Top 3 healthy ingredients from the Indian diet

Dear Karim,

For those of us who have lived our entire lives in the same country, our own Western diet is all we’ve ever known. We’ve eaten the same foods, struggled with the same health issues, and only in the last few years have we begun to experience an influx of cuisines and food cultures from around the world.

And boy have we been missing out!

You’d be amazed by how healthy some people around the world are thanks to their diet. For example, did you know that Japan has the longest lifespan of any country in the world? Not only that, but one region of the country—the island of Okinawa—has a higher life expectancy than the rest of the country. Can you guess what causes this? You got it: their diet!

Countries that follow diets different from the modern Western diet tend to be healthier overall, have fewer long-term and chronic health problems, and still enjoy a broad variety of foods. That’s not to say that each diet is perfect, but there’s something that can be drawn from each in order to improve our diet.

By pulling bits and pieces—also known as “the healthiest foods”—from each country, you can improve your own eating habits drastically. You can still enjoy all your favorite flavors, and even some new ones, all the while upgrading the nutritional quality of what you put in your body. It will take some getting used to, but the outcome is going to be a healthier, happier you. It’s healthy eating at its core, along with plenty of international culture.

So during the next couple of weeks, I will be taking you to virtual culinary journeys of health through some of the healthiest countries around this wonderful world of ours!

So sit back, relax, and enjoy it ).

Let's first take a trip to India.

You’ll find all sorts of fascinating and delicious ingredients you may have never tried before!

Indian food is rich, spicy, flavorful, and incredibly diverse, with hundreds or even thousands of varieties on their basic dishes. At its core, it’s also surprisingly healthy.

Indian obesity rates have risen in the last few years, but it affects just 5% of the country’s population. Compare that to the U.S., where obesity rates are no less than 25% of the adult population in 48 out of the 50 US States, and you can immediately see the differences!

But what it is about the Indian diet that contributes to lower obesity rates? In what ways is the Indian diet healthier than the Western diet?

Here are a few staple ingredients that make a HUGE difference:

Turmeric

Indian cuisine is known for its many, many spices, all of which contain medicinal properties. Few, however, are as potent as turmeric!

Turmeric, the bright yellow root that adds both its color and flavor to hundreds of Indian dishes, is renowned for its various uses. Indian traditional medicine uses it to heal gastrointestinal problems, speed up wound recovery, combat rheumatic disorders, treat rhinitis, and kill off intestinal parasites.

Studies have proven that turmeric—specifically curcumin, the active antioxidant ingredient in the spice—offers a lot of benefits to your health.

First off, it’s a natural anti-inflammatory agent, which can help to decrease chronic disease, cardiovascular health problems, atherosclerosis, cancer, metabolic syndrome, and more. Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory properties are considered on par with many anti-inflammatory drugs, but with none of the side effects.

It’s also a natural antioxidant, which can neutralize free radicals and can have a chemopreventative effect in the body, inhibiting the enzymes that contribute to inflammation. It may also one day proven to an effective anti-cancer treatment (with further research).

Other benefits may include:

- Improved brain function
- Reduced risk of heart disease
- Improved response in rheumatoid arthritis patients
- And the list goes on!

Ginger

Ginger is another potent and tangy spice added into Indian cuisine. It’s not only incredibly flavorful, but you’ll find that it offers some pretty amazing health benefits.

According to one systematic review of multiple studies, ginger is an amazing spice to use to combat obesity. It has the ability to:

- Reduce lipogenesis, also known as the metabolic formation and storage of fat
- Increase thermogenesis, raising the internal temperature in your body
- Boost your metabolism, specifically increasing lipolysis (fat-burning)
- digestion and decrease stomach upset
- Prevent intestinal fat absorption
- All of these things combine to make ginger a truly potent and effective spice.

But ginger is also a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It’s loaded with zingerone, an antioxidant that works like curcumin in turmeric (see above) to decrease your risk of cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and more.

If you want to be healthier, it’s time to add more ginger into your diet!

Red Chili Peppers

Indian food is famous for being spicy, and a lot of that fame comes from the multiple varieties of red hot chili peppers that are added into the dishes.

Red chili peppers aren’t just good for setting your mouth on fire—they’re also amazing for your health. Here are just a few of the things they can do:

- Fight inflammation, thanks to the anti-inflammatory properties of capsaicin
- Reduce pain associated with inflammatory conditions, including arthritis and psoriasis
- Provide pain relief both topically and internally
- Reduce blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels
- the risk of blood clots
- Lower heart attack and stroke rates
- Clear congestion in the nasal passages
- Boost your immunity to disease
- Prevent stomach ulcers
- Raise your internal temperature and metabolism to help you burn more fat
- Lower Type 2 Diabetes risk

I hope you enjoyed this virtual trip to India with me and you learnt something useful.

