Dietary Fiber Intake and Gut Microbiota in Human Health

Microorganisms, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 10(12), С. 2507 - 2507

Опубликована: Дек. 18, 2022

Dietary fiber is fermented by the human gut microbiota, producing beneficial microbial metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids. Over last few centuries, dietary intake has decreased tremendously, leading to detrimental alternations in microbiota. Such changes consumption have contributed global epidemic of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic disorders. The responses microbiota are specific type, amount, duration intake. intricate interplay between may provide clues for optimal intervention strategies patients with diabetes noncommunicable diseases. In this review, we summarize current evidence regarding intake, modulation, modification health, highlighting type-specific cutoff thresholds outcomes.

The Rise of Gastrointestinal Cancers as a Global Phenomenon: Unhealthy Behavior or Progress?

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 20(4), С. 3640 - 3640

Опубликована: Фев. 18, 2023

The overall burden of cancer is rapidly increasing worldwide, reflecting not only population growth and aging, but also the prevalence spread risk factors. Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, including stomach, liver, esophageal, pancreatic, colorectal represent more than a quarter all cancers. While smoking alcohol use are factors most commonly associated with development, growing consensus includes dietary habits as relevant for GI Current evidence suggests that socioeconomic development results in several lifestyle modifications, shifts from local traditional diets to less-healthy Western diets. Moreover, recent data indicate increased production consumption processed foods underlies current pandemics obesity related metabolic disorders, which directly or indirectly emergence various chronic noncommunicable conditions However, environmental changes restricted patterns, unhealthy behavioral features should be analyzed holistic view lifestyle. In this review, we discussed epidemiological aspects, gut dysbiosis, cellular molecular characteristics cancers explored impact behaviors, diet, physical activity on developing context progressive societal changes.

Dietary Nutrient Deficiencies and Risk of Depression (Review Article 2018–2023)

Nutrients, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 15(11), С. 2433 - 2433

Опубликована: Май 23, 2023

Depression is classified as one of the most common mental disorders. Its prevalence has recently increased, becoming a growing public health threat. This review focuses on clarifying role and importance individual nutrients in diet impact nutrient deficiencies risk depression. Deficiencies such protein, B vitamins, vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, selenium, iron, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids have significant brain nervous system function, which can affect appearance depressive symptoms. However, it important to remember that itself not only factor influencing or helping treat There are many other aspects, physical activity, sleep, stress management, social support, also play an maintaining health. The data observed available analyses based cross-sectional studies. Further studies, including prospective cohort, case-control recommended draw more reliable conclusions.

In recent years, although life expectancy has increased significantly, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) continue to pose a significant threat the health of global population. Therefore, eating habits have been recognized as key modifiable factors that influence people’s and well-being. For this reason, it is interesting study dietary patterns, since human diet complex mixture macronutrients, micronutrients, bioactive compounds, can modulate multiple physiological processes, including immune function, metabolism, inflammation. To ensure data we acquired were current relevant, searched primary secondary sources, scientific journals, bibliographic indexes, databases in last 15 years with most relevant articles. After search, observed all research on NCDs suggests critical factor shaping an individual’s outcomes. Thus, cardiovascular, metabolic, mental, dental, visual depends largely intake, nutritional behaviors. A high processed refined foods, added sugars, saturated fats increase risk developing chronic diseases. On other hand, rich whole, nutrient-dense such vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, adherence Mediterranean improve health’s people.
