Precision nutrition??? Also referred to as personalized nutrition... Focuses on the individual rather than groups of people This is idea that nutrition advice can be tailored to improve health and prevent/treat chronic diseases based on a person’s unique characteristics like DNA, microbiome, race, gender, health history, lifestyle habits and more. Precision nutrition suggests that each person will have a different response to specific foods and nutrients. So that the best diet for one individual may look very different than the best diet for another. A brand new paper reports that the hype regarding precision nutrition exceeds the evidence - at least currently. 'Precision Nutrition: The Hype Is Exceeding the Science and Evidentiary Standards Needed to Inform Public Health Recommendations for Prevention of Chronic Disease' From Regan Bailey and Patrick Stover Published in the journal: Annual Review of Nutrition For now, I'm sticking with lots of fruits, veggies, nuts, legumes etc. until the science supports a more tailored approach....

It's great that precision nutrition seeks to customize dietary advice for individuals based on their unique characteristics. Glad to see that more and more the concept of “one fits all” is staying behind. However, as this paper highlights, the hype might be outpacing the evidence at the moment. I think that individualization of nutrition advice is still pivotal in patient’s success at making lasting and effective lifestyle changes. Integrating culturally sensitive dietary changes into the precision nutrition approach can lead to more sustainable and consistent implementation of dietary modifications. Understanding the unique cultural and lifestyle factors that influence food choices is crucial for long-term success. While we navigate the evolving landscape of precision nutrition, honoring diverse traditions can play a vital role in promoting health and wellness. 🌍🍽️ 🥦🍏📚 #PrecisionNutrition #PersonalizedHealth #EvidenceBasedNutrition #CulturalDiversity #SustainableChange

According to a long-term study that was recently published, you can increase your life expectancy by up to five years simply by optimizing your omega-3 intake! Researchers have found that omega-3 levels in red blood cells (blood erythrocytes) are very good mortality risk predictors even when compared to other mortality risks such as smoking. And in addition, just a 1% increase in omega-3 in the blood is associated with a change in mortality risk similar to that of quitting smoking. "Being a regular smoker takes 4.7 years off your life expectancy, the same as you gain if you have high levels of omega-3 acids in your blood," Dr. Aleix Sala-Vila, a postdoctoral researcher in the IMIM's Cardiovascular Risk and Nutrition Research Group and author of the study said. The study was published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Food sources of omega-3 include fatty fish such as mackerel, salmon and sardines, other seafood such as oysters and cod liver oil, plant sources such as flaxseed, chia seeds and hemp hearts, and other foods such as walnuts, tofu and avocado. Omeg-3 can also be taken as a supplement. Although there are no official guidelines for omega-3 intake, most health organizations generally recommend a minimum of **250 mg** and a maximum of **3,000 mg** of combined EPA and DHA per day, unless instructed otherwise by a health professional.

Nutrition is the ‘scaffolding’ for health and longevity! Food is not only a foundational pillar, for health and longevity, but is also the ‘scaffolding’ for building and survival. There is so much information and misinformation about nutrition and diet today. Some claim that if you ingest a supplement pill, that is sufficient. Research shows this is not the case: in order to have optimum gut performance, which leads to proper utilization of nutrients, you need to feed the gut vitamins, minerals, and fiber missing in typical Western diets. When we optimize gut performance and provide the mitochondria what is needed to power every cell, chronic inflammation, the precursor for almost every chronic disease, can be reduced or even eliminated.  The biogerontolgical understanding of aging focuses on food and nutrition – it’s not just about today’s health, but also about longevity. Using food and nutrition to prolong healthy aging is foundational research by Dr. Bruce Ames, National Medal of Science recipient and lead scientist in the development of the Healright Metabolic Health Bar. In the ‘Triage Theory’, Dr. Bruce Ames states, “micronutrient deficiencies cause insidious damage that accelerates age-associated chronic disease.” One way to be sure to fill in the missing nutrients using food as a delivery system, is the Healright Metabolic Health Program, it’s effective, easy, and delicious!

After a break of 13-year, Dr. Hemlatha R and her dedicated team from ICMR-National Institute of Nutrition have released the latest “Dietary Guidelines for Indians”. The guidelines have been revised considering new scientific findings, lifestyle changes, non-communicable diseases and food habits. Estimates indicate that 56.4% of India's total disease burden is attributable to unhealthy diets. The revised dietary guidelines issued by the National Institute of Nutrition aim to provide evidence-based recommendations to promote healthier dietary habits among Indians and mitigate the growing burden of non- communicable diseases in the country.

https://lnkd.in/gDRPRPQp 66% of Diet-Related Cardiovascular Deaths Are Due to a Low Consumption of Plant-Based Foods. A poor diet is a major risk factor for heart disease. A recent analysis of over half a million Chinese adults found that more than two-thirds of diet-related cardiovascular deaths can be attributed to low intakes of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and nuts, while a low intake of fruit was the leading dietary risk factor for stroke, followed by a low intake of whole grains and vegetables.1 Aside from addressing many of the risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and elevated cholesterol, a plant-based diet may also be able to reverse plaque buildup in the arteries.2,3 Source: https://lnkd.in/g_RzX3J3

😲The Bittersweet Truth About Artificial Sweeteners! As a public health nutritionist, I feel it’s important to shed light on the substances we consume in pursuit of health. Today, I want to talk about artificial sweeteners – those ubiquitous ingredients found in ‘diet’ and ‘sugar-free’ products. While artificial sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose, and saccharin may offer the allure of sweetness without the calories, recent studies suggest that the story isn’t so straightforward 🫥. Here are some reasons to reconsider their use: -- Gut Health: Emerging research indicates that artificial sweeteners may disrupt the delicate balance of our gut microbiome, potentially leading to a proliferation of harmful bacteria. --Metabolic Health: Contrary to their intended purpose, some studies have linked artificial sweeteners to poor blood sugar control and an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, which is a cluster of conditions that raise the risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. --Appetite and Weight: There’s evidence suggesting that artificial sweeteners may activate reward pathways in the brain that increase appetite, which could lead to weight gain over time. --Cardiovascular Risk: Some research has associated the consumption of artificial sweeteners with an increased risk of stroke and heart disease. It’s important to note that while these sweeteners are approved for use and considered safe by regulatory bodies like the FDA, the debate on their long-term health impacts continues. As with many things in nutrition, moderation is key🥗. If you’re looking to reduce your sugar intake, consider natural alternatives and remember that a balanced diet rich in whole foods is the cornerstone of good health⚜️. https://lnkd.in/e2riAPDi #artificialsweeteners #nutrition #healthyalternatives
