“The researchers first examined the relationship between self-reported physical activity and menopause in two large human datasets, then had female mice exercise regularly on a treadmill for one month while controls spent the same sessions on it without running.”

“An obesogenic diet drives immune cell activation. Although the role of dietary fat intake in obesity is a matter of considerable controversy, research has identified complex interrelationships between dietary components, inflammation, and immune function.”

“Male mice with diet-induced obesity and poor blood sugar control entered a three-week rapid-weight-loss experiment as they switched from a high-fat diet to regular food under calorie-deficit conditions.”

“The average person living in the United States consumes more than 500 calories per day in sugars, translating to roughly 100 pounds of sugar per year. High sugar consumption is associated with an increased risk for obesity, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver disease.”

“A dysregulated endocannabinoid system and gut microbiota may increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and obesity; however, exercise may improve microbiota and gut health.”

“Sugar-sweetened beverage consumption in the United States has decreased in recent decades, hopefully translating into lower rates of obesity and cardiovascular disease, both associated with excess sugar consumption.”

“Participants received weekly semaglutide injections or matched placebo alongside standard care. Blood collected at the start and after 104 weeks was assessed with a model that uses 25 proteins to estimate the likelihood of a dementia diagnosis from any cause over five and 20 years.”

“Interventions in people with obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, or type 2 diabetes have improved some combination of insulin sensitivity, longer-term glucose regulation, triglycerides, and later post-meal glucose or insulin, even when weight, fasting glucose, inflammatory markers, or blood pressure did not change.”

“A Western dietary pattern, characterized by a low intake of fruits and vegetables and a high intake of red and processed meats and added sugars, promotes chronic diseases, including obesity. It also increases low-grade inflammation by directly reprogramming immune cells to become pro-inflammatory.”

“Excess sugar consumption degrades health by contributing to obesity and promoting cancer initiation and progression. Findings of a recent report elucidate the mechanisms by which fructose improves survival of and nutrient absorption by intestinal cells.”
