Alternative Therapy: Yoga Intervention in Reduced Symptoms and Treatment of Osteoarthritis

Kyle J. Norton

Yoga intervention may be used as integrated form of exercise in reduced symptoms and treatment in patients of osteoarthritis, the renowned study suggested.

Osteoarthritis (OA), a form of arthritis, is a condition of aging causes of wear and tear on a joint, affecting over 25 million people in the United States.

Yoga, the ancient technique practice for harmonized external and internal body well being, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been well known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

In a study of total of 36 participants (mean age 72 years) randomly assigned to 8-week yoga program involving group and home-based sessions or wait-list control, researchers filed the following resultos in compared to control
1. At 8 weeks of the class, yoga participants expressed a significant improvement of pain (adjusted PPB (repeated chair stands)
2. According to the McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, from 4 to 20 weeks, yoga group showed a reduced total score of pain but improved physical function.
3. Yoga group also experienced in improved sleep disturbance
4. There were change of BMI and QOL in the group.

After taking into account of other risk factors, Dr. Cheung C, the led author said, " A weekly yoga program with home practice is feasible, acceptable, and safe for older women with knee OA, and shows therapeutic benefits".

Other, in the study of measured pain and physical and psychological functioning effects in patients randomly assigned either to yoga intervention group or attention control group, researchers found that yoga intervention expressed a greater improvement in depression and quality of life in the yoga group in compared to control group.

Explicitly, in support to the above studies, the community-dwelling older adults (N = 131) randomly assigned to chair yoga (n = 66) or HEP (n = 65)(Thirteen dropped after assignment but prior to the intervention; six dropped during the intervention; 106 of 112 completed at least 12 of 16 sessions) , during 8 weeks of yoga class, measurement of pain, pain interference; secondary: balance, gait speed, fatigue, functional ability in compared to baseline, researchers indicated that
1. Yoga group demonstrated a significant improvement in pain interference during the intervention
2. Yoga group also experienced a greater reduced pain and and fatigue, improved gait speed during the intervention
3. There were no significant improvement sustained post intervention, particularly in balance.

Dr. Park J, the led author said, " An 8-week chair yoga program was associated with reduction in pain, pain interference, and fatigue, and improvement in gait speed, but only the effects on pain interference were sustained 3 months post intervention".

The information collected expressed a substantiated yoga therapy in reduced symptoms of osteoarthritis in an 8 weeks study without mentioning the long term effects.

Taking together, Yoga therapy may have a strong effect in reduced symptoms and management in patents with osteoarthritis, but a long term and large sample cohost study are need to comfirm this validation.

Alternative Therapy: Yoga Therapy In Improved Sexual Function in Women

Kyle J. Norton

Yoga therapy may be considered as an integrated form of exercise in improved women sexual dysfunction, a renowned institute study suggested.

Yoga, the ancient technique practice for harmonized external and internal body well being, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been well known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

According to the study of 40 females (age range 22-55 years, average age 34.7 +/- 8.49 years) enrolled in a yoga camp and given a standardized questionnaire named Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) before and after the 12 weeks session of yoga indicated that
1. Yoga intervention demonstrated substantially improved sexual functions scores in all six domains of FSFI assay (i.e., desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain).
2. Also in this group, The improvement was more in older women (age > 45 years) in compared with younger women (age < 45 years)

Interestingly, in support of the above differentiation, researchers at the The Catholic University of Korea, conduced a randomized, controlled study of 41 women with metabolic syndrome (age 30-60 years) assigned to a 12-week yoga exercise group (n=20) or a wait-listed control group (n=21) suggested that
1. Yoga therapy displayed a significant improvement in arousal and lubrication in compared to the control group.
2. Yoga also showed an improvement of systolic blood pressure yoga group than in the control group at the 12-week follow up

Dr. Kim HN, the led author said, " yoga may be an effective treatment for sexual dysfunction in women with metabolic syndrome as well as for metabolic risk factors".

Additionally, in the study of 60 Iranian women with multiple sclerosis (MS) placed in two equally divided control and case groups through random selection to assess pre-and post-effects of yoga exercises on their physical activities and sexual satisfaction levels, researchers at the joint study led by the Yasuj University of Medical Sciences, found that
1. Women participated into yoga class expressed a significant statistical difference in physical activity and sexual satisfaction levels in compared to control
2. Yoga intervention also manifested improvement in physical ability

Taking altogether, Yoga intervention may be considered as an integrated forms of therapy used combined with standard treatment in improved sexual function in women, particularly in women with metabolic syndrome and multiple sclerosis.

Coffee intake daily and regularly may have a potential effect in improved insulin resistance, thus reducing risk of early onset of diabetes, a university study proposed.

