We cant really take vacations. The cells need to be taken care of. Its like having a dog, Korbyn Dahlquist 20 explained with only a hint of sarcasm last summer. At the time, the biochemistry and chemistry double major and Associate Professor of Chemistry Angela Stoeckman were embarking on a year-long Edgren Scholarship-funded research project focused on understanding the dietary influence on markers of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma.

To achieve that, the team has been treating liver cancer cellsH4IIE, which can be bought online through distributorswith control substances or a saturated fatty acid called palmitate. The hope is to determine when cells are going through apoptosisdying because of the presence of extra lipidsand if theyre secreting an anti- or pro-inflammatory response in the form of cytokines. Thats like a chemical call for help that could flag the presence of further injury through a simple blood test.

To create the ideal setting for this type of work on fussy mammalian cell cultures, the team has created an intricate and incredibly hands-on process of sterilizing a biosafety cabinet with UV rays before growing cultures in optimal conditions over several days. Then they have to time their assays perfectly with the death of the cells to get the data they need.

They stain the apoptotic cells with fluorescent markers and run them through a flow cytometer. A million cells can be run through the machine at once, and it quantifies the amount of lipids present in specific populations, within a split second.

If people with the cancer have high levels of a certain cytokine, theres morbidity in the disease, Stoeckman explains. If person A is secreting, and B is not, perhaps A is more likely to die from their cancer. What Korbyn is noticing is that if these cancer cells are seeing palmitate, a saturated fatty acid, thats inducing them to secrete more cytokines, which is responsible for high morbidity. And maybe we can keep cytokines under control simply by recommending a certain diet!

NAFLD is a condition that impacts an estimated one in three Americans, and it can progress into hepatocellular carcinoma, the fastest-growing type of liver cancer globally. Its responsible for the third highest number of cancer deaths, so detecting NAFLD early could mean saving lives in the long term. Currently, it can only be identified by biopsy, which is both invasive and expensive.

Student-faculty Research Team Assessing Early Markers and Dietary Treatment of Liver Cancer - Bethel University News

Its painful, leaves marks, cannot be hidden with makeup and you think youre too old to get it. Adult acne can be quite a hassle, and most people who do get it, immediately assume that its because of something they ate. Now, most doctors usually dont agree with this assumption and are more likely to ask you to get complete blood work done to find out the underlying cause behind adult acne.

This is because medical opinion and most researches, like a study published in Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology in 2018, indicate that adult acne has a higher prevalence among women above 25 years than men in that age group -- and that the primary cause is endocrine disorders like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In other cases, adults with a history of dermatological disorders and skin diseases since adolescence continue to be more prone to acne even when theyre middle-aged.

Does diet have anything to do with acne?

A new study published in JAMA Dermatology in June 2020 indicates that consuming certain foods has a higher likelihood of causing adult acne. The study involved the observation of 24,542 French adults between November 2018 and July 2019. The participants were given a questionnaire at the beginning of the study where they were categorised into three groups: people who had never had acne, those who had past acne (but not at present) and those who had acne currently.

A 24-hour dietary record of the participants was taken once every six months on a random basis. The participants reported everything they ate from midnight to the following midnight and were even asked to share portion by measuring exact grams and litres. Of the 31,539 individuals who completed the questionnaire, only 24,452 were finally included in the study because they had completed at least three dietary records, had a normal calorie intake, and had reported their acne status. About 75 percent of the participants were women.

Milk, sugar and fat is the enemy of glowing skin

The results of this one-of-a-kind nutritional survey of adult acne showed that participants who had acne currently consumed considerably more of the following foods compared to those who had never had any acne:

The same people also consumed considerably fewer amounts of the following foods when compared with those who had never had acne:

Of course, single-day measurements need adjustments. And once the researchers made those adjustments, they found that three foods were independently associated with current acne: Milk, sugary beverages and fatty and sugary products. These three foods have something in common, and thats the fact that theyre high in carbohydrates and saturated fatty acids.

The results of this study clearly indicate that adults with an unhealthy dietary pattern who eat more carbs and saturated fats in the form of milk, sugary foods and drinks, and fatty foods are at a much higher risk of suffering from adult acne. Now, if youre in this group and have acne -- have it looked at by a dermatologist in case it is because of an underlying cause. But in the meantime, you know just what you should stop eating, right?

Ashwagandha: 8 Reasons To Include It In Your Diet - NDTV Doctor

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a well-rounded diet is crucial to prolonging your lifespan.

