Get Enough Nutrients From Diet?

From eNewsletter 9/11/2024

DID YOU KNOW that you don't need to be a world-beater with exercise as long as you're not sedentary for most of the day?

Results from a new study in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism show that even low physical activity level combined with less than 6 hours daily of sedentary time reduces the risk for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. Whereas only moderate-rigorous physical activity benefits those sedentary for more than 6 hours each day.

The risks for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality were 64% and 66% higher, respectively, in the high sedentary behavior group than in the low sedentary behavior group. A stark reminder that you have to get up and move throughout the day. If you work in an office setting, get an adjustable desk. If at home, set a timer every 30-45 minutes to get up and move around.

Which Water Filter is Good?

DID YOU KNOW that several studies were just published about how important it is to protect our young people from excess inflammation?

According to one study from JAMA Psychiatry, low-grade systemic inflammation, tracked by C-reactive protein blood level screening, peaking in midchildhood was associated with specific mental and cardiometabolic disorders in young adulthood.

Another study from JAMA Psychiatry expanded the inflammatory biomarker screening in young persons to include leukocytes, haptoglobin, C-reactive protein, and IgG. They were all found to be associated with a risk of inflammation-related psychiatric disorders, and should be used for high-risk population identification.

Finally, a study from The Journal of Nutrition found that elevated cow milk antibody concentrations (IgG) and high consumption of liquid milk after infancy are related to type 1 diabetes development in children (diabetes is a chronic inflammatory disease). According to the authors, cow milk intolerance screening is a strong biomarker for young immune systems prone to developing islet autoimmunity and should be emphasized.