And I can't wait to take you to the next country and share with you their healthiest foods.

Have a great rest of the week, Karim.

Much love & health,

Stefan

The dangers of eating fast and 3 tips to reverse this habit

Hey Karim,



When you sit down at the table, how do you eat?


Are you the type of person to savor and enjoy your meals, really tasting each bite? Or do you pound that food like it’s going to disappear?

Sadly, a lot of us fall into the “fast-eating” camp. We tend to blaze through our food at a blistering pace, often eating seconds or thirds before slower eaters have their first plate.

If only we knew how bad that was for our health…

Studies have proven that there are very real dangers of eating fast.

Dear Karim,

Are you ready for the next virtual culinary journey of health?


Today we will visit Japan .


Japan is known for being one of the healthiest countries in the world. In fact, it has the highest longevity rate on Earth, with more people living beyond 100 years old than any other country.


Diet definitely plays a role in their long lives and good health. In fact, one study found that the Japanese dietary guidelines led to a lower total mortality risk, as well as lower cardiovascular mortality rates. In some cases, there was even lower cancer mortality thanks to the Japanese diet guidelines.


So what is it about the Japanese diet that makes it so healthy?


Focus on Fish


The average Japanese eats a LOT of fish. Japanese is an island—and a fairly small one—so there’s not a lot of pasture space for cattle. However, the ocean provides quite the bounty of fish, which the Japanese eat both raw and cooked.


Fish has high Omega-3 fatty acid content. This makes it not only vital for your heart, but also for your brain, your digestive system, and your internal organs.


Pickled and Fermented Foods


Miso and natto (fermented soy beans) are just two of the fermented foods popular in Japan. Pickles—like pickled radish (daikon), eggplant, plums, and cabbage are also popular as garnishes for various dishes. In fact, one of the most popular Japanese sweet treats is the pickled plums known as umeboshi.

Non-fermented pickles tend to contain a lot of vinegar, pickling spices, and herbs, all of which offer a broad range of health benefits. Fermented foods like miso soup and natto are amazing for your gut health, as they encourage the development of healthy gut flora that can help to improve digestion, enhance brain function, and so much more. One study even found that miso soup can help to increase the production of important vitamins (like Vitamin B12 and Vitamin K) in your body.


Reduced Sugar Intake


Unlike the average American diet, Japanese don’t consume a great deal of sugar in their daily meals. For example, while Americans like to start the day with a sweet cup of coffee, Japanese will often have tea with their breakfast.

Westerners love their sodas, lemonades, and sweet teas, but Japanese will often drink teas that are unsweetened. For example, there is a simple unsweetened barley tea served with many meals, used as a palate cleanser between dishes. Or in place of a cold glass of juice, they will drink ice-cold mugicha (another type of barley tea) that is unsweetened.


While the Japanese love sweets—ice cream, sweetened yoghurt, candied apples, and more—the amount of sugar they consume in their diets is far lower than the average Westerner.


Seaweed


Seaweed is one of those amazingly healthy foods that definitely deserve a place in the Western diet, but is found aplenty in the Japanese diet.


Seaweed is loaded with nutrients: copper, calcium, iron, iodine, protein, fiber, folic acid, Vitamin K, and the list goes on. It’s also incredibly low in calories and contains virtually no fat. However, it contains very high quantities of important antioxidants and phytochemicals.


It’s these potent compounds that make seaweed such a valuable and healthy food. Okinawans are the longest-living people in the world, and seaweed is a critical part of their diet. The molecule fucoidans in seaweed is believed to offer a wide of cardioprotective benefits (including reduced blood pressure and enhanced cardiovascular health), as well as boost immunity and improve life expectancy overall.


Green Tea


Green tea is, without a doubt, one of the healthiest beverages on the planet! Experts across the globe can agree that green tea is amazing, thanks to its many health benefits, including:


- Improved blood flow
- Lower cholesterol levels
- Reduced blood pressure
- Reduced risk of congestive heart failure
- Enhanced brain function, specifically in the working-memory areas of the brain
- Blocked formation of plaques that can lead to Alzheimer’s
- Improved blood sugar control
- Reduced risk of diabetes
- Fat-targeting thanks to the mechanisms of the EGCG antioxidant
- Improved cellular growth
- Potentially lower risk of cancer
- Boost of energy without the nervous system-stimulating effects of coffee
- A calming effect, thanks to the theanine in the tea

Japanese will drink almost as much green tea every day as the average Westerner drinks coffee, which can offer a lot of those amazing health benefits listed above.