You could also boost your lifespan by doing regular exercise. Its the miracle cure weve all been waiting for, according to the NHS.

Making some small diet or lifestyle changes could help to increase your life expectancy and avoid an early death.

But eating bananas could be one of the easiest ways to boost your overall health, it's been revealed.

"Whether you like your bananas slightly green or freckly, they all come with triple levels of mood-boosting powers," they said in their book 'Eat Better Live Longer - Understand What Your Body Needs To Stay Healthy'.

"They are good sources of carbohydrates [fuel for the brain and muscles], and of tryptophan and vitamin B6 [both of which are needed for production of feel-good chemicals].

"Whats more, bananas improve digestion and may help regulate blood pressure.

"Bananas will ripen at home - if you want to speed up the process, keep them in a bunch or with other fruits."

Eating bananas could also make you feel fuller for longer, as theyre rich in a fibre called pectin, the nutritionists added.

Everyone should aim to eat between three and four bananas every week, they said.

Raw bananas provide the highest nutrient benefits.

While everyone has their own preference for whether they like their bananas yellow or green, their nutrients vary depending on their ripeness.

Emaad is a Certified Nutrition Specialist and Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist who specializes in health, wellness, and fitness. He first found a passion for helping others better their health and overall quality of life. He now uses His years of experience, education, and wisdom to help enrich the lives of those who are struggling with health and wellness.

Nutritionist Emaad shared some insights and secret health foods that could be mixed and matched to prevent any sinful binging. Daily Times talks to the famous nutritionist on healthy snacking, healthy buying and weight loss tips.

Nutrition awareness has changed a lot since Ive been in the field. The most common misconception people had regarding nutrition was that it is only concerned with weight loss and that too through generic, non-therapeutic diets which end up doing more harm than good. Over a period of time a lot of things have changed and a lot of good nutritionists have fought very hard to break this stereotype. We have a long way still to go in Pakistan to make people aware of the full scope of nutritional therapy and its benefits on the wide variety of diseases which conventional medicine has failed to conquer.

I do see a shift happening in the public perception of nutrition. There is a lot of research going on in the field of nutrition and longevity and a lot of attention has been paid to overcoming disease through natural nutrients. Sadly, this research does not make the textbooks of doctors and even nutritionists which makes them unable to guide people with metabolic disease. However, I am very optimistic that through continuing efforts of some nutritionists this knowledge will be widespread and people will be able to eradicate the root cause of their disease instead of just managing symptoms.

This is the biggest myth regarding weight loss that people have held on too many years. They think calories should be the primary focus when it comes to gaining or losing weight. Nothing could be further from the truth. If calories were the main cause of people gaining weight how would you explain people who eat 3000 calories a day and still dont gain a pound of weight and on the other hand people who have been dieting for years and have tried all possible dietary programs fail to show significant results. Some people do end up losing weight but they do such diets that they end up doing more harm to their body than good. They also end up gaining all the weight that they lose after some time. Weight loss depends on the systems and mechanisms of your body concerned with losing weight. If these systems are not functioning properly you would never be able to achieve permanent and long term weight loss no matter how hard you diet or workout.

I dont recommend counting calories at all. I just tell people to eat healthy and stay close to nature when making food choices. Calories from natural sources and processed food is not the same. Getting 1500 calories from vegetables is not the same as getting 1500 calories from fast food.

I wouldnt recommend eating meat sparingly. I would recommend to eat meat at least 3-4 days a week. That is because your body needs protein for many functions to maintain your health. Animal sources of protein provide essential amino acids which cant be produced by your own body and have to be provided to you from an external food source. Animal proteins are complete proteins and provide all the essential amino acids that your body needs. Plant proteins do not provide such amino acids. I would recommend taking 5 ounces of meat a day for 3 days a week.

Yes, there are various foods which serve specific purposes. However, not all people get the therapeutic effect of these foods because everyone has different requirements. Some people require these foods in very large quantities before they begin to see the benefits. In such cases those nutrients have to be provided in combination with other nutrients in supplement form to make sure the therapeutic effects are achieved.

While we are talking about healthy foods, what suggestions do you have for young, single people living away from home who want to eat right but have a tight budget for food?

My advice to everybody is the same. Stay close to nature, follow a balanced diet and avoid refined, processed and preserved food at all costs especially white rice, refined flour and sugar along with many other products. These should never be a component of anybodys diet.

