A score appraising Paleolithic diet and the risk of cardiovascular disease in a Mediterranean prospective cohort
ConclusionsOur findings suggest that the PaleoDiet may have cardiovascular benefits in participants from a Mediterranean country. Avoidance of ultra-processed foods seems to play a key role in this inverse association.

Modelling the impact of compliance fruit and vegetable intake recommendations on mortality in Russia
ConclusionsThe modelling illustrates the potentially large social benefits of compliance with national fruit and vegetable intake recommendations.Key messagesDespite strong evidence indicating that low fruit and vegetable intake relates to chronic diseases and mortality, most adults do not comply with dietary recommendations.The modelling illustrates the potentially large social benefits of compliance with national fruit and vegetable intake recommendations.

Is fruit intake associated with common carotid intima-media thickness?
ConclusionsWe found only a non-significant association between consuming>2 portions of fruit per day and ccIMT. Thus, our study could not confirm a negative effect of fruit intake on ccIMT. Age, sex, and homocysteine may confound this association.Key messagesCurrent recommendations of 2 portions of fruit per day seem adequate and do not negatively influence carotid intima-media thickness.Future studies should address confounding of the association between fruit intake and cardiovascular risk markers.

Fisetin, potential flavonoid with multifarious targets for treating neurological disorders: An updated review
Eur J Pharmacol. 2021 Sep 10:174492. doi: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2021.174492. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeurodegenerative disorders pose a significant health burden and imprint a debilitative impact on the quality of life. Importantly, aging is intricately intertwined with the progression of these disorders, and their prevalence increases with a rise in the aging population worldwide. In recent times, fisetin emerged as one of the potential miracle molecules to address neurobehavioral and cognitive abnormalities. These effects were attributed to its actions on several macromolecules and multiple molecular mechanisms. Fisetin...

Burden of cardiovascular disease from 1990 to 2017 in Henan Province, China
CONCLUSIONS: The absolute burden of CVDs in Henan is still high, although age-standardized DALYs declined between 1990 and 2017. The prevention and control of stroke and ischemic heart diseases should focus on a few modifiable risk factors which mainly contributed to the burden of CVDs, such as dietary factors, high systolic blood pressure, and tobacco use.PMID:34420496 | DOI:10.1080/16549716.2021.1959708

City Heat is Worse if You ’re Not Rich or White. The World’s First Heat Officer Wants to Change That
Jane Gilbert knows she doesn’t get the worst of the sticky heat and humidity that stifles Miami each summer. She lives in Morningside, a coastal suburb of historically preserved art deco and Mediterranean-style single-family homes. Abundant trees shade the streets and a bay breeze cools residents when they leave their air conditioned cars and homes. “I live in a place of privilege and it’s a beautiful area,” says Gilbert, 58, over Zoom in early June, shortly after beginning her job as the world’s first chief heat officer, in Miami Dade county. “But you don’t have to go far to see t...

Therapeutic potential of catalpol and geniposide in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases: a snapshot of their underlying mechanisms
Brain Res Bull. 2021 Jun 30:S0361-9230(21)00194-5. doi: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2021.06.020. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRehmannia glutinosa, the fresh or dried root of Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn.) Libosch. ex Fisch. & Mey., and Gardenia, the fruit of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis from Rubiaceae, both are famous traditional Chinese medicines that have been traditionally used in China. Catalpol and geniposide, as two kinds of iridoid glycosides with high activities, are the main bioactive components in Rehmannia glutinosa and Gardenia jasminoides Ellis, respectively. Over the past few decades, catalpol and geniposide hav...

Study suggests scientists may need to rethink which genes control aging
(NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) National Institutes of Health researchers fed fruit flies antibiotics and monitored the lifetime activity of hundreds of genes that scientists have traditionally thought control aging. To their surprise, the antibiotics not only extended the lives of the flies but also dramatically changed the activity of many of these genes. Their results suggested that only about 30% of the genes traditionally associated with aging set an animal's internal clock while the rest reflect the body's response to bacteria.

Potassium
Adv Food Nutr Res. 2021;96:89-121. doi: 10.1016/bs.afnr.2021.02.013. Epub 2021 May 24.ABSTRACTPotassium is an essential nutrient that performs a vital role in cellular functions including maintaining fluid balance and osmolality of cells. Potassium balance is maintained by the kidney and the majority of ingested potassium is excreted in the urine. There is strong evidence of a negative association between dietary potassium and blood pressure, and some evidence (much of it indirect) of negative associations between dietary potassium and cardiovascular disease (particularly stroke and coronary heart disease) and kidney disea...