Matcha green tea takes things one step farther by adding in the ground-up green tea leaves. The higher antioxidant and fiber content of matcha green tea doubles down on the benefits that make green tea such a valuable addition to your diet!


I hope you enjoyed this virtual trip to Japan with me and you learnt something useful.


And I can't wait to take you to the next country and share with you their healthiest foods.


Much love & health,

Carrots

Hi Karim,

You don’t have to be Bugs Bunny to love carrots. They’re a fabulous vegetable and a great source of carotene, fiber, and important micronutrients like potassium, B vitamins, vitamin C, and vitamin K1. Studies tell us that they may be good for your eyes, heart, immune system, and blood sugar balance. They might even help fight cancer!

But is it best to eat them raw, or cooked? Is it important to buy them organically grown? Which varieties are best? And how should you prepare them?

Here’s what you need to know about carrots.

10 Lessons We’ve Learned About Eating Well

Water vs. seltzer? Can food affect the brain? We’ve rounded up useful research on diet and nutrition to stay healthy in the new year.



As 2021 came to a close, we looked back on our reporting on diet and nutrition to glean tips we could bring into a new year. Here are 10 findings to remember next time you head to the supermarket or to the kitchen.

1. Look at patterns in your diet, rather than focusing on “good” or “bad” foods.

In October, the American Heart Association released new dietary guidelines to improve the hearts and health of Americans of all ages and life circumstances. Instead of issuing a laundry list of “thou shalt not eats,” the committee focused on how people could make lifelong changes, taking into account each individual’s likes and dislikes as well as ethnic and cultural practices and life circumstances. “For example, rather than urging people to skip pasta because it’s a refined carbohydrate, a more effective message might be to tell people to eat it the traditional Italian way, as a small first-course portion,” Jane Brody explained.

A Heart-Healthy Way to Eat https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/29/well ... pe=Article

2. What you eat can affect your mental health.

As people grappled with higher levels of stress, depression and anxiety during the pandemic, many turned to their favorite comfort foods: ice cream, pastries, pizza, hamburgers. But studies in an emerging field of research known as nutritional psychiatry, which looks at the relationship between diet and mental wellness, suggest that the sugar-laden and high-fat foods we often crave when we are stressed or depressed, as comforting as they may seem, are the least likely to benefit our mental health. Whole foods such as vegetables, fruit, fish, eggs, nuts and seeds, beans and legumes and fermented foods like yogurt may be a better bet.

“The idea that eating certain foods could promote brain health, much the way it can promote heart health, might seem like common sense,” Anahad O’Connor wrote in his story on the research. “But historically, nutrition research has focused largely on how the foods we eat affect our physical health, rather than our mental health.”

How Food May Improve Your Mood https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/06/well ... pe=Article

3. Coffee has health benefits.

Coffee is beloved by many, but its health benefits have often been called into question. The latest assessments this year of the health effects of coffee and caffeine, however, were reassuring. Their consumption has been linked to a reduced risk of all kinds of ailments, including Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, gallstones, depression, suicide, cirrhosis, liver cancer, melanoma and prostate cancer.

The Health Benefits of Coffee https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/14/well ... pe=Article

4. Our microbiome is largely shaped by what we eat.

Scientists know that the trillions of bacteria and other microbes that live in our guts play an important role in health, influencing our risk of developing obesity, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and a wide range of other conditions. In 2021, a large international study found that the composition of these microorganisms, collectively known as our microbiomes, is largely shaped by what we eat. Researchers learned that a diet rich in nutrient-dense, whole foods supported the growth of beneficial microbes that promoted good health. Eating a diet full of highly processed foods with added sugars, salt and other additives had the opposite effect, promoting gut microbes that were linked to worse cardiovascular and metabolic health.

5. Highly processed foods may actually be addictive.

Potato chips, ice cream, pizza and more unhealthy foods continue to dominate the American diet, despite being linked to obesity, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and other health problems. “They are cheap and convenient, and engineered to taste good. They are aggressively marketed by the food industry,” Mr. O’Connor reported in a story about new research on whether these foods are not just tempting, but addictive. The notion has sparked controversy among researchers, he said. One study found that certain foods were especially likely to elicit “addictive-like” eating behaviors, such as intense cravings, a loss of control, and an inability to cut back despite experiencing harmful consequences and a strong desire to stop eating them. But other experts pointed out that these foods do not cause an altered state of mind, a hallmark of addictive substances.

