Researchers conduct randomized controlled trials on functional foods. They target chronic inflammation markers. Polyphenols and omega-3 fatty acids receive special attention. Polyphenols come from berries, green tea, and dark chocolate. Omega-3s appear in fatty fish, flaxseeds, and algae supplements. Both compounds show anti-inflammatory potential. Scientists design trials carefully. Participants receive the functional food or a […]

Prolonged sitting harms muscles fast. It leads to muscle atrophy. Muscles shrink and weaken. Mitochondria suffer inside cells. These powerhouses lose function. They produce less energy. Reactive oxygen species rise. This causes oxidative stress. Mitochondria change shape. They fragment more. Calcium handling fails. This triggers protein breakdown. Pathways activate atrophy signals. AMPK rises due to […]
Researchers conducted a network meta-analysis (NMA) to compare tirzepatide and semaglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes. They included multiple randomized controlled trials. This approach ranks treatments by pooling direct and indirect evidence. Weight loss outcomes stand out clearly. Tirzepatide shows superior results. For example, it achieves greater percentage weight reduction. Studies report a mean […]
Researchers study pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with post-TB destroyed lung. These patients face severe lung damage after tuberculosis treatment. They often experience ongoing breathing problems. Pulmonary rehabilitation includes exercise training, education, and breathing techniques. Programs last 8 to 12 weeks or longer. Many studies show positive results. First, exercise capacity improves significantly. The 6-minute walk […]
Polyphenols and Prebiotics Show Synergistic Effects on Gut Health Researchers study polyphenols and prebiotics together. They work in synergy. This combination boosts gut health significantly. Polyphenols come from plants like berries, tea, and grapes. Prebiotics include fibers such as inulin and FOS. Both reach the colon mostly unchanged. The gut microbiota ferments them actively. Polyphenols […]
The enteric nervous system plays a vital role in digestion. Scientists often call it the “second brain” because it controls the gut independently. It works closely with the brain through the gut-brain axis. This connection influences many functional gastrointestinal disorders. These include irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional dyspepsia, and chronic constipation. Researchers now study how […]
