Your winter defense starts with proper nutrition: How DIET supports immunity
A strong immune system relies on a balanced mix of nutrients (vitamins C, D, A, zinc, iron, magnesium, selenium), not a single “superfood.” About 70 percent of immune defenses are located in the gut, so supporting gut health (e.g. with fermented foods) is key. Vitamin C supplements won’t necessarily prevent colds in healthy people, but […]

Consuming NUTS can support cognitive health and weight control, research finds

Studies show that including nuts in calorie-restricted diets does not hinder weight loss—and may even improve outcomes like cholesterol and blood pressure compared to nut-free diets. Nuts are rich in […]

People with untreated high blood pressure have about a 36 percent higher risk of Alzheimer’s compared to those without hypertension and about 42 percent higher risk compared to those who are treated. Mechanisms include […]

Study: A very specific dietary strategy can help make glioblastoma more treatable
Glioblastoma cells rewire their metabolism. Instead of using glucose for the brain’s normal energy functions and neurotransmitter production, the tumors divert sugar into building blocks (nucleotides) needed for rapid growth and invasion. Glioblastoma shows reduced capacity to produce serine and glycine internally, and instead scavenges them from the blood. Mice fed diets low in serine […]

Practical and sustainable path to a healthy heart: The influence of diet on cardiovascular health
Aim to consume minimally processed foods 80 percent of the time, allowing flexibility for the remaining 20 percent. Drink plenty of water and minimize or eliminate alcohol, which can be toxic to cells. Incorporate fiber-filled, anti-inflammatory foods like beans, lentils, fatty fish, nuts and whole grains to reduce cardiovascular risk. Use smaller plates, pre-portion meals […]

Rehydrate with coconut water: Nature’s low-calorie alternative to sports drinks
Coconut water offers essential minerals — potassium, magnesium, sodium, calcium and vitamin C — that aid hydration and muscle function. It may even rehydrate as effectively as sports drinks in certain contexts. Early studies suggest it may help lower blood pressure, prevent kidney stones, support heart and blood sugar health and relieve ulcerative colitis symptoms. […]