Unhealthy Foods Aren’t Just Bad For You, They May Also Be Addictive https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/18/well ... pe=Article

6. Seltzer isn’t the same as water.

Unsweetened carbonated water is a better choice than soda or fruit juice, Christina Caron reported, but it probably shouldn’t be your main source of water. Seltzer has the potential to be erosive to your teeth, experts told her, and carbonated beverages can contribute to gas and bloating, Ms. Caron wrote.

Read the full story:
Is Carbonated Water Just as Healthy as Still Water?
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/14/well ... pe=Article

7. You don’t need eight glasses of water per day.

Unique factors like body size, outdoor temperature and how hard you’re breathing and sweating will determine how much water you need, an expert told Alice Callahan for her story on what it really means to “stay hydrated.” “For most young, healthy people, the best way to stay hydrated is simply to drink when you’re thirsty,” she learned. “Those who are older, in their 70s and 80s, may need to pay more attention to getting sufficient fluids because the thirst sensation can decrease with age.”

Read the fully story:
How Much Water Do You Actually Need? https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/17/well ... pe=Article

8. Eating fermented foods may improve your health.

Yogurt, kimchi and kombucha have long been dietary staples in many parts of the world. But this year, as Mr. O’Connor reported, scientists discovered that these fermented foods may alter the makeup of the trillions of bacteria, viruses and fungi that inhabit our intestinal tracts, collectively known as the gut microbiome. They may also lead to lower levels of body-wide inflammation, which scientists increasingly link to a range of diseases tied to aging.

Read the full story:
How Fermented Foods May Alter Your Microbiome and Improve Your Health https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/13/well ... pe=Article

9. There is a dietary plan to ward off heartburn.

Acid reflux is among the most frequent health complaints of American adults, and may have become even more common in the wake of pandemic-related stress and weight gain. Jane Brody covered new research that showed that those who adhered to five key lifestyle characteristics — including exercise and following a Mediterranean-style diet, featuring fruits and vegetables, fish, poultry and whole grains — were more likely to ward off discomfort from the most persistent and potentially serious form of reflux.

5 Diet and Lifestyle Measures to Ward Off Heartburn
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/23/well ... pe=Article


10. Fruits and vegetables may boost your brain.

A study first published in July found that flavonoids, the chemicals that give plant foods their bright colors, may help curb the frustrating forgetfulness and mild confusion that older people often complain about with advancing age. Further follow-up would be needed to determine whether foods might affect the risk of developing dementia, and there are also broader policy issues at play, making it difficult for everyone to access fresh fruits and vegetables, Nicholas Bakalar reported. But, experts agreed these are foods you should be eating for brain health.

Published on Jan 11, 2022 05:14 AM

US surgeons have successfully implanted a heart from a genetically modified pig in a 57-year-old man, a medical first that could one day help solve the chronic shortage of organ donations.

The "historic" procedure took place Friday, the University of Maryland Medical School said in a statement on Monday. While the patient's prognosis is far from certain, it represents a major milestone for animal to human transplantation.

The patient, David Bennett, had been deemed ineligible for human transplant -- a decision that is often taken when the recipient has very poor underlying health.

He is now recovering and being carefully monitored to determine how the new organ performs.

"It was either die or do this transplant. I want to live. I know it's a shot in the dark, but it's my last choice," the Maryland resident said a day before the surgery.

Bennett, who has spent the last several months bedridden on a heart-lung bypass machine, added: "I look forward to getting out of bed after I recover."
The Food and Drug Administration granted emergency authorization for the surgery on New Year's Eve, as a last ditch effort for a patient who was unsuitable for conventional transplant.

"This was a breakthrough surgery and brings us one step closer to solving the organ shortage crisis," said Bartley Griffith, who surgically transplanted the pig heart.

"We are proceeding cautiously, but we are also optimistic that this first-in-the-world surgery will provide an important new option for patients in the future."

Muhammad Mohiuddin, who co-founded the university's cardiac xenotransplantation program, added the surgery was the culmination of years or research, involving pig-to-baboon transplants, with survival times that exceeded nine months.

"The successful procedure provided valuable information to help the medical community improve this potentially life-saving method in future patients," he said.


Study finds heart surgery patients may not need opioid for pain after getting discharged

Bennett's donor pig belonged to a herd that had undergone genetic editing procedures.

