study published in eLife. The results could lead to interventions that reproduce many of the anti-aging effects associated with dietary restriction while also allowing people to eat as normal. One ofRead
PCOS DISCOVERIES: Men with Genetic Risk Factors & Black Women at Greater Odds for Cardiometabolic Diseases
Two new studies presented at the annual ENDO 2021 meeting (March 20-23), the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting, provides valuable insight into polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The first study found that men with the genetic risk factors for PCOS can develop the same characteristics of the disease. This surprising study leadsRead
DISCOVERY: Nature Med Study Connects Gut Microbes with Biomarkers of Disease
A large-scale international study using metagenomics and blood chemical profiling discovered a panel of 15 gut microbes that are closely associated with lower risks of common conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Some of the identified gut microbes are so novel that they have not yet been named.Read
Bursts of Exercise Are Enough to Lead to Significant Improvements of Metabolic Health
Short bursts of exercise induce changes in the body’s levels of metabolites that correlate to, and may help gauge, an individual’s cardiometabolic, cardiovascular and long-term health, a study by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) has found. In a paper published in Circulation, the research team describes how approximately 12 minutes ofRead
Very Low-Carbohydrate Diet in Older Adults Dramatically Improves Metabolic Health
What is the value of very low carbohydrate diets? A new study, published in Nutrition and Metabolism, from researchers with the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Nutrition Obesity Research Center observed improvements in body composition, fat distribution and metabolic health in response to an eight-week, very low-carbohydrate diet. Very Low-CarbohydrateRead
The Influence of the Microbiome on Metabolism
Featuring the MetabolicBiome™ Plus Program Join Dr. Alex Vasquez as he embarks on a journey to redefine metabolic health and weight loss to include dietary and metabolic insults, microbial imbalance and an increased toxic load. In this webinar, Dr. Vasquez explains the integral relationships between the gut microbiome, inflammatory status and metabolicRead
Effects of Sucralose Ingestion versus Sucralose Taste on Metabolic Responses to an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test
Artificial sweeteners such as sucralose provide the seductive taste of sweetness without the calories contained in sugar — a seeming win-win for people who need to control their blood sugar and insulin levels or weight. However, simply tasting or consuming sucralose may affect blood glucose and insulin levels on glucoseRead
Fat Cells Sense Sunlight, which Supports a Healthy Metabolism
A headline like this sounds too strange to be true. Yes, fat cells deep under your skin can sense sunlight. And when bodies do not get enough exposure to the right kinds of light, fat cells behave differently. This discovery, published in the journal Cell Reports, was uncovered by scientistsRead
