Optimum nutrition plays the major role in optimum health. Cardiometabolic syndrome is a disease of unhealthy diet and lifestyle. It is a cluster of cardiometabolic risk factors, including elevated triglyceride levels, fasting plasma glucose level (hyperglycaemia), elevated blood pressure, increased waist circumference, and reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level. It is a multifactorial risk factor for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Cardiometabolic syndrome is generally regarded as a pro-inflammatory and prothrombotic state. Inflammation drives insulin resistance and oxidative stress, further amplifying cardiometabolic syndrome. . There are numerous health consequences related to cardiometabolic syndrome; these include non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, obesity, overweight, high adiposity, reproductive dysfunction, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and obstructive sleep apnoea. . Diet and nutrition play major roles in the prevention and management of chronic disease, especially cardiometabolic syndrome. The Westernised diet (high in sugar, saturated fat, fried foods, refined grains) has numerous negative effects on the parameters of cardiometabolic syndrome. 🥦 A predominantly plant-based, Mediterranean-style, low-glycaemic index diet and diets higher in fruits, vegetables, fibre, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, tree nuts, and potassium have been associated with a lower risk of cardiometabolic syndrome. Additionally, the Palaeolithic diet has beneficial effects in the management of cardiometabolic syndrome. 🍎 McEwen B.

Optimum nutrition is fundamental for the development of a child’s full potential and there are studies that link chronic undernutrition and micronutrient deficiency to cognitive deficits.[1] 💫 Undernutrition has been shown to negatively impact various developmental and cognitive areas including motor development, language functioning, intelligent quotient (IQ), as well as memory and executive functions.[2] The brain needs nutrients to build and maintain its structure.[3] 💫 Minerals, particularly iron and selenium, play major roles in cognitive development and maintenance. Further research is suggested to investigate the effects of nutrition, particularly minerals, for cognitive development and maintenance in children.

My new guilty pleasure: ABC+Hemp spread from @pureharvest . This superfood contains almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, and hemp seeds. A great nutritional source of protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, and low in sugar. Tastes amazing. Enjoy it with carrot and celery sticks, or any other snacks. Actually, enjoy it anywhere, anytime! . . . . #hemp #hempseeds #pureharvest #nuts #superfood #nutrition #nutritionist #health #healthy #foodie #instafood #instahealth #instadaily #fitspo #fitness #goodfood #lowsugar #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #healthyeating #mentor #optimummentoring #wellness #wellbeing #nourish #nutritious
The Palaeolithic diet and cardiometabolic syndrome: Can an ancient diet be the way of the future? . Diet and nutrition play major roles in the prevention and management of chronic disease, especially cardiometabolic syndrome. . Cardiometabolic syndrome has numerous risk factors, including increased waist circumference, elevated blood pressure, elevated triglyceride level, low HDL cholesterol, elevated fasting plasma glucose, chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and a prothrombotic state. There are numerous adverse health conditions related to metabolic syndrome, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). . Palaeolithic diet may be associated with lower levels of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Palaeolithic nutrition improved risk factors for chronic disease, such as improvements in waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and triglyceride, HDL cholesterol, and fasting blood glucose levels. . I ask the following question: can an ancient diet be the way of the future? Time will tell… . McEwen BJ.
