Inflammation and thrombosis are implicated in several non-communicable chronic disorders, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, renal neurodegenerative skin especially cancer. Natural bioactives phytochemicals like phenolic compounds have been proposed to reduce the inflammatory burden with health benefits against these disorders. Vanillin is a compound found seeds of various species vanilla plants. It has known since ancient times for its aromatic soothing properties; however, recent outcomes outlined other pleiotropic actions this bioactive compound. Within article, potent anti-inflammatory activities vanillin derivatives thoroughly reviewed, emphasis on their anti-cancer, anti-infective, wound-healing, neuroprotective health-promoting properties.

Background MS is a chronic inflammatory neurological and immune-mediated disease of multifactorial etiology. Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) have been generally considered unhealthy due to their poor nutritional value. Emerging evidence suggests that factors other than content may play an additional role toward inflammation. Aim To investigate the potential association UPF consumption severity in group Italian consecutive patients. Methods Demographic (age, sex, marital status, educational level), (EDSS, MSSS), (anthropometric measures, dietary habits) information were collected. Physical activity smoking habits also investigated. Food items grouped according NOVA classification. Patients classified two groups based on (“mild” “moderate high”). Results Higher was associated with moderate-to-high compared lower both unadjusted model (OR = 2.28, 95% CI: 1.04–5.01) after adjustment for background 2.46, 1.04–5.83) clinical confounding 2.97, 1.13–7.77). Conclusions Although these results are only preliminary hypothesis generating, it important explore how various aspects diet relate order identify best strategy support patients over course.

Obesity is considered an important risk factor for the onset of asthma, playing a key role in enhancing disease’s severity. However, there increasing evidence linking not only obesity but also overweight with higher asthma. Although correlation between and asthma has already been reported, several aspects are still fully elucidated, mainly about inflammatory processes underlying both diseases. It well known that Western-type calorically rich diets overfeeding can act as triggers chronic metabolic inflammation, few studies have examined associations ultra-processed foods (UPFs) intake, despite its positive obesity, biomarkers inflammation. In addition to their nutrient composition, UPF may chemical additives contaminants from packaging, whose effects on health food addiction under research. this review, we provide overview current data identify obese phenotype consumption, highlighting potential central played by intestinal microbiota.

While it was designed to identify ultra-processed foods linked noncommunicable diseases, system a holistic concept that fits with sustainable nutrition. However, NOVA’s connection other diet indicators not thoroughly explored. The aim summarize research and methodological context using investigate synergies discordance them. A scoping review conducted based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses—Extension Scoping (PRISMA-ScR). Studies published between 2009 2023 were collected from Web Science, Scopus, PubMed databases. 1612 studies initially screened; in selected (n = 77), applied addition indicator(s). analyzed within qualitative data analysis framework. 77 which healthiness 66), environmental pressure 9), affordability 11), processing classifications 6), 10) NOVA.
