THURSDAY, June 27, 2024 (HealthDay News) — It’s long-standing advice that everyone should get more fiber in their diet, but new research suggests that some people may benefit more than others.A person’s gut microbiome appears to have some influence on the benefits they get from dietary fiber, the researchers report in the journal Gut Microbes.Evidence from research shows that different people respond differently to consuming resistant starch, a type of dietary fibre found in bread, cereals, green bananas, whole-grain pasta, brown rice and potatoes.Some people benefit greatly from it, while others benefit little or nothing at all, and the differences…

I spent a lot of time as a kid imagining myself as a courageous Jedi Knight exploring the galaxy, keeping peace, and bringing justice. I would grab the used wrapping paper tubes out of the trash and swing them about like I was Obi-Wan Kenobi, the last Jedi standing against the swarm of B1 Battle Droids descending upon the planet. Cue the music. Cue the lightsaber sounds. I am older now—considerably so. But I continue to wonder what it would be like to be a Jedi Knight, armed with nothing more than a laser sword and some hokey religious powers.…

There is no standard dietary treatment for smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM), but researchers are investigating the impact of a plant-based diet that emphasizes whole foods on SMM. SMM is a slow-growing, precancerous type of myeloma in which plasma cells make too much of a certain type of protein. Plasma cells are a type of white blood cell found in the bone marrow. Myeloma is a type of cancer that begins in these cells.SMM usually does not cause symptoms, so regular check-ups may be necessary to monitor its progression.Studies are currently being conducted to investigate whether following certain types of diets…

The study was published in the journal Antioxidants​ Twenty-eight men were studied to examine the effects of taking 300 mg of CoQ10 (HydroQSorb) or a placebo daily in combination with vigorous exercise for 21 days. “Although previous studies have reported an increase in serum vitamin D after exercise, this is the first to demonstrate that this process is inhibited by the antioxidant CoQ10,” the Polish authors noted. They concluded that their results showed that “CoQ10 significantly corrected exercise-induced changes in vitamin D metabolism.” ​Increase in reactive oxygen species​CoQ10 is essential for cellular energy metabolism and has strong antioxidant properties, whereas…