Insulin resistance is a condition characterized by lowered level of insulin response to level of glucose (sugar) in the body.

Coffee, becoming a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roasted bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

In a study of the effect of coffee against insulin resistance of Male C57BL/6N mice (N = 48) divided into six dietary groups: chow diet, HFD, HFD-supplemented with 0.1%, 0.3%, and 0.9% decaffeinated green coffee bean extract, researchers found that treatment of the minimum dose 0.3%.of green coffee bean extract showed a mostly significant effect in improved insulin levels caused by HFD- diet.

Further more, decaffeinated green coffee bean extract in the study also expressed reversely fat accumulation and insulin resistance caused by HFD diet by downregulating the genes involved in adipogenesis and inflammation in fat tissues involved insulin resistance.

Other, in the testing of bioactive substances in coffee in expression of acutely and/or chronically increase insulin secretion from β-cells and improvement of insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle cells, measurement of insulin secretion after Insulin secretion at acute (1-h) and long-term (72-h) incubation, the bioactive substances from coffee exerted the following results
1. Bioactive compound isolated from coffee at 10(-8) and 10(-6) M acutely increased insulin secretion by 12% and 16% respectively.
2. Long-term exposure to cafestol at 10(-10) and 10(-8) M increased insulin secretion by 34% and 68%,
respectively.
3. Caffeic acid, another compound isolated from coffee also increased insulin secretion acutely and chronically.
4. Compounds showed no association to insulin secretion, included Chlorogenic acid, trigonelline, oxokahweol, and secoisolariciresinol.

In support to the above analysis, the antidiabetic effects of coffee and caffeine on high-fat-diet-induced impaired glucose tolerance in C57BL/6J mice. C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet given regular drinking water (control group), or a 2.5-fold-diluted coffee or caffeine solution (200 mg/L) for 17 weeks. indicated that group treated with injection of coffee caffeine strongly improve glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and hyperinsulinemia in compared with mice in the control group.

And coffee and caffeine exerted an ameliorative effect on high-fat-diet-induced impaired glucose tolerance through reduced inflammatory expression in gene and cytokins in improving insulin sensitivity.

Taking together, coffee may have a potential capability in reduced risk of Insulin Resistance and early onset of diabetes through attenuated insulin resistance by bioactive compounds such as cafestol and caffeic aciid

Scientists may have found a food whole plant in exerting neuroprotective effect, the renowned institute study suggested.

According to the MVP Samaj's College of Pharmacy, methinic extract of beet fed to experiment animal showed a significant effect in increased motor function at 200, and 300 mg/kg, in doses depending manner.

Neuroprotection is an action used to ensure the brain normal function against nerve cells damage, degeneration in inducing impairment.

Beet, best known as the beetroot or garden beet and belonging to the amaranth family, is a perennial plant with leafy stems growing to 1–2 m tall.

According to the MVP Samaj's College of Pharmacy, methinic extract of beet fed to experiment animal showed a significant effect in increased motor function at 200, and 300 mg/kg, in doses depending manner.

Oral administrated animal also showed a strong improvement of intensity of muscular rigidity, duration of catalepsy, akinesia, the number of tremors, locomotor activity and grip strength.

The efficacy of the extracted in contribution of brain health may be a result of present phytochemicals in restoring the defensive antioxidant enzymes in the brain against level of lipid peroxidation (LPO), a leading cause of neuro degeneration.

More interestingly, Betalains, major phytochemicals isolated from beetroot also expressed a extraordinary neuro protective effect in preventing oxidative processes in contribution to the early onset of several degenerative diseases.

In the study of betanin bioavailability in four volunteers with consumption 300 mL of red beet juice, containing 120 mg of the antioxidant, reseraches found that the phytochemical showed a protection against certain oxidative stress-related disorders in humans after absorbed from the gut and identified in urine after 2-4 h, particularly in inhibited lipid peroxidation, a leading cause of neuro degenerative disease.

Dr. Kanner J, the lead author said, "Antioxidant nutrients from fruits and vegetables are believed to be a class of compounds that exert their effects in humans by preventing oxidative processes which contribute to the onset of several degenerative diseases".

Collectively, Whole food beetroot or beet juice may be used as therapeutic agent for preventing the early onset and treatment of neuro degenerative disease through protection of neuro cells against oxidation.

Food Therapy : Coffee, A functional Food for Prevention of Hepatic Cirrhosis

By Kyle J. Norton

Intake of coffee daily and regularly may have a profound and therapeutic effect in reduced risk and treatment of Hepatic Cirrhosis

Coffee, second to green tea, is a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, made from roasted bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

Hepatic Cirrhosis in a condition characterized the abnormal function of liver due to presence of live damage or scarring.

In the experiments in cellular and animal models provided biological plausibility, coffee consumption exhibited liver protective effect in prevent the Cirrhosis developing through its as antifibrotic activity.

