High Fat Feeding Promotes Simultaneous Decline In Insulin Sensitivity And Cognitive Performance
This study confirmed a possible association between type 2 diabetes mellitus-related insulin sensitivity and the development of dementia including Alzheimer’s disease in animals.
Whole-Grain Consumption Is Associated with Diet Quality and Nutrient Intake in Adults
Consuming three servings of whole-grain foods daily significantly lowered blood pressure in middle-aged adults. Since high blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, reducing blood pressure through diet can decrease the risk of developing heart disease.
Dietary Glycemic Load And Risk Of Colorectal Cancer In Chinese Women
A high-glycemic diet and high glycemic load are not associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer in Chinese women, a population with a high intake of carbohydrates.
A Prospective Analysis Of Elevated Fasting Glucose Levels And Cognitive Function In Older People
A prospective analysis of elevated fasting glucose levels and cognitive function in older people including results from PROSPER and the Rotterdam Study.
Whole-Grain, Cereal Fiber, Bran, and Germ Intake and the Risks of All-Cause and Cardiovascular Disease–Specific Mortality Among Women With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
A diet rich in whole grains and bran may lower the risk of overall death from heart disease in women with diabetes, even after accounting for factors like physical activity and tobacco use.
Whole-Grain Consumption Is Associated with Diet Quality and Nutrient Intake in Adults
Adults who ate the most servings of whole grains each day had better quality diets with higher intakes of almost all vitamins and minerals than people consuming fewer servings of whole grains. Unfortunately, whole grain intake in the U.S. population remains low overall.
Dietary Folate and Vitamin B6 and B12 Intake in Relation to Mortality From Cardiovascular Diseases
Findings from a recent study indicate that a diet rich in folate and vitamin B6 may reduce the risk of death from stroke or heart problems. Researchers believe these nutrients lower levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that has been previously linked to heart disease.
Fasting Plasma Insulin, C-Peptide And Cognitive Change In Older Men Without Diabetes
An assessment of cognitive and insulin secretions in the Physicians’ Health Study II reveals higher fasting insulin and greater insulin secretion in older men may be related to overall cognitive decline among healthy, community-dwelling older men without diabetes.
Mediterranean diet and cognitive function in older adults
Based on two prospective cohorts, adherence to the Mediterranean Diet was associated with reduced risk for mild cognitive decline, conversion into Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and AD.
Perinatal Depression: Prevalence, Risks, and the Nutrition Link – A Review of the Literature
Nutrient inadequacies in pregnant women who consume a typical Western diet might be more common than researchers and clinicians realize. A number of studies have reported that inadequate intakes of nutrients during pregnancy can increase risk for maternal depression.
