Researchers have known that the brain sends signals to the gut, which is why stress and other emotions can contribute to gastrointestinal symptoms. This study (conducted by scientists with UCLA’s Gail and Gerald Oppenheimer Family Center for Neurobiology of Stress and the Ahmanson–Lovelace Brain Mapping Center at UCLA) shows what has been suspected but until now had been proved only in animal studies: that signals travel the opposite way as well. “ Time and time again, we hear from patients that they never felt depressed or anxious until they started experiencing problems with their gut ,” said Dr Kirsten Tillisch lead author of the study. “Our study shows that the gut–brain connection is a two-way street.” “Many of us have a container of yogurt in our refrigerator that we may eat for enjoyment, for calcium or because we think it might help our health in other ways,” Tillisch said. “ Our findings indicate that some of the contents of yogurt may actually change the way our ...

Yogurt was a long-established staple in Eastern Europe and the Middle East before it reached our shores. Today, yogurt is commonly consumed by men, women, and children of all ages; walk into any supermarket, and you'll see the varieties and flavors of this nutritious food take up considerable space in the dairy section. Yogurt is one of the foods which are very simple but have a lot of benefits and do well to our bodies. Here you can read how including yogurt in your daily diet can make your body healthier. Yogurt is easier to digest than milk Many people who cannot tolerate milk, either because of a protein allergy or lactose intolerance, can enjoy yogurt. The culturing process makes yogurt more digestible than milk. The live active cultures create lactase, the enzyme lactose-intolerant people lack, and another enzyme contained in some yogurts (beta-galactosidase) also helps improve lactose absorption in lactase-deficient persons. Bacterial enzymes created by the culturin...

All dieters are told one possible strategy to control caloric consumption is to eat more slowly. But does it really work? A new study says that may all depend on how much you already weigh . Led by Jen Copeland, a former graduate student in Texas Christian U’s Department of Kinesiology, under the guidance of professor, Dr. Meena Shah, the study showed that eating speeds affect different weight groups differently. Specifically, overweight and obese individuals may not reap the same benefits of eating slowly as their normal-weight counterparts . The study, published online Jan. 2 in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics , is especially noteworthy because it analyses the intricate relationship between eating speed and calorie consumption in two different weight groups. Previous studies on eating speed and body weight primarily focused only on normal-weight individuals . The study The team's study included 35 normal weight people and 35 who were overweight or ...

People have used the scents of plants, trees, herbs and fruits since ancient times to fight inflammation, depression and induce sleep. “ Smells act on the brain like a drug ,” says neurologist Dr Alan Hirsch, founder of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. “In the future there will be new treatments based on smell.” Smells stimulate nerves in the nose that send impulses to the brain. These impulses usually go to the brain’s limbic system which is the center of our emotions, and this may help to explain why so many scents can trigger our emotions and memories. The limbic lobe in turn directly activates the hypothalamus, which houses and controls our satiety center. In other words, our nose dictates our hunger level more quickly and more efficiently than our stomach ! Appetite suppressing scents whose effectiveness has been proven In scientific research, people preferred sweet smells, and strongly sweet scents such as chocolate often triggered feelings o...

The avocado’s effectiveness in reaching feelings of fullness and what is known as the Satiety Index may be a key link to effective weight loss. The Internet is buzzing with the latest research released in Nutrition Journal ’s November 2013 publication, which found that consuming half an avocado leads to a reduced chance of snacking after meals and a greater feeling of fullness . What’s the secret behind participants feeling full and less peckish after consuming the green fruit? The answer, while seemingly simple, lies in large part in people’s feelings of satiety. "People who feel satisfied are less likely to snack between meals," said Dr. Joan Sabate, Chair of the nutrition department of Loma Linda University. The trial For the study, 26 people ages 25 to 65 who were overweight and moderately obese (with a body mass index higher than 25 but less than 35) were given the same breakfast for three days. Then for lunch, the participants ate one of three meals: a con...

Turns out, that morning chocolate-chip scone may not wreck your diet after all. In fact, it might help you stick to your weight-loss goals. Morning is the best time to consume sweets because that's when the body's metabolism is most active - and we have the rest of the day to work off the calories, a new study of Tel Aviv University shows.   Bear in mind, the results don’t suggest that everybody should simply add a glazed doughnut to their morning meal. The study looked specifically at people eating strict low-calorie diets — 1,600 calories a day for men; 1,400 calories a day for women. The research included nearly 200 nondiabetic obese adults, who were randomly assigned to one of two low-calorie-diet groups; both were identical except for breakfast: one group (the lucky ones) ate a 600-calorie high-carb breakfast that came with a choice of a cookie, chocolate, cake or a doughnut for dessert. The other group ate a 300-calorie low-carb breakfast. Both breakfasts...

This is good news coming from the findings of a recent study... The trial University of Verona researchers believe that 80g of tomato sauce could stop saturated fats from lining the blood vessels and stopping them working effectively. They have recruited 20 men to take part in a week-long trial. The people were divided into two groups; the participants of the first group were given a fatty dish with a tomato sauce, and the members of the second group ate it without any sauce. The results It turned out that even such small amounts of cooked tomatoes were enough to protect the blood vessel walls and prevent the development of endothelial dysfunction, a disorder that usually precedes atherosclerosis. This chronic disease of the elastic and muscular-elastic arteries is very dangerous for the cardiovascular system as the victims of atherosclerosis often face infarcts. "We hypothesise that tomato sauce can improve the deleterious effects of a high fat meal on vascular functi...

Depriving yourself of your favourite things can make you obsessed with them, according to a study from the University of British Columbia. Researchers found that by forbidding a pleasure - such as a bar of chocolate - it heightened the brain’s awareness of it . But they also found that people did not become fixated if they knew that other people were not able to enjoy their favourite thing . The study's most important finding, though, is that obsession is not as strong if others are also denied: when an object is forbidden to a group, the allure of the object reduces dramatically . Scientists say that this helps to explain why group diet techniques such as Weight Watchers can be more successful than dieting alone. For the study, entitled An unforgettable apple: Memory and attention for forbidden objects , participants were shown images of everyday objects and told the objects were either theirs, someone else's, forbidden to them or forbidden to everyone. Using electr...

Anyone who has ever been on a diet has a fair idea of how much damage a fry-up or slice of cake can do. But many of us don’t factor in the calories we drink when we are trying to lose weight. However, believe it or not, some of the most popular drinks out there are also packed with hidden calories, fat and sugar that can make people pack on the pounds. For instance, when you're drinking that Venti Starbucks Frappuccino , you're drinking a cheeseburger worth of calories. As you can see calories from drinks can really add up. But there is good news: you have plenty of options for reducing the number of calories in what you drink.

It might be the simplest way to lose weight that ever existed: according to a new study at the University of Chester in the U.K. you can burn more than 40 calories per hour just by standing. Devised and led by Dr. John Buckley , the study was inspired by recent research which suggests that spending long periods of time sitting can have a negative effect on health, irrespective of whether people exercise regularly . Researchers evaluated changes in energy expenditure and metabolism among 10 "deskbound" office workers. Data was collected with continuous blood glucose monitors, heart rate monitors, movement monitors, and a respiratory analysis system with the major aim to explain why cardiovascular health risk is linked to sedentary work and lifestyle, independent of exercise . The data showed that blood glucose levels fell back to normal levels after a meal far more quickly on the days when the volunteers stood than when they sat. There was also evidence, from the ...
