“The study involved more than 60,000 adults enrolled in the UK Biobank study. Researchers scored the participants' adherence to the Mediterranean Diet based on reports of their normal dietary intake.”

“Then, they examined how these patterns related to hyperuricemia, defined as uric acid levels above 7.0 milligrams per deciliter for men and 6.0 for women. Participants with higher overall low-carbohydrate diet scores were 41% more likely to have hyperuricemia than those with lower scores.”

“Diet can modulate the structure and function of the gut microbiota in ways that either increase or decrease disease risk. Findings of a new report detail the effects of a very-low-calorie diet on the gut microbiota, weight loss, and infection risk.”

“Adopting a ketogenic diet may be an effective strategy for limiting excessive inflammation, especially in older adults, who are more likely to have poor blood glucose control. The SARS-CoV-2 virus, the cause of COVID-19 illness, induces lung inflammation.”

“They repeated the dietary protocol every three to four weeks – up to eight times in all. The patients followed their normal diets between the fasting-mimicking periods but were encouraged to adhere to healthy lifestyles.”

“Findings of a new report link high saturated-fat diets to increased heart disease biomarkers among mice with high levels of E. coli bacteria. The gut microbiota, the community of bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses that lives in the human intestine, is highly influenced by changes in diet.”

“LDL cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol did not clearly differ across the dietary patterns. One possible explanation for these findings is that the healthier low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets shared many of the same food characteristics despite their different labels.”

“The relationship between increased diet quality and reduced mortality-related epigenetic age was strongest among participants who did not meet exercise recommendations. Smoking status and age did not significantly alter these statistical relationships.”

“It is thought that people with Alzheimer's disease have problems using glucose as energy in the brain. The ketones provide neurons with an alternative form of energy and is one possible mechanism by which the modified ketogenic diet may improve brain function in people with early Alzheimer's disease.”

“As a person ages, their immune system becomes more pro-inflammatory, leading to unresolved or chronic inflammation and driving many age-related diseases and cognitive decline. Authors of a new report suggest that eating a pro-inflammatory diet may further contribute to the inflammatory state associated with aging, driving cognitive decline.”