Three genes that would have led to rejection of pig organs by humans were "knocked out," as was a gene that would have led to excessive growth of pig heart tissue.

Six human genes responsible for human acceptance were inserted into the genome, for a total of 10 unique gene edits.

The editing was performed by Virginia-based biotech firm Revivicor, which also supplied the pig used in a breakthrough kidney transplant on brain dead patients in New York in October.

But while that surgery was purely a proof-of-concept experiment, and the kidney was connected outside the patient's body, the new surgery is intended to save a person's life.


The donated organ was kept in an organ-preservation machine ahead of the surgery, and the team also used an experimental new drug made by Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals along with conventional anti-rejection drugs to suppress the immune system.

About 110,000 Americans are currently waiting for an organ transplant, and more than 6,000 patients die each year before getting one, according to official figures.

To meet demand, doctors have long been interested in so-called xenotransplantation, or cross-species organ donation, with experiments tracing back to the 17th century.

Early research focused on harvesting organs from primates -- for example, a baboon heart was transplanted into a newborn known as "Baby Fae" in 1984, but she survived only 20 days.

Today, pig heart valves are widely used in humans, and pig skin is grafted on human burn victims.

Can drinking urine cure COVID? U of L doctor's response to anti-vaxxer's claim goes viral
Deborah Yetter, Louisville Courier Journal
Thu, January 13, 2022, 7:56 AM
A tweet by a University of Louisville kidney specialist advising people not to drink their own urine to cure the COVID-19 virus has gone, well, viral.

Prompted by an online story about an Alabama anti-vaccination advocate who recommends the urine cure, Dr. Jon Klein, vice-dean for research at the U of L medical school, posted on Twitter Monday night bluntly advising against it.

By midday Wednesday, it had been viewed nearly 4.5 million times and was still climbing with comments and replies from around the world.

The reaction astonished Klein, a nephrologist who has treated kidney disease for nearly four decades.

"It was sort of crazy, the way it just took off," he said. "As a nephrologist, I get all sort of tweets from other nephrologists. But this is sort of an epic event for nephrology Twitterdom."

Klein said he sent the tweet toward the end of the day after seeing the AL.com article about Christopher Key, a fierce opponent of the COVID-19 vaccine who promotes alternative therapies including drinking urine.


“The antidote that we have seen now, and we have tons and tons of research, is urine therapy,” Key said in a video, according to the article. “I know to a lot of you this sounds crazy, but guys, God’s given us everything we need.”

Klein, whose twitter profile describes him as a "dad, husband, son, brother, happy, nephrologist and scientist," said he couldn't let the claim go unchallenged.

"I thought, 'I know a thing or two about urine, having been a kidney doc for a while,'" Klein said. "It's not a good idea to drink your own urine."

Plus, he said, there is no evidence doing so has any effect against COVID-19 or other illnesses.

"At some point, it ought to be obvious that drinking your own urine will not protect you," Klein said.

Still, he decided to send the tweet because "apparently there's a lot of people looking for something different."

His tweet reads: "I’m a kidney doctor. I’ve studied how the kidneys make urine for 39 years. Do not, I repeat do not, drink urine to treat COVID. That is all."

Klein said he's always enjoyed explaining medicine and science to the public, including on an online Saturday show he appeared in with Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer in the early months of the pandemic to update people on COVID-19.

That's what he was attempting to do with Monday's tweet.

"I just thought people would appreciate a clear explanation, brief and to the point from someone who is a kidney specialist," Klein said.

Walking Just 10 Minutes a Day May Lead to a Longer Life

Ten minutes of moderate exercise daily would prevent more than 111,000 premature deaths a year, a new analysis found.

If almost all of us started walking for an extra 10 minutes a day, we could, collectively, prevent more than 111,000 deaths every year, according to an enlightening new study of movement and mortality. Published this week in JAMA Internal Medicine, the study used data about physical activity and death rates for thousands of American adults to estimate how many deaths every year might be averted if everyone exercised more. The results indicate that even a little extra physical activity by each of us could potentially stave off hundreds of thousands of premature deaths over the coming years.

Already, science offers plenty of evidence that how much we exercise influences how long we live. In a telling 2019 study published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 8 percent of all deaths in the United States were attributed to “inadequate levels of activity.” A British study from 2015 likewise found that men and women who exercised for at least 150 minutes per week — the standard recommendation in Britain, Europe and the United States — reduced their risk of premature death by at least 25 percent compared to people who exercised less. More dramatically, a 2020 examination of the lifestyles and death risks of about 44,000 adults in the United States and Europe concluded that the most sedentary men and women in the study, who sat almost all day, were as much as 260 percent more likely to die prematurely as the most highly active people studied, who exercised for at least 30 minutes most days.

