“Consequently, the risk of developing metabolic and cardiovascular diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension in childhood – as well as later in life – is likely determined by early feeding and nutritional status.”

“People with high or moderate aerobic capacity had a 44-48% lower risk of a cardiac death event compared to people with low aerobic capacity. Aerobic capacity was even more important for people that were obese since moderate or high aerobic capacity lowered risk of a cardiac death event by 58-72%.”

“These findings suggest that local hyperthermia treatment induces browning and heat production in white fat in both mice and humans and improves metabolic function in mice, providing a potential means for treating obesity.”

“Higher flavonoid intake is associated with a lower risk of NAFLD progression in older adults with overweight or obesity. Evidence suggests sulforaphane, a bioactive compound derived from broccoli, also benefits liver health.”

“From the article: > "In obese animals, exercise increased IL-6 and IL-10 protein levels in the hypothalamus, and these molecules were crucial for increasing the sensitivity of the most important hormones, insulin and leptin, which control appetite," Carvalheira explained. View full publication.”

“FTA: > Researchers have discovered that antibiotics have an unwanted impact on the microorganisms that live in an animal's gut that's more broad and complex than previously known. A study has helped to explain these processes, which are now believed to affect everything from the immune system to glucose metabolism, food absorption, obesity, stress and behavior.”

“Metabolic syndrome increased by 12%, and high blood pressure by 14%.”

“Capsaicin (the active compound in chili peppers) activate a receptor called Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels and this has been shown to stimulate cellular mechanisms against obesity, by altering mediators of lipid catabolism and thermogenesis.”

“The sleep loss caused a composition change in the gut microbiome including an increased ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes (which parallel the gut microbiome of obese subjects compared with normal-weight subjects).”
