Prolonged mismatch between calories eaten and burned may be putting many athletes at risk of REDs

The estimated prevalence of REDs varies by sport, ranging from 15% to 80%. The syndrome often goes unrecognised by athletes themselves, their coaches, and team clinicians, and may unwittingly be exacerbated by the 'sports culture,' because of the perceived short term gains on performance from intentionally or unintentionally limiting calorie intake, warns the Statement.

Kombucha tea shows promise in lowering blood sugar levels for type 2 diabetics

A recent clinical trial conducted at Georgetown University Hospital suggests that kombucha tea may hold potential as an anti-hyperglycemic agent, reducing fasting blood glucose levels in adult patients with type 2 diabetes. While the results are promising, further research with larger sample sizes is needed to solidify the health benefits of kombucha in managing diabetes.

Tirzepatide outshines other treatments in lowering blood sugar and weight for type 2 diabetes patients

Meta-analysis finds tirzepatide to be the most effective GLP-1 receptor agonist for glucose and weight control in type 2 diabetes patients. The study suggests tirzepatide could be preferable in initial stages of the disease, while other GLP-1 receptor agonists combined with insulin are equally effective for long-term diabetics.