According to the Arauz and colleagues study in the examine one of the key questions regarding the antifibrotic role of coffee, coffee as specifically primary antifibrotic agent.may be considered as function food in prevent and treatment of chronic liver disease.

Dr. Dranoff J in the analysis Coffee Consumption and Risk of of Cirrhosis suggested that coffee consumption is inversely related to progression of liver fibrosis to cirrhosis and even hepatocellular carcinoma.

Furthermore, in the study to evaluate the hepatoprotective properties of coffee and caffeine in a model of chronic bile duct ligation (BDL) in male Wistar rats.with liver injury induced by 28-day BDL, assigned to administered group of conventional coffee, decaffeinated coffee, or caffeine daily, researchers at the lead Autonomous University of Baja California, filed the following results

1. Intake of coffee showed significant effects in promoted antioxidant status by restoring the redox equilibrium, preventing the elevation of liver enzymes as well as hepatic glycogen depletion.
2. Coffee and caffeine consumption prevented collagen increases
3. Coffee intake reduced protein in expression in promote hepatic infectous cell activation,
4. Coffee intake decreased expression levels of transforming growth factor-β, connective tissue growth factor, α-smooth muscle actin, and collagen in inducing further damage in a tested model of chronic bile duct ligation (BDL).

The result indicated that coffee intake have a strong efficacy in prevent liver cirrhosis developing through anti oxidant activity, hepaprotective effect, reduced profibrotic molecules anti proinflammation involved expression of Cirrhosis.

More interestingly, in the comparison of total 195 patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD) consumed coffee on a daily basis and 184 patients did not. researchers at the joint study lead by the University Hospital of Heidelberg found that coffee consumption in fact ameliorated progression of liver cirrhosis and increased long-term survival after liver transplantation in compared to non drinker.

With all the information found, one may considered coffee as a function food in attenuated risk and treatment of liver cirrhosis through its liver protective effect via phytochemicals in demonstration of antioxidant expression.

Alternative Therapy: Yoga in Reduced Chronic Neck Pain Intensity

Kyle J. Norton

Yoga intervention may have a positive effect in reduced chronic neck pain, a significant public health problem with only very few evidence-based treatment options, a university study suggested.

Yoga, the ancient technique practice for harmonized external and internal body well being, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been well known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes and supported by health advocates.

In the study of total of 51 patients (mean age 47.8 y ; 82.4% female) randomized to yoga (n=25) and exercise (n=26) intervention, with the yoga group attended a 9-week yoga course and the exercise group received a self-care manual on home-based exercises for neck pain relief, researchers found that
1. After the end of the study, yoga group expressed a significantly less neck pain intensity in compared to the exercise group
2. Yoga group also showed a less disability and better mental quality of life
3. The same group also experienced improvement of motion and the pressure pain threshold.

Dr. Cramer H, the led author said, "Yoga was more effective in relieving chronic nonspecific neck pain than a home-based exercise program" and "yoga seems to influence the functional status of neckmuscles, as indicated by improvement of physiological measures of neck pain."

Additionally, in the study of 51 patients with chronic nonspecific neck pain (mean age 47.8 years; 82.4% female) assigned to 9-week yoga group intervention, researchers at the University of Duisburg-Essen, filed the following reports at 12-month follow-up, in patients expressed
1. Pain intensity decreased from 48.81 to 32.31 ,
2. Neck-related disability decreased from 25.26 to 19.49 and
3. Body pain in the SF-36((short-form 36 questionnaire) improved from 49.37 to 59.26

The study also indicated that
1. Improvements in pain intensity depends in yoga practice during the past 4 weeks
2. Improved neck-related disability and bodily pain depends on regular yoga practice during the past 12 months

According to the returned questionnaire, 68% of patient reported that yoga intervention may have some positive effects in their health.

Dr. Cramer H,once again said, "Sustained yoga practice seems to be the most important predictor of long-term effectiveness".

More importantly, In a pilot randomized controlled clinical trial of 72 patients randomized to a 9-week Iyengar yoga program with weekly 90-minute classes (n = 38) or to a self-care/exercise program (n = 38) with patients examined at baseline and after 4 and 10 weeks, researchers filed the following reports
1. Mean pain at rest was reduced from 44.3 to 13.0 at week 10 in yoga group
2. Pain at motion was reduced from 53.4 to 22.4 at week 10, in compared to the interval of 49.4 to 39.9 in self-care/exercise froup
3. Yoga intervention also showed significant treatment effects pain-related apprehension, disability, QOL, and psychological outcomes.
4 Yoga intervention was safe or well tolerated

After taking into account of other risk factors, the study postulated that yoga appears to be an effective treatment in chronic neck pain with possibly additional effects on psychological well-being and QOL.