But much of this past research relied on people’s often unreliable memories of their exercise and sitting habits. In addition, many of the studies that delved into the broader, population-level impacts of exercise on longevity tended to use formal exercise guidelines as their goal. In those studies, researchers modeled what would happen if everyone started working out for at least 150 minutes a week, an ambitious and perhaps unachievable goal for the many people who previously have exercised rarely, if at all.

In the new study, researchers at the National Cancer Institute and the C.D.C. decided instead to explore what might happen to death rates if people started moving around more, even if they did not necessarily meet the formal exercise guidelines. But, first, the researchers needed to establish a baseline of how many deaths might be related to too-little movement. So, they began gathering data from the ongoing National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, or NHANES, which periodically asks a representative sample of the population about their lives and health. It also provides some of them with activity trackers, to objectively measure how much they move.

The researchers now pulled information from 4,840 participants of different ethnicities, male and female, who ranged in age from 40 to 85. All had joined the survey between 2003 and 2006 and worn an activity monitor for a week. Based on that data, the researchers grouped people according to how many minutes they walked or otherwise moved most days. They also checked people’s names against a national death registry to establish mortality risks for the various activity levels.

Using those results, they began creating a series of statistical what-if’s. Suppose, the researchers asked, everyone who was capable of exercising began exercising moderately, such as by walking briskly, for an extra 10 minutes per day, on top of how much or little they currently worked out? How many deaths might not happen?

The researchers made adjustments to account statistically for those people who were too frail or otherwise unable to walk or easily move around. They also considered age, education, smoking status, diet, body mass index and other health factors in their calculations.

Then, the researchers ran the same statistical scenario with everyone working out for an extra 20 minutes a day and, finally, for an extra 30 minutes a day and checked the mortality outcomes.

Quite a few people would live longer in any of those scenarios, they found. According to the modeling, if every capable adult walked briskly or otherwise exercised for an additional 10 minutes a day, 111,174 deaths annually across the country — or about 7 percent of all deaths in a typical year — might be avoided.

When they doubled the imagined exercise time to an extra 20 minutes a day, the number of potentially averted deaths rose to 209,459. Tripling the exercise to 30 extra minutes a day averted 272,297 deaths, or almost 17 percent of typical annual totals. (The data was gathered before the pandemic, which has skewed mortality numbers.)

Those figures might seem abstract, but, in practice, those hundreds of thousands of deaths forestalled could turn out to be deeply personal. They could mean avoiding the early death of a spouse, parent, friend, grown child, co-worker or, of course, us, said Pedro Saint-Maurice, an epidemiologist at the National Cancer Institute, who led the new study. “There is a message in this data for public health entities” about the importance of promoting physical activity to reduce premature deaths, he said. And the message applies equally to each of us.

So get up and walk or engage in some kind of moderate physical activity for an extra 10 minutes today. Invite your friends, colleagues and aging parents to do the same. “In this context, a little additional physical activity can have a huge impact,” Dr. Saint-Maurice said.

The Telegraph
Coffee could help you live longer – and scientists now know how many cups a day you need
Joe Pinkstone
Wed, February 9, 2022, 4:43 AM

Drinking three cups of ground coffee a day, but not instant, reduces a person’s risk of death, according to a new study.

Almost half a million Britons enrolled in the UK Biobank study were divided by their coffee intake: those who drank none, up to three cups, and more than three cups a day.

The benefits were also found for those drinking decaffeinated coffee.

The study revealed that moderate coffee drinkers, up to three cups a day, were 12 per cent less likely to die over the study’s 11-year period.

They were also 17 and 21 per cent less likely to die of heart disease or stroke, respectively, according to the study from the Semmelweis University in Budapest and Queen Mary University of London.

Over the study period, 3.4 per cent of moderate drinkers died, compared to 3.7 per cent of coffee abstainers and four per cent of those drinking higher amounts of caffeine.

Among the coffee drinkers, a fifth preferred decaffeinated, a quarter drank ground beans and more than half opted for instant coffee.

Dr Pal Maurovich-Horvat, the director of the medical imaging centre at the Semmelweis University and one of the study’s co-authors, said: “Using MRI scans we were able to analyse the effect of regular coffee intake on the structure and function of the heart.

“We found that regular light-to-moderate coffee consumption is beneficial for the health of the heart, with the suggestion that it can slow down age-related cardiac changes.”

