Segment 1

Intro – 30 sec.

Everyone wants to eat healthy and live longer. There have been so many new studies that have emerged on nutrition that we decided to talk about nutrition in the news – what you need to know.  

• Prebiotics, Probiotics, and anti-biotics. Manipulating the gut biome showed that a disturbance in the gut microbiome directly affected the chances of developing metabolic syndrome according to a study out of John Hopkins University. Metabolic syndrome is characterized by a large waist, increased blood sugar, and often increased blood pressure. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), a protein that receives chemical signals to activate inflammation is now linked to the start and development of metabolic syndrome. In the research, TLR4 was affected by changes in the gut micro biome. Check out the study!
• New research shows that low calorie diets or crash diets after a heart event may actually worsen symptoms and inhibit recovery. This seems counter intuitive because. One week into a fasting study participants saw that total body fat, visceral fat and liver fat had all significantly fallen by an average of 6%, 11%, and 42%, respectively. This was accompanied by significant improvements in insulin resistance, fasting total cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose and blood pressure. The problem was that heart fat content had risen by 44% and patients showed a deterioration in heart function. Low calorie diets or fasting periods are still good when used intermittently in healthy patients, but heart patients may need to avoid them. Check out the study!
• Boston University School of Medicine has a new study showing that couples that who drink sodas may have a harder time getting pregnant. Females who consumed at least one soda per day had 25 percent lower chance of getting pregnant; male consumption was associated with 33 percent lower chance of getting their significant other pregnant. Check out the study!

There is more evidence that the diet we eat can help or hinder disease from spreading. Researchers out of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, found a link between the spread of a particular type of breast cancer and increased levels of the amino acid, asparagine. Asparagine is found in dairy, whey, beef, chicken, eggs, seafood, asparagus, potatoes, beans, seeds, soy, and even nuts. Since the variety of foods is so vast, it’s hard to say go vegan or vegetarian. This research was done on mice, but if the same holds true for humans, special diets that limit or eliminate asparagine may become part of the cancer treatment regimen.

• Older Olympians are crediting their nutrition and exercise routine combined for their long-lasting stamina
• Probiotics and probiotic enhanced milk intake in pregnant women has been linked to less complications during birth
• Among 2,000 people surveyed in a recent study, 1 in 3 people are distracted when eating and 29 percent said their phone accompanies every meal they eat.
• A study by a research team from the University of Pennsylvania found that eating fish at least once a week can raise children’s IQ by nearly 5 points in the Wechsler Intelligence Scale
• 2018’s list of “best diets overall” is a tie between the Mediterranean and DASH Diets

The DASH eating plan requires no special foods and instead provides daily and weekly nutritional goals. This plan recommends:

• Eating vegetables, fruits, and whole grains
• Including fat-free or low-fat dairy products, fish, poultry, beans, nuts, and vegetable oils
• Limiting foods that are high in saturated fat, such as fatty meats, full-fat dairy products, and tropical oils such as coconut, palm kernel, and palm oils
• Limiting sugar-sweetened beverages and sweets.

Based on these recommendations, the following table shows examples of daily and weekly servings that meet DASH eating plan targets for a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet.

Daily and Weekly DASH Eating Plan Goals for a 2,000-Calorie-a-Day Diet

Food Group	Daily Servings
Grains	6–8
Meats, poultry, and fish	6 or less
Vegetables	4–5
Fruit	4–5
Low-fat or fat-free dairy products	2–3
Fats and oils	2–3
Sodium	2,300 mg*
	Weekly Servings
Nuts, seeds, dry beans, and peas	4–5
Sweets	5 or less

*1,500 milligrams (mg) sodium lowers blood pressure even further than 2,300 mg sodium daily.

When following the DASH eating plan, it is important to choose foods that are:

• Low in saturated and trans fats
• Rich in potassium, calcium, magnesium, fiber, and protein
• Lower in sodium
