“Infants who have mothers that smoke during breastfeeding are more likely to sleep less and have a higher risk of respiratory infections and sudden infant death syndrome. Many drugs that may even be safe to take during pregnancy are not safe to take while breastfeeding.”

“In a randomized crossover experiment in only 20 women with polycystic ovary syndrome, one acute beta-hydroxybutyrate drink lowered glucose and changed selected metabolic and hormonal measures. The small, short study does not establish a treatment for PCOS or a durable clinical benefit.”

“Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): TRE shifts metabolic processes away from liver fat production, improves insulin resistance, and decreases metabolic syndrome risk factors independent of weight loss.”

“In recent decades, emerging data indicate that vitamin D status influences risk for many chronic diseases, such as metabolic syndrome and it related disorders, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune disorders, cancer, and many other causes of premature death.”

“Dietary fibers also maintain gut barrier function, which is often impaired in metabolic syndrome due to increased intestinal permeability. Learn more about intestinal permeability in our overview article. View study abstract.”

“A meta-analysis of 14 randomized controlled studies analyzed the effects of zinc supplementation on glycemic control. Of the 14 studies, four evaluated healthy people while the remaining 10 evaluated people classified as unhealthy due to obesity, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome.”

“In 27 men with metabolic syndrome, four four-minute intervals near 90 percent of peak heart rate improved VO2 max more than work-matched moderate exercise. A two-year randomized trial used a broader progressive program in healthy, sedentary adults around age 53.”

“Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of disorders that includes high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess abdominal fat, and abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Having metabolic syndrome increases a person's risk for developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and premature death.”

In addition, a mouse model of Werner syndrome – a genetic disorder characterized by premature aging – demonstrated that vitamin C supplementation extended the mean lifespan of the mice and corrected many of the age-related metabolic diseases characterized as metabolic syndrome.

“Consequently, the risk of developing metabolic and cardiovascular diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension in childhood and later life is likely determined by early feeding and nutritional status. Breastfeeding is the biologically superior way to feed an infant.”
