A recent study by researchers at the University of Minnesota and Nutrition Research & Regulatory Affairs highlights that eating beans and chickpeas, whether canned or dried, enhances intake of crucial nutrients like fiber, potassium, magnesium, and choline, supporting both overall health and digestive wellness. Using NHANES data from 2001-2018, the study modeled the inclusion of… Read More
A recent study published in Nutrients highlights the potential of a hydroxytyrosol-enriched derivative from olive oil wastewater as a promising natural solution for cardiovascular health. Rich in polyphenolic compounds, this extract demonstrated strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, effectively reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in human cells. It showed potential cardiovascular benefits, including reducing heart… Read More
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly EPA, are emerging as powerful allies in slowing down the aging process. These essential fats help maintain energy metabolism by boosting fatty acid β-oxidation and ATP production in aging organs, reducing lipid accumulation and promoting lipid balance. As natural agonists of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), Omega-3 PUFAs enhance… Read More
Preliminary research on the fruit of Dichrostachys glomerata suggests it may support weight loss and wellness outcomes. In a recent double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 56 overweight and mildly obese adults (average BMI of 31.66) were administered either 300 mg/day of D. glomerata (DYG-400®) or a placebo for 60 days. Results showed that the D. glomerata group… Read More
Two University of Arizona professors, Dr. Floyd Chilton and Dr. Joel Cuello, are pioneering a sustainable spirulina-based solution to address global food insecurity and malnutrition. Their work centers on cultivating spirulina, a high-protein cyanobacteria, in cost-effective bioreactors designed to operate in climate-affected regions. Spirulina, with 78% protein per dry weight, offers complete essential amino acids… Read More