I would also like to inform you regarding the method of my treatment:

My method is not just based on giving diet plans for a solution. Diet plans are generic, non-therapeutic and most of them end up doing more harm than good in the long run. The best way to make your body healthy, to treat any or all issues, is to make sure that the systems of your body concerned with maintaining health are functioning properly. The root cause of any disease is linked to ones bodys systems not functioning properly and this malfunction can be traced back to nutritional deficiencies. In order to reverse the symptoms and treat the root cause these nutritional deficiencies have to be overcome.

Unfortunately, this cant be achieved by prescribing a simple diet. I accomplish that by identifying the root cause and treating that with natural nutrients i.e vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids, essential fatty acids and sometimes herbs. These nutrients are required by your body on a daily basis to function accurately. If you dont provide your body with enough nutrients, your body becomes deficient and it is unable to maintain your health. As time passes, nutrient requirements increase and it becomes increasingly difficult to overcome those with a diet. Hence nutrients have to be provided to the body in a supplement form to restore health, suppress symptoms and eradicate the root cause.

The question is why do I use nutrients instead of conventional medical treatment. The answer is

The Prophet () said, There is no disease that Allah has created, except that He also has created its treatment. This implies that if you want to restore your bodys health and treat various diseases you have to give it nourishment from the foods that were created for you. Nutrients help rectify almost ALL diseases such as thyroid problems, mental health issues, stomach ailments, and many more.

A Conversation with Emmad on Diet, Foods, and Nutrition - Daily Times

Saray Stancic, M.D. ran her first marathon in 2010. This coming October, she will walk 25 miles to commemorate the 25th anniversary of her diagnosis with MS. Shewas supposed to be in a wheelchair by now.

As a young resident, she received a diagnosis that would change her life. "Oneday, I woke up in the middle of a call, unable to feel my legs."It led to a series of tests and the devastating news that she had MS. "They told me I could expect to bewheelchair-bound in 10 to 15 years." This, however, is not what happened.

"I was a young doctor, and so I took all the meds and did all the things my doctors advised and I kept getting worse. Then I read an article about a doctor who hadtreated MS patients with diet changes and had amazing results."

She immediately began researching more and eventually that work led Dr. Stancic to adopt a plant-based diet and successfully overcome her chronic condition. She has a collection of canes and crutches in her basement, she says, a reminder of what might have been, had she not taken her own fate into her hands and changed her diet. Now, she is able to manage her condition through lifestyle changes. She believes patients need to be educated about lifestyle interventions, and this education needs to start with doctors and the medical community itself.

Her triumphant story is now the subject of a documentary, Code Blue, which describes why medicines most powerful tool is almost never prescribed. She is out to change that.

Dr. Stancic:The true cause is to change the way the medical community views nutrition. She is on a mission to get hospitals and doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals of all types to understand the power of a plant-based diet, get fast food and junk out of hospitals, and make nutrition an integral part of medical training.

"They used to let you smoke in hospitals," she points out. "Now that is absurd.Once we knew better we realized this was unacceptable and we banned smokingin health care settings.

Today, unhealthy food is a modern-day cigarette. Having a Burger King inside of Rutgers New Jersey Medical Schools University Hospital in Newark is absurd. I have protested it and collected names in a petition to facilitate needed change. This serves as a bad example for the community of patients, employees, and medical students."The example starts with the doctor, she adds. "Studies show that if a doctor eats a healthy diet and exercises, they are more likely to counsel their patients on optimal lifestyle," Stancic says.

Here is her inspiring story, and howshe is spreading this "healingmessage far and wide."Dr. Stancic: I am an infectious disease specialist who started my career in the1990s during the HIV epidemic. As a young woman, I was diagnosed with multiplesclerosis and I was very ill, taking all these medications and depending on a cane.As a young resident, I was really struggling.

"Then one day I came across an article about the effect of diet and chronic illness and specifically about their effects on MS, both on risk and outcomes. Dr. RoySwank wrote an article in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) in 1952and proposed saturated fat consumption increased the risk of MS. He was looking at the incidence of MS in Norway and saw that those who were consuming a diet high in animal fat had a higher rate of MS. So he started treating patients with a low-fat, plant-based diet. He followed 140 patients over 34 years and he found that 95 percent of those who followed the diet remained disability-free.

"Here I was, a physician at 32 and struggling, and questioned why nutrition and the connection between diet and illness had not been taught to me in medical school.

