Scientists find a new link between fructose and diabetes, aggravated by dietary fat.
This study suggested that providing extra dietary omega-3 DHA, especially for those carrying the ApoE4 gene (which approximately doubles an individual's susceptibility to develop Alzheimer's Disease) might slow the development of AD.
Many people with ADHD may not be aware of just how much the condition can influence their eating habits. And if left unchecked, these poor eating habits could eventually affect their mental and physical health.
When it comes to weight loss, the old adage saying it's all in your head may be true. Findings from a new study show that the brain network properties of people who were less successful at weight loss were different from folks who were more successful
The Age-Related Eye Disease Studies (AREDS and AREDS2) established that dietary supplements can slow progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the most common cause of blindness in older Americans.
This research reveals a clinical overlap between IBD and depression, and is the first study to investigate the two-way association between these conditions in siblings.
Providing caregivers easy access to fresh produce and flexible resources can lead to improvements in kids' diets in a short time, according to a new study.
Brain ageing is accelerated by up to 26% in those with progressive type 2 diabetes.
Dairy milk is a rich source of many important nutrients, such as protein, calcium, iodine and vitamin B12 - many plant-based dairy alternatives don’t naturally contain the same amount of these nutrients and micronutrients as dairy milk, if any at all.
Here's a good reason for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to eat their fruits and vegetables: It may help reduce inattention issues, a new study suggests.
The nutrient choline—shown to have long-term benefits for children whose mothers consume it during pregnancy—also helps the body more efficiently use an omega 3 fatty acid that is essential for foetal brain, cognition and vision development, a new study finds.
Medical doctors and psychologists should consider referring depressed young men to a nutritionist or dietitian as an important component of treating clinical depression, according to a new study
Children with ADHD and emotional dysregulation who were given a micronutrient-dense formula made of all known vitamins and essential minerals were three times more likely to have better concentration and improved moods, according to a new study
A new study has found a "bi-directional" relationship between gastrointestinal issues and internalized symptoms in children and adolescents with autism—meaning the symptoms seem to be impacting each other simultaneously.
The authors of this study concluded that there is an association between ADHD and dietary habits, and children with inattentive presentation may be at increased risk of unhealthy eating habits.
Pioneering research has shed new light on what drives people's basic food preferences, indicating our choices may be smarter than previously thought and influenced by the specific nutrients, as opposed to just calories, we need.
Findings from this research demonstrate that a direct dialog occurs between the gut microbiota and the brain, a discovery that could lead to new therapeutic approaches for tackling metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity.
The research suggests that restricting food in front of children who are already more motivated by food tends to backfire and makes children crave restricted foods even more. What seems to work best is known as 'covert restriction'—not letting children know that some foods are restricted.
US population data from 2011-16 show that teenagers with diets high in ultra-processed foods and drinks, vs those with the lowest intakes, were 45% more likely to be obese, 52% more likely to have abdominal obesity (excess fat around the waist) and 63% more likely to have visceral obesity (excess fat on and around the abdominal organs), which correlates closely with risks for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.
