Pregnant moms and their offspring should limit added sugars in their diets to protect childhood cognition A new study has determined that poorer childhood cognition occurred, particularly in memory and learning, when pregnant women or their offspring consumed greater quantities of sugar. Substituting diet soda for sugar-sweetened versions during pregnancy also appeared to have negative effects. However, children's fruit consumption had beneficial effects and was associated with higher cognitive scores. ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png #Nutrition #Research ...

The bugs in your gut could make you weak in the knees: A prebiotic may alter the obese microbiome and protect against osteoarthritis

The bugs in your gut could make you weak in the knees Scientists have long thought that osteoarthritis in people who are obese was a consequence of excess wear and tear on joints, but a new study suggests that the microbiome is the culprit. The study shows that a high fat diet (like the Western diet) can alter gut microbes, increase inflammation throughout the body, and speed deterioration of joints. An interesting twist: a common dietary supplement overturned these effects in mice. ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png #Nutrition #Research ...

Obesity linked with higher chance of developing rapid, irregular heart rate People with obesity are more likely to develop a rapid and irregular heart rate, called atrial fibrillation, which can lead to stroke, heart failure and other complications, according to Penn State researchers. They found that people with obesity had a 40 percent higher chance of developing atrial fibrillation than people without obesity. ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png #Nutrition #Research ...
