Der "Histaminintoleranz" liegt häufig eine Selbstdiagnose zugrunde. Aufgrund der bekannten Bandbreite an Reaktionen, die durch endogen produziertes, gespeichertes und freigesetztes Histamin als Botenstoff vermittelt werden kann, wird postuliert, dass Nahrungshistamin Auslöser für entsprechende Reaktionen sein könne. Ergebnisse von Untersuchungen mit doppelblinden, placebokontrollierten Provokationstests bestätigen das nicht, sondern zeigen vielmehr, oral verabreichtes keine reproduzierbaren auslöst andererseits nach Placebo auftreten, was auf einen starken Noceboeffekt hinweist. Ohne Reproduzierbarkeit ist Definition einer Unverträglichkeit allerdings nicht erfüllt. Da viele Betroffene stark unter ihrer leiden, weil Speiseauswahl Lebensqualität soziales Miteinander massiv einschränkt, haben deutschsprachigen allergologischen Fachgesellschaften Leitlinie herausgegeben, ein pragmatisches diagnostisches therapeutisches Vorgehen beschreibt. Dabei geht es vorrangig darum, über Optimierung Verdauungsvoraussetzungen Symptome zu lindern erweitern, weniger um Entkräftigung Verdachtsdiagnose. Die Zusammenarbeit allergologisch versierten Ernährungsfachkraft daher dringend anzuraten.

Processed foods are that undergo physical, chemical, or biological processes to enhance durability, extend shelf life, improve taste and texture, alter nutritional content, facilitate consumption. While traditional processed preserved packaged through methods such as canning salting, ultra-processed (UPFs) industrially produced formulations ready-to-eat ready-to-heat typically contain little no whole food ingredients. Recent evidence suggests the adverse health effects of UPFs may not only be due nutrients they provide but also non-nutritive components their impact on gut health. Diets rich in associated with cellular changes leading oxidative stress, which turn contributes inflammation aging processes. In this context, reducing consumption UPFs, limiting refined carbohydrates, modifying meal timing frequency recommended for improving

Consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) increases overall caloric intake and is associated with obesity, cardiovascular disease, brain pathology. There scant evidence as to why UPF consumption leads increased whether the negative health consequences are due adiposity or characteristics UPFs. Using UK Biobank sample, we probed associations between consumption, adiposity, metabolism, structure. Our analysis reveals that high linked adverse metabolic profiles, alongside cellularity changes in feeding-related subcortical areas. These partially mediated by dyslipidemia, systemic inflammation body mass index, suggesting UPFs exert effects on beyond just contributing obesity. This dysregulation network structures may create a self-reinforcing cycle consumption.

The potentially risky effects of metabolites phthalates (mPAEs) on inflammation and immune function have attracted much attention in recent years. However, direct studies the relationship between these systemic inflammatory index (SII) response (SIRI) are limited. This cross-sectional study used generalized linear regression models (GLM), restricted cubic splines (RCS), weighted quantile sum (WQS), Bayesian kernel-machine (BKMR) to analyze data from 2,763 U.S. adults aged 20 80 years, obtained National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted 2013 2018. aimed investigate urine samples nine mPAEs levels SII/SIRI a single, nonlinear, mixed explored robustness findings under single using two sensitivity analyses for completeness. In addition, six variables (age, sex, BMI, percentage total daily energy intake ultra-processed foods (UPFs), vegetable intake, dietary supplements) association results were through subgroup identify important confounders. exposure analyses, mono-n-butyl phthalate (MnBP), mono-ethyl (MEP), monobenzyl (MBzP) positively associated with SII/SIRI. demonstrated positive collective concentrations SII/SIRI, MBzP being identified as significant contributor urinary mPAEs. analysis exposures show that is more females, overweight/obese populations, young/middle-aged populations high UPFs.

Purpose of the review Since introduction prehabilitation concept for optimizing functional capacity before surgery 20 years ago, evidence and interest has grown considerably. This summarizes recent proposes questions with special regard to nutritional component. Recent findings Several meta-analyses multimodal (exercise, nutrition, psychological support) have been published recently. These reviews suggest that preoperative conditioning can improve reduce complication rate many patient groups (risk bias: moderate low). A prerequisite is identification high-risk patients using suitable screening assessment tools. Additionally, there are currently no standardized, clear recommendations organization implementation programs. The programs vary greatly in duration, content, outcome measurement. Although nutrition interventions enhanced outcomes consistently, was which intervention should be applied whom over consistent time frame four six weeks (timeframe most programs). Summary To advance our understanding work best, how they work, additional low risk bias adequately powered trials required. Nevertheless, presents offered major on a risk-stratified basis.

Background The rising intake of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has been linked to adverse health outcomes, yet its impact on aging acceleration remains unclear. Objective This study aimed examine the association between percentage total daily calories (%Kcal) and grams (%Gram) from UPFs phenotypic age (PhenoAgeAccel). Methods Data 12,079 adults in NHANES 2005–2010 cycles were analyzed. relationship PhenoAgeAccel was assessed using multivariable linear regression restricted cubic splines, with adjustments for relevant covariates. mediating role body mass index (BMI) also explored. Results A significant positive observed PhenoAgeAccel, highest quartile showing an increase 0.60 (95% CI: 0.15, 1.05; p trend = 0.039), but no found PhenoAgeAccel. Mediation analysis indicated that BMI mediated 27.5% Sensitivity analyses confirmed robustness results. Conclusion Higher is positively associated playing a role.