This offered me a glimmer of hope. It wasn't just Swank, but others too, and it wasn't just diet, but exercise and sleep hygiene and stress relief. These lifestyle interventions appeared to be powerful in better managing my MS. Of course, I went to my physician and he didn't think there was any merit in it.

"So, I had to take my treatment into my own hands and I adopted a plant-baseddiet because the overwhelming body of evidence pointed to the fact that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds was the optimal diet not only for MS but for all of us. I responsibly tapered off all my medicines over time while optimizing every aspect of my lifestyle.

It's been 25 years and I take no medicines and I am physically active every day. On October 11, 2020, I am going to walk 25 miles to commemorate 25 years since my diagnosis. And they told me I'd be in a wheelchair within 10 to 20 years. Idon't even have a cane. I have a collection of canes and crutches in my basement.I don't need them.

"My hope is to bring change to an antiquated medical education model.Doctors are not getting this education which is particularly important in our world today. The rates of obesity, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases are all rising. I am an infectious disease specialist who has evolved into a preventive medicine advocate.

This may be more important than ever before in the current era of the COVID-19 pandemic. We know that those who have the worst outcomes, including death, from COVID-19, are more likely to also suffer from obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. We can prevent 80 percent of heart disease. Isn't it tragic? Every year about 600,000 people die from heart disease and we could save about 480,000 of them.

"Even the way we train physicians is inhuman. They are on-call 24 hours at atime so they have no time to eat or sleep and no time to exercise. The hospital setting should be the shining example of an optimally healthy environment. Fast food restaurants within healthcare settings should be unacceptable. How can we servefood that promotes chronic disease at an institution whose mission it is to heal?

"We need to change medical school and the hospital's food environment. Our patients in the hospital who are healing and recovering from illness should be fed aplant-based diet. We can't serve bacon and eggs and buttered pancakes tosomeone recovering from a heart attack or heart surgery.

"You used to be able to smoke in the hospital in the 1960s. Today we know better. Today, we know that these foods are fueling chronic diseases like diabetes,obesity, hypertension, and heart disease. And those illnesses are fueling theCOVID-19 crisis; this is like a perfect storm, resulting in catastrophic endpoints.How can you ignore that?

"We need to change medical school education, to incorporate the value of prevention and lifestyle intervention as an important therapeutic tool. The doctorwho is personally engaged in healthy behaviors is more likely to counsel andeducate their patients on these interventions as well.

"I work with patients in supporting the adoption of optimal lifestyle choices;this type of medical practice is called lifestyle medicine. I support them in optimizing the six pillars of optimal health which include diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, avoiding substance abuse, and social interconnectedness. I spend 2 hours with each patient and help them understand they don't have to be hypertensive or obese or have heart disease. We can all make these changes andin turn, live happier and healthier lives.

"I also mentor young doctors and help them understand the practice oflifestyle medicine because we want all physicians in the future to be skilled andeducated on how to offer this all-important intervention to their patients.

"I am not against medication or pharmaceuticals. I think it is an important part of our toolbox. I am an infectious disease specialist; where would we be without antibiotics or antivirals? But many of the chronic diseases we treat with medicines are preventable. Only a sliver of research budgets like at the NIH are allocated for prevention. We need to place more emphasis and value on preventive interventions. While therapeutic advances in medicine are important, we know that prevention is always preferred over cure.

"In 2010 I ran a marathon. It was an extraordinary moment for me. I amblessed and hope to spread this healing message far and wide."

Seven of the top 10 causes of death in America are chronic diseases, two ofwhich, heart disease and cancer, account for nearly 50% of all deaths.

"U.S. health care costs are approaching 3 trillion dollars per year with 86% of these dollars going to manage chronic illnesses. Yet, studies tell us that by changing our lifestyle, including diet, physical activity, cigarette smoking, and managing body weight, we can prevent nearly 80% of chronic diseases that gravely compromise our quality of life. We have to change this paradigm."

Back pain could be caused by sleeping in the wrong position, having bad posture, or even by having a minor injury.

In most cases, back pain isnt anything to worry about, and itll get better by itself within a few weeks or months.

One of the easiest ways to limit your chances of backache is to add red grapes to your diet, according to ChiroCare of Florida's chiropractor Dr Michael Levine.

Grapes contain an antioxidant-like compound known as resveratrol, which helps to relieve back pain.

