A low carbohydrate mediterranean diet improves cardiovascular risk factors a...
This study compared the effects of three diets - a low carbohydrate Mediterranean (LCM) diet, a traditional Mediterranean (TM) diet, and the 2003 American Diabetes Association (ADA) diet - on 259 overweight patients with type 2 diabetes over 12 months. The LCM diet resulted in greater reductions in HbA1c and triglyceride levels compared to the other diets. Only the LCM diet improved HDL cholesterol levels. All diets resulted in weight loss and improvements in cardiovascular risk factors, but the LCM diet was superior for improving glycemic control.
Hearthealthy foods
This document discusses functional foods and their impact on heart health. It defines functional foods as conventional foods that provide additional health benefits. Several foods are identified as having dietary sources associated with reduced heart disease risk, including oats, soy, fish, and red wine. Studies show oats containing beta-glucan can lower cholesterol, while soy protein and fish omega-3 fatty acids also positively impact heart health markers. Tea and red wine consumption may reduce cardiovascular mortality through their antioxidant effects. While evidence supports links between these functional foods and heart health, more research is still needed.
Malnutrition in the hospital
This document discusses malnutrition in hospitalized patients. It provides background on malnutrition, its causes and symptoms. It then summarizes several studies that were conducted to better understand malnutrition in hospitals. The studies looked at factors like food intake, nutritional status, reasons for poor intake, and interventions to address malnutrition. They involved patients from a range of age groups, from infants to the elderly. The studies highlighted how common malnutrition is in hospitals and its negative impacts on patient outcomes like increased mortality. They stressed the importance of early identification and treatment of malnutrition.
Malnutrition in the hospital
The document discusses malnutrition in hospital patients. It describes how malnutrition can occur due to inadequate diet, digestion issues, or medical conditions. Left untreated, malnutrition can lead to complications and death. Studies show patients who eat less in the hospital have higher mortality rates. Reasons elderly patients eat inadequately in the hospital include illness, appetite loss, oral issues, and menu limitations. Dysphagia is another risk factor for malnutrition. Tube feedings and IV nutrition can help supplement intake for those unable to eat. Early nutrition intervention may help prevent malnutrition in hospitals.
Dtc 608 research paper revised
This document summarizes recent research on phytochemicals. It discusses studies that examined the effects of thermal treatments and cooking methods on phytochemical content in berries and vegetables. Other studies investigated the phytochemical profiles and antioxidant activities of black rice, hot peppers, and lettuce grown with abscisic acid. The document concludes that phytochemical content is dependent on many factors and more research is needed to understand actual health benefits.
Phytochemicals
This document lists various phytochemicals found in foods and their potential health benefits. It discusses phytochemicals like allicin in garlic and onions that may lower cholesterol and protect against cardiovascular disease, as well as capsaicin in hot peppers that may reduce blood clotting. Additionally, it mentions carotenoids in foods like carrots and kale that may have anti-cancer benefits, and flavinoids in berries that may help improve memory. Overall, the document outlines different phytochemicals and their presence in foods, linking several to potential anti-cancer and heart-health promoting effects.
