Whole Grains Proved to Increase Life Expectancy

January 6, 2015 By Janet Vasquez Leave a Comment

whole grains proved to increase life expectancyAlthough we all know that whole grains proved to be better for our bodies, rather than rice or any sort of processed cereal, today we get to know just how much better. When mentioning whole grains, the following studies refer to brown rice, whole wheat, and whole oats.

The Harvard School of Public Health has conducted a study which shows that a person can lower the risk of heart attacks and other diseases by eating a portion of whole grains daily. Nevertheless, the whole grains by themselves, without any physical exercises and a balanced diet would prove useless, evidently. Accordingly, people bring the argument that whole grains lovers also have a healthier lifestyle, so scientist should not give the credit to whole grains specifically.

However, the researchers found out that the benefits come most likely from the bran. This means that the bran, the healthy coating of whole wheat and brown rice covering the germ, the inner part, is the miracle worker.

In order to reach these conclusions, Hongyu Wu from the Harvard School of Public Health and his colleagues based their theory on two very detailed health studies: the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, (approximately 44,000 men from 1986 to 2010), and the Nurses’ Health Study (covering 74,000 women between 1984 and 2010).

The studies proved to give tremendous insight to scientists, containing detailed information about the volunteers: their medical exams, what/when/how often they eat, whether they smoke, exercise, and so on.

During the studies, 29,920 of the volunteers died. Considering their age, weight, and other factors, the researchers concluded that the regular consumer of whole grains had a lower predisposition to dying, and the rate of heart disease was inferior. One area in which eating whole grains didn’t have an effect was the risk of dying from cancer.

If you are wondering why are whole grains better for you, here you have the answer: they contain more beneficial nutrients than processed grains, such as vitamin E, fiber, and magnesium. They are also great for preventing DNA damage, decreasing inflammation and helping the consumer reduce the risk of diabetes.

The authors of the study also discovered that substituting red meat with a serving of whole grains would bring more benefit and would reduce by 20 percent the chances of cardiovascular diseases.

Diabetes Treatment Cost Decreased through Healthy Lifestyle

August 22, 2014 By Jack M. Robinson Leave a Comment

A new study found that people with type 2 diabetes who have increased their daily healthy eating cut their costs with an average of 500 dollars a year.

5,121 people aged between 45 and 76 were part of the experiment. The control group only benefited of three sessions of diabetes support and education a year, whereas the trial group had a dietary plan and a physical activity schedule for 10 years. Results indicated that a healthy lifestyle can reduce the diabetes treatment cost due to less hospitalizations, less hospital days, and because of reduction of medication, when compared to individuals from the control group. Both groups benefited from medical assistance and care during this time, so this is a sign that a change in your eating habits could improve your condition if you struggle with type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes treatment cost reduced by healthy lifestyle, but not for Patients with Records of Cardiovascular Disease

This shouldn’t be surprising. Other recent studies have shown cardiovascular problems to be associated with diabetics, and obviously not in a good way. Although the study seems promising, there are some limitations to how easy can we generalize the results to other groups suffering from diabetics. Mostly this is because of a specific medical care required for those in the study and because results were estimated based on self-reports of patients, which might be biased because of variations in self-evaluation due to lack of medical expertise of patient. Emotions associated with the disease should be taken into account as well.

Diabetes Treatment Cost can be reduced by adopoting a healthy lifestyle

According to Diabetes Care, where the results were published, the type of intervention endured by the individuals from the trial group was an ideal type of healthy eating behavior, called intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI). This is another change that might not occur in the situated lives of patients when they try to approach eating in a different manner. So, although diabetics’ healthy lifestyles changes can, on  a long term, result in a lower diabetes treatment cost, there are, in fact, a myriad of other influences that might interfere with the good results of this change: the degree of physical damage already suffered because of the illness, other uncontrolled life events that might occur during 10 years, other multiple health conditions, fluctuation in medical services provisions (interruptions, changes to a less advantageous care plan, or, on the contrary, to a better care plan, termination or lack of medical health insurance).

Way to healthy lifestyle is just 30 minutes of exercise

September 19, 2013 By Janet Vasquez Leave a Comment

Every health expert suggests you to engage in exercise. But we often wonder how much hours of exercise will suffice our requirement.

A new study suggests, exercising for 30 minutes on a daily basis can boost energy and encourages people to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Researchers at the University of Copenhagen explain why moderate exercising is more motivating than hard training.

The obesity epidemic has massive socio-economic consequences, and decades of health campaigns have not made significant headway, reports Science Daily.

Researchers at the University of Copenhagen are pursuing the development of a new integrative methods for preventing and treating this widespread problem.

“Obesity is a complex social problem requiring a multidisciplinary approach. In a new scientific article we combine data from biomedical studies of the subjects’ bodies with ethnological data on their experiences during the 13-week trial period. This enables us to explain the background for the surprising fact that 30 minutes of daily exercise is just as beneficial as a full hour of hard fitness training,” says Professor Bente Stallknecht from the Department of Biomedical Sciences at University of Copenhagen.

The findings have been published in Scandinavian Journal of Public Health.

Look younger, combat ageing with healthy lifestyle

September 17, 2013 By Janet Vasquez Leave a Comment

A way to look younger is through a healthy lifestyle. Scientists says balanced diet, few hours of exercise and proper meditation helps in reversing ageing of cells.

The study shows for the first time that comprehensive changes in food habits, physical activities, stress management and social support may result in longer telomeres – the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes that affect how quickly cells age.

We often wonder why we grow older? Scientists say as telomeres become shorter, and as their structural integrity weakens, the cells age and die quicker.

Study

The researchers followed 35 men with localized, early-stage prostate cancer to explore the relationship between comprehensive lifestyle changes and telomere length and telomerase activity.

All the men were engaged in active surveillance for five years. The patients’ condition was closely monitored through screening and biopsies.

Ten of the patients embarked on lifestyle changes that included: a plant-based diet (high in fruits, vegetables and unrefined grains, and low in fat and refined carbohydrates); moderate exercise (walking 30 minutes a day, six days a week); stress reduction (gentle yoga-based stretching, breathing, meditation). They were compared to the other 25 participants. Notably, these men were not asked to make major lifestyle changes.

The group that made the lifestyle changes experienced a ‘significant’ increase in telomere length of 10 percent. Also, the more people changed their behaviour by adhering to the recommended lifestyle programme, the more dramatic their improvements in telomere length, the scientists learned.

The men in the control group who were not asked to alter their lifestyle had shorter telomeres when the five-year study ended.

The study was published in the journal The Lancet Oncology.