"The powerful compound present in red grapes, resveratrol, has gained popularity thanks to its antioxidant properties.

"But, resveratrol can also help block enzymes that contribute to tissue degeneration, which can lead to cartilage damage, and subsequently lead to back pain.

"Other foods rich in resveratrol include raspberries, cranberries, and red wine."

Other than red grapes, you could also lower your risk of back pain by drinking green tea.

When it comes to bodybuilding, diet and nutrition is one of the key elements that will make or break a good physique. You can train all you want but without the right diet it wont add up to much. So it makes sense that a wide variety of diets try to make claim as the best nutritional option in bodybuilding. But are these simply passing trends? In our latest GI Exclusive interview, Evan Centopani explains why trend diets can be a problem for bodybuilders looking to sculpt the perfect physique.

Evan Centopani is a bodybuilder that has a great interest in perfecting nutrition. So much so that he publishes regular YouTube videos breaking down details on how to eat right. He even provides cooking recipes and how-tos to help bodybuilders expand their diets while staying on point.

So during our conversation with Evan we wanted to get his thoughts on the recent trends of diets hitting the bodybuilding community. Namely the big three that seem to get talked about a lot right now the keto diet, the carnivor diet, and the vegan diet. Each of these eating philosophies exist well beyond bodybuilding. But they are also taking hold in the sport as well. Is there something about these diets that actually help bolster a bodybuilding lifestyle? Or are they just trends for people seeking the next quick fix to make bodybuilding nutrition easier?

Evan Centopani can relate the closest to the keto diet. Hes tried it before himself and had some great results. But he also warns of what happens if you start to break out of that diet. He had some issues transitioning back into a normal diet causing some frustrating setbacks in his physique.

When it comes to the bigger picture Centopani believes that most of these diets cant make up for the tried and true formula of having a balanced diet. We are biologically omnivores its what best suits us to get the vitamins, nutritionist, and energy we need to function. Each body is different and requires a fine tuning of what works best to build the best physique. Sticking strictly to any of these diet rules could ultimately do more harm than good when it comes to your physique.

Centopani does make one exception when it comes to veganism. If a person refuses to eat anything made from meat because of moral grounds on animal life, thats that persons agenda. That goes beyond health and bodybuilding. A persons moral belief should be respected.

If you want to see Evan Centopanis full response, check out our latest GI Exclusive interview segment above.

The consumption of fruit juice for young children has long remained controversial. In 2017, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), updated their guidelines on fruit juice for the first time in 16 years. The new guidelines state that, overall, small amounts of the drink in moderation is fine for older kids, but its not a good substitute for fresh fruit. Now, however, one study is saying that the consumption of 100% fresh fruit juice in the preschool years may lead to a healthier diet later on.

The study, conducted by researchers from Boston University and published online at BMC Nutrition, looked at data from 100 children enrolled in the Framingham Childrens Study at 36years of age and subsequently followed them for 10years afterward. The researchers collected data annually from families, which consisted of multiple sets of 3-day diet records of the kids. They also tracked the kids height and weight through the years.

The study found that preschoolers who consumed 100 percent fruit juice were associated with higher intakes of whole fruit and had better diet quality through childhood and into adolescence. Preschoolers who consumed more fruit juice (one cup or more a day) in the early years of childhood in this study also consumed more whole fruit at the same time and continued to consume more whole fruit into adolescence. On the other hand, preschoolers who consumed less than half a cup of 100 percent fruit juice as preschoolers, were more likely to not consume whole fruit later on. The researchers also didnt find an association between fruit juice consumption and BMI change throughout childhood.

The current results suggest that the nutritional benefits of moderate intakes of fruit juice (above current recommendations) during early childhood are not accompanied by excessive weight gain. Therefore, these results provide no support for the recommendation to eliminate 100% fruit juice from federal child nutrition programs, the study states. These findings are consistent with and extend the results of previous cross-sectional studies of the association between 100% fruit juice consumption and diet quality.

The study, in contradicting the AAP guidelines, questions whether there may be a gap in evidence. However, according to pediatrician Dina DiMaggio, MD, parents are better off following AAP guidelines until there is more information. This is interesting data, albeit it is one small study, in favor of giving children fruit juice. The AAP states that fruit juice contains empty calories, can lead to obesity and can also cause cavities, which makes sense, she tells The Bump. I think most pediatricians will still recommend fruit juice in limited amounts until further research is done.
