Research suggests that equal servings of animal protein may pack a much bigger muscle-building punch than their plant-based counterparts. When it comes to protein, the same serving size on paper may not mean the same nutritional payoff in the body. A 2023 Purdue University study found that two ounce equivalents (oz-eq) of animal-based protein foods [...]Scientists found that a tomato-soy juice rich in plant-derived compounds altered inflammation-related signals in healthy adults with obesity. A new study found that drinking tomato-soy juice rich in health-promoting plant compounds reduced levels of inflammatory proteins in healthy adults with obesity after four weeks. The results suggest the beverage could serve as a functional food [...]
Researchers found that a simple addition to a 5-a-day diet was associated with improved mental well-being in adults with low fruit and vegetable intake. New research from Newcastle University suggests that drinking a daily glass of 100% fruit juice or a smoothie as part of the country’s 5-a-day nutrition recommendation may help improve mental well-being. [...]A new study suggests that some groups may not experience the expected seasonal boost in vitamin D levels, even during the sunniest months of the year. Many people assume that spending more time outdoors during summer naturally restores vitamin D levels after the darker winter months. But new research suggests that for some groups, that [...]A new AI system can suggest just a few targeted ingredient swaps that make meals healthier and cheaper without dramatically changing what people already eat. Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have developed an artificial intelligence system that can make meals healthier and more affordable by recommending as few as one to three ingredient [...]Scientists discovered a hidden gut-brain network that can change cravings when the body needs more protein. The body has a remarkable ability to recognize when it is missing important nutrients and adjust behavior accordingly. New research shows that the gut plays a much larger role in this process than previously understood, actively detecting protein shortages [...]Scientists have uncovered a potential nutritional link to chronic fatigue. Healthy adults with signs of vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies were more likely to experience fatigue or lower motivation. Chronic fatigue has become a common part of modern life. Many people struggle with long work hours, packed schedules, and persistent exhaustion that never seems to [...]
