Diet and Exercise, Gut Dysbiosis, Gut Microbiota, Probiotics, Prebiotics and Symbiotics /

Fermented foods are among the traditional foods consumed for centuries. In recent years, awareness of fermented foods has been increasing due to their positive health benefits. Fermented foods contain beneficial microorganisms. Fermented foods, such as kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut, and yoghurt, contain Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), such as Lactobacilli, Bifidobacteria, and their primary metabolites (lactic acid). Although studies on […]

Dietary manipulation of the gut microbiome in inflammatory bowel disease
patients: Pilot study

Diet and Exercise, Gut Dysbiosis, Probiotics, Prebiotics and Symbiotics /

Diet is a modifiable, noninvasive, inexpensive behavior that is crucial in shaping the intestinalmicrobiome. A microbiome “imbalance” or dysbiosis in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is linkedto inflammation. Here, we aim to define the impact of specific foods on bacterial species commonlydepleted in patients with IBD to better inform dietary treatment. We performed a single-arm, prepost

Relationships of Nutritional Factors and Agrochemical Exposure with Parkinson’s Disease in the Province of Brescia, Italy

A-Synuclein, Diet and Exercise, Gut Dysbiosis, Parkinson's Disease /

Environmental exposures to agrochemicals and nutritional factors may be associated with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). None of the studies to date has examined the combined effects of diet and agricultural chemical exposure together. To address these research gaps, we aimed to assess the association of nutritional factors and agrochemical exposure with the risk of PD. A

Review on Dietary Factors in Fermented Foods and their Efficacy in Disease Management

Diet and Exercise, Probiotics, Prebiotics and Symbiotics /

The process of preservation of various food sources, over time, gave rise to fermented foods. Traditionally, each ethnic group has its distinct fermented food(s) incorporated into their diet, both as culinary enjoyment and nutrition. Fermentation increases nutrient availability and enhances the texture and flavor of the original food. The benefits of fermented food consumption and

The Role of Milk Nutrition and Ketogenic Diet in Epileptic
Disorders

Diet and Exercise, Gut Microbiota /

This chapter explores the role of the gut-brain axis, ketogenic diet, and cow’s milk allergy onepileptic seizures, with a special focus on childhood. Milk nutrition is particularly relevant fornormal growth and health in childhood; however, some studies report an association betweencow’s milk allergy and epileptic events. It is necessary to clarify the role of proteinpolymorphisms

Diet and Exercise, Parkinson's Disease /

The prevalence of obesity tripled worldwide between 1975 and 2016, and it is projected that half of the US population will be overweight by 2030. The obesity pandemic is attributed, in part, to the increasing consumption of the high-fat, high-carbohydrate Western diet, which predisposes to the development of the metabolicsyndrome and correlates with decreased cognitive

A Critical Review on Health Promoting Benefits of Edible Mushrooms through Gut Microbiota

Diet and Exercise, Gut Microbiota /

Mushrooms have long been used for medicinal and food purposes for over a thousand years, but a complete elucidation of the health-promoting properties of mushrooms through regulating gut microbiota has not yet been fully exploited. Mushrooms comprise a vast, and yet largely untapped, source of powerful new pharmaceutical substances. Mushrooms have been used in health
