| |  | | |  Researchers determine the role of dietary omega-3 fatty acids in the development of ischemic heart disease throughout the world. | | | | |  Australian food scientists have reclassified dietary fibers – beyond just soluble and insoluble – to better guide nutritional decisions and drive targeted health food products. | | | | |  Daily consumption of 57g of pecans for 12 weeks improved cholesterol profiles and diet quality in adults at risk of cardiometabolic disease, without affecting vascular health. Replacing typical snacks with pecans led to higher intake of healthy fats and fiber, and reduced carbohydrate consumption. | | | | |  Today, the Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) and The Obesity Society (TOS) sent a letter to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), along with more than 20 leading organizations and providers across the healthcare continuum, urging the agency to enforce federal regulations around compounding following the recent resolution of GLP-1 medicine shortages. | | | | |  Older adults who limit their sedentary time have lower metabolic syndrome risk, regardless of how active they are or how healthy they eat. Even light movement can support better metabolic health when replacing prolonged sitting. | | | | |  Inadequate fruit and vegetable intake significantly increases the risk of injurious falls in older adults, particularly in women, with cognition, affect, and sleep/energy as partial mediators. | | | | |  Biohacking combines science and lifestyle changes, offering strategies like intermittent fasting and sleep optimization to promote longevity and health. | | | | |  Meal delivery apps are reshaping how people access food but may undermine global nutrition goals by promoting unhealthy eating. Researchers call for targeted regulation, monitoring, and new digital health policies. | | | | |  Mindfulness, total sleep quality, and alcohol consumption may help explain why people who stay up late have a greater risk of depression, according to a new study publishing March 19, 2025, in the open-access journal PLOS One by Simon Evans of University of Surrey, UK, and colleagues. | | | | |  Researchers uncover how probiotics and diet shape the gut microbiome to boost vaccine efficacy, offering new avenues for precision immunization. | | | | |  Obesity speeds up biological aging at the molecular level, but this study finds that a very-low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) can significantly reverse this effect. | | | | |  A 30-year study of over 100,000 U.S. adults found that consistent adherence to healthy dietary patterns, especially the AHEI, was strongly linked to successful aging. Diets rich in plant-based foods and healthy fats, with some low-fat animal products, improved physical, mental, and cognitive health. | | | | |  Melatonin and magnesium are effective sleep aids, each with unique mechanisms. Their combination may enhance sleep quality and relaxation for better rest. | | | | |  Researchers used genome sequencing and machine learning to trace the top food sources behind Salmonella infections in the US. Chicken and vegetables emerged as the primary culprits, together accounting for up to 73% of human cases with known sources. | | | | |  Early sweet taste exposure during complementary feeding does not shape children's dietary taste patterns later in life. Instead, broader environmental factors, such as family eating habits, play a more significant role. | |
