The study, led by Professor Vijayshree Yadav at the Oregon Health &amp; Science University, indicates a notable reduction in fatigue levels among MS patients who reduced their daily caloric intake by 19%. With no FDA-approved drug specifically for MS-related fatigue, these findings underscore the potential impact of dietary modifications on patients&#8217; quality of life. The 16-week randomized trial involved 39 participants with MS and fatigue. One group followed a low-fat diet, while the control group maintained their regular diet. The study revealed a significant decrease in fatigue among those on the low-fat diet, emphasizing the potential role of nutrition in managing this debilitating symptom. Participants in the active group received nutrition counseling and adhered to a 12-week low-fat diet, monitored through routine blood sampling. Biomarkers confirmed adherence to the dietary regimen. Assessments included 24-hour diet recalls, a food frequency questionnaire, and the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale. These findings support earlier research suggesting the positive impact of low-fat diets on MS-related fatigue. While a 2016 study focused on plant-based diets, the recent research incorporated low-fat meat products, emphasizing the flexibility of dietary approaches. Notably, the study contrasts with the potential long-term drawbacks of high-fat diets, which have been linked to increased caloric consumption and weight gain. The research highlights the importance of individualized dietary interventions in managing symptoms and improving the overall well-being of MS patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Source:<\/strong> https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/13524585231208330<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em>Reducing calorie intake may offer relief from fatigue in individuals battling multiple sclerosis (MS), according to recent research.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":551,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/snips.nutrifytoday.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/snips.nutrifytoday.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/snips.nutrifytoday.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snips.nutrifytoday.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snips.nutrifytoday.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=550"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/snips.nutrifytoday.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":552,"href":"https:\/\/snips.nutrifytoday.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550\/revisions\/552"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snips.nutrifytoday.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/snips.nutrifytoday.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snips.nutrifytoday.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snips.nutrifytoday.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