The discrepancy between the health benefits of ground and instant coffee should be the focus of future research, the scientists said -
The discrepancy between the health benefits of ground and instant coffee should be the focus of future research, the scientists said -
The health benefits of coffee, however, applied only to ground beans and were not seen amongst instant coffee drinkers.

“While ground coffee was associated with decreased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, we did not find a statistically significant association between regular instant coffee consumption and health outcomes,” the scientists wrote in their study.

“The difference among the various coffee types may be explained by the differences in their production process, as they contain different chemicals.”

It also found decaffeinated ground coffee has health benefits, as those who “regularly” opted for decaf had a lower risk of death compared to those who did not drink coffee at all.

As a result, the researchers concluded the benefits from coffee are only partly due to caffeine, with antioxidants and other chemicals likely playing a key role.

Dr Zahra Raisi-Estabragh, one of the study’s co-authors from Queen Mary University of London, said: “Most of the participants drank either ground or instant coffee. Ground coffee in moderate amounts was associated with lower mortality risk – but this benefit was not found amongst the regular instant coffee drinkers.

“The reason behind this may relate to the different production process of the ground and instant forms as they contain different additives.”

The discrepancy between the health benefits of ground and instant coffee should be the focus of future research, the scientists said.

Poorer health outcomes
However, while moderate consumption of ground coffee was found to be beneficial, more than three cups a day was linked to poorer health outcomes.

“Analysis showed that light-to-moderate coffee drinking was associated with decreased [risk], while high coffee intake was linked with increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, as compared to zero coffee drinkers,” the researchers wrote in the paper, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology.

The study added to a tranche of papers that have investigated the health impact of coffee, with fierce debate erupting over whether it is good or bad. This paper adds significant weight to the argument that the popular drink is, in fact, beneficial.

Prof Steffen Petersen, an expert in cardiovascular medicine from Queen Mary University, added: “Coffee is one of the most consumed beverages in the world. However, its cardiovascular effects are not well-known, and some previous studies have shown contradictory results.

“As far as we know, this has been the largest study to date which focused on the effect of coffee on cardiovascular health.”

The blood type diet

Hi Karim,

The Blood Type Diet has been around since the 1980s. Its core thesis is that you need a distinct dietary pattern in order to achieve your best health and life — based on your blood type.

This way of eating has attracted millions of people looking to optimize their diets, lose weight, and improve their overall well-being.

Some say the blood type diet is a collection of customized nutrition recommendations that honors your biochemical individuality. Others say it’s just another misleading and ultimately useless fad diet.

What’s the truth?

The best diet to fight cancer

Hi Karim,

Despite all the trillions of dollars spent in the war on cancer, it will take ten million lives this year.

Is banana good for the brain?

Bananas play an important role in positive emotions, it may help reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety, so bananas are known as "the fruit of happiness".



Bananas are rich in tryptophan, and a medium-sized banana contains about 12 milligrams of tryptophan.

Tryptophan is one of the essential amino acids that the body cannot manufacture and needs to be obtained from food.

Tryptophan is the main substance in the synthesis of serotonin. Serotonin, widely known as "happy hormone", which is a chemical used to communicate between nerve cells in the brain.

Clinical experience shows that low levels of serotonin in the brain are one of the main causes of depression and anxiety.

Serotonin can stimulates the nervous system of the brain, making people feel happiness, satisfaction, cheerfulness and calm.

In addition, bananas are also rich in carbohydrates, protein, dietary fiber, fat, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin E, carotene, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients needed by the human body.

Hi Karim,

Have you heard about the restaurant in Las Vegas that has an item on its menu called a bypass burger?

It might sound funny, but the results of eating certain foods can be devastating.

But did you know that some foods have the reverse effect and can dramatically reduce your risk of heart disease?

I’m always fascinated by the numbers, and I’m not new to the benefits of plant-based food, but when I read about this study, I did a double-take.

Research published in the National Institutes of Health concluded that just one serving of beans per day can reduce your risk of heart attack by 38%.

Just one cup of beans, and a 38% reduction in heart attack risk.

That’s a pretty compelling reason to add a scoop of beans to your plate, isn’t it?

There are 14 other incredible plant-based foods that research shows to reduce the risk of heart disease.

Some of these foods are even powerful enough to reverse heart disease altogether, as shown by groundbreaking studies done by Food Revolution Summit speakers like Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr., and Dr. Joel Fuhrman.

One of these heart health superfoods is called the “king of spices,” and one of them was made famous by a certain spinach-loving cartoon character you might remember from your childhood.

