The inclusion of cashew nuts in an adequate diet may provide benefits help improve the mineral status individuals obesity. Objective: To evaluate effects nut consumption on biomarkers Cu Zn Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial conducted adolescents. participants were divided into control group (CON) (CASN). CASN received 30 g/day roasted for 12 weeks, both groups nutritional counseling during study. Anthropometric, dietary, biochemical parameters (Zn, Cu, superoxide dismutase (SOD)) assessed at baseline end Association tests, within-group between-group mean comparisons, analyses variation between study periods (Δ T12-T0) performed.

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions associated with the risk diabetes mellitus type 2 and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). closely related to obesity. Increased adiposity promotes inflammation oxidative stress, which are precursors various complications involving metabolic components, namely insulin resistance, hypertension, hyperlipidemia. An increasing number studies confirm importance stress chronic in etiology syndrome. However, few have reviewed mechanisms underlying role contributing In this review, we highlight by reactive oxygen species (ROS) increase mitochondrial dysfunction, protein damage, lipid peroxidation, impair antioxidant function Biomarkers can be used disease diagnosis evaluation severity.

Abstract Background Cancer-related deaths and environmental issues pose significant global challenges. The Planetary Health Diet (PHD) is a healthy dietary pattern that simultaneously promotes human health ecology. This study aims to investigate the association between Index (PHDI) mortality among cancer survivors, as well mediating role of inflammation PHDI all-cause mortality. Methods analyzed data from 3,442 survivors enrolled in United States National Nutrition Examination Survey 1999 2018. To mortality, we applied weighted multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression, restricted cubic spline analysis, subgroup sensitivity analysis. effects Systemic Immune-Inflammation (SII) Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) were assessed using bootstrap method with 1000 simulations.

According to WHO (World Health Organization), in 2022, 43% of adults worldwide were overweight and 16% suffered from obesity. Overweight obesity is a condition which the body, due excess consumed calories, accumulates it form adipose tissue. However, this tissue not only an energy store but also secretes numerous adipokines, mainly with pro-inflammatory effects. The mobilization immune system accumulation called low-grade inflammation (LGI) mediating factor between body weight diseases such as cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, sleep apnea, even cancer. aim review update reports related dietary factors influencing severity or alleviation obese people. used studies PubMed Google Scholar last 10 years. results indicate that Western diet, rich processed foods, high levels saturated fatty acids, simple sugars, salt, low fiber nutrient content (vitamins minerals), leads increased inflammation. On other hand, calorie restrictions appropriate balance macronutrients, antioxidant anti-inflammatory nutrients (e.g., polyphenols, vitamins A, C, E, selenium) may reduce LGI, reducing risk obesity-related diseases.