Hello Karim,

Healthy food can make the difference between sickness and health, and in some cases, between life and death.

Take tip Number 9 from the Food For Health Masterclass https://thriving.foodrevolution.org/mas ... 241&jb=459 : eat garlic.

One study found that people who ate garlic regularly got only half as many colds and flus as people who didn't.

Another showed that women with the highest amount of garlic in their diets had a 50% lower risk of colon cancer.

My dad and I created this masterclass because we’re hearing from a lot of people who want to eat better but aren’t getting the results they want…

Either because they skipped something essential or they couldn’t stick with it.

We’ve dialed it down to 10 keys.

The research found that those who drank moderate amounts of coffee, even with a little sugar, were up to 30 percent less likely to die during the study period than those who didn’t drink coffee.


By Dani Blum
June 1, 2022
阅读简体中文版閱讀繁體中文版
That morning cup of coffee may be linked to a lower risk of dying, researchers from a study published Monday in The Annals of Internal Medicine concluded. Those who drank 1.5 to 3.5 cups of coffee per day, even with a teaspoon of sugar, were up to 30 percent less likely to die during the study period than those who didn’t drink coffee. Those who drank unsweetened coffee were 16 to 21 percent less likely to die during the study period, with those drinking about three cups per day having the lowest risk of death when compared with noncoffee drinkers.

Researchers analyzed coffee consumption data collected from the U.K. Biobank, a large medical database with health information from people across Britain. They analyzed demographic, lifestyle and dietary information collected from more than 170,000 people between the ages of 37 and 73 over a median follow-up period of seven years. The mortality risk remained lower for people who drank both decaffeinated and caffeinated coffee. The data was inconclusive for those who drank coffee with artificial sweeteners.

“It’s huge. There are very few things that reduce your mortality by 30 percent,” said Dr. Christina Wee, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and a deputy editor of the scientific journal where the study was published. Dr. Wee edited the study and published a corresponding editorial in the same journal.

There are, however, major caveats to interpreting this research, she added. This is an observational study, which means the data cannot conclusively prove that coffee itself lowers the risk of dying; there may be other lifestyle factors contributing to that lower mortality risk among people who drink coffee, like a healthy diet or a consistent exercise routine.

The average amount of added sugar per cup of sweetened coffee in the study was a little more than a teaspoon — far less than what is typically added to many sugary drinks at coffee chains across the country. A tall Caramel Macchiato at Starbucks, for instance, contains 25 grams of sugar, about five times as much sugar as a sweetened cup of coffee from the study.

“All bets are off when it comes to matching this with a latte, a Frappuccino, the super mocha whipped whatever,” said Dr. Eric Goldberg, a clinical associate professor of medicine at the N.Y.U. Grossman School of Medicine. These beverages tend to be high in calories and fat, he said, potentially negating or at least blunting any benefit from the coffee itself.

This new study is the latest in a robust line of research showing coffee’s potential health advantages, he said. Previous research has linked coffee consumption with a lower risk of Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, liver and prostate cancers and other health issues.

Scientists don’t know exactly what makes coffee so beneficial, Dr. Goldberg said, but the answer may lie in its antioxidant properties, which can prevent or delay cell damage. Coffee beans contain high amounts of antioxidants, said Beth Czerwony, a registered dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Human Nutrition in Ohio, which can help break down free radicals that cause damage to cells. Over time, a buildup of free radicals can increase inflammation in the body, which can cause plaque formation related to heart disease, she said, so dietitians recommend consuming foods and beverages that are rich in antioxidants.

There’s also the possibility that coffee drinkers tend to make healthier choices in general. They might opt for a cold brew or a cup of drip coffee instead of a less healthy source of caffeine, like an energy drink or soda, Dr. Goldberg added. “If you’re pounding Mountain Dew or Coca-Cola or Red Bull or all these other drinks, they have tons more sugar, all the artificial stuff — versus coffee, which is a generally unprocessed food.”

Despite the encouraging evidence about coffee, there isn’t enough data to suggest that people who don’t currently drink coffee should add a stop to Starbucks during their morning routines, Dr. Wee said. And even avid coffee drinkers shouldn’t use the study to justify endless cups of java. The study showed that the benefits of coffee tapered off for people who drank more than 4.5 cups of coffee each day. Past studies have shown that consuming “extreme amounts” — over seven cups per day — can take a toll, she said.

“Moderation is good,” Dr. Goldberg said. “But too much of a good thing isn’t necessarily more of a good thing.”