Taking altogether, there is no doubt that yoga therapy may have a potential effect in reduced chronic neck pain as well as improving psychological well-being and quality of life, but sustained yoga practice seems to be the most important predictor of long-term effectiveness.

Food Therapy: Moderated Drinking Coffee and Coffee Caffeine in Reduced Risk of Heart Failure, Particularly in Women

By Kyle J. Norton

Intake of coffee and coffee caffeine daily and regularly is associated to reduced risk of heart failure, a renowned university study suggested.

Coffee, a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roasted bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

In the review literature from the electronic databases (MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL) from January 1966 through December 2011, including five independent prospective studies of coffee consumption and heart failure risk, including 6522 heart failure events and 140 220 participants satisfied the a standardized protocol, researchers found that coffee consumption displayed a statistically significant J-shaped relationship between coffee and heart failure.

The most effective serving of coffee in reduced risk of heart failure incidence was 4 servings/day.
but risk of heart failure increased substantially for people drinking more than 4 cups daily and regularly.

Furthermore, other factors such as sex or by baseline history of myocardial infarction or diabetes showed insignificant risk to heart failure developing.

Dr. Mostofsky E, the lead author said, "Moderate coffee consumption is inversely associated with risk of heart failure, with the largest inverse association observed for consumption of 4 servings per day".

Additionally, in cohorts studies, included 59,490 Finnish participants aged 25-74 years, free of HF at baseline, risk of HF associated with the amount of coffee consumption daily (0, 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-9 and ≥10 cups) were 1.00, 0.9, 0.88, 0.91, 0.96 and 1.02 for men and 1.00, 0.73, 0.77, 0.68, 0.80 and 0.88 for women, respectively.

The result indicated a strong correlation between coffee intake daily and regularly in ameliorated risk of heart failure in women,and coffee consumption was not associated to increase the risk of HF in men. regardless to other independent factors such as age, smoking status, alcohol consumption, history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and body mass index.

Promisingly, according to the meta-analyses of recent well-controlled prospective epidemiologic studies, conducted by the National University of Singapore and National University Health System, coffee-consumption associated with a lower risk of heart failure and for most healthypeople, moderate coffee consumption is unlikely to adversely affect cardiovascular health.

Taking altogether, Moderated intake of coffee may have a profound effect in attenuated risk of heart failure, particularly in women, after taking into account of other factors.

Alternative Therapy: Yoga intervention in Reduced Symptoms and Management of Multiple Sclerosis?

Kyle J. Norton (Scholar, Master of Nutrients, All right reserved)

Yoga therapy may have a therapeutic effect in reduced symptoms and improved quality of life in patient with multiple sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic condition of progressive disease affecting sheaths of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, with declining physical, emotional, and psychological symptoms such as numbness, impairment of speech and of muscular coordination, blurred vision, ........

Yoga, the ancient technique practice for harmonized external and internal body well being, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been well known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

According to the study conducted by the Oregon State University, yoga practice may be used as an integrated form of treatment and management of symptoms of MS.

Dr. Rogers KA, the led author said, "the purpose of this paper is to summarize the most relevant literature on exercise and mind-body modalities to treat MS symptoms and, more specifically, the benefits and potential role of yoga as an alternative treatment of symptom management for individuals with MS".

Interestingly, in a study of total of 60 Iranian women with multiple sclerosis (MS) placed in two equally divided control and case groups through random selection to assess pre-and post-effects of yoga exercises on their physical activities and sexual satisfaction levels, researchers, through observation of returned questionnaire suggested that
1. Women participated in yoga training and exercises for 3 months, expressed a significant statistical difference in physical activity
2. Sexual satisfaction levels
3. Women in yoga group displayed improvement in physical ability.

Contrastively, in the searching of database from Medline/PubMed, Scopus, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PsycINFO, CAM-Quest, CAMbase, and IndMED through March 2014, for studies involved the efficacy and safety of yoga in patients with multiple sclerosis including health-related quality of life, fatigue, and/or mobility with mood, cognitive function, and safety were defined as secondary outcome measures, researchers at the University of Duisburg-Essen reported the following result, in 7 studies met the criteria and guidelines
1. Patients participated in yoga class short terms demonstrated a significantly improved effect in fatigue and mood change.
2. Short term yoga innervation do not improved health-related quality of life, muscle function, or cognitive function
3. Yoga therapy is safe and was not associated with serious adverse event in this group of patients

After taking into account of other risk factors, Dr. Cramer H, the led author said, " since no methodological sound evidence was found, no recommendation can be made regarding yoga as a routine intervention for patients with multiple sclerosis. Yoga might be considered a treatment option for patients who are not adherent to recommended exercise regimens".

The information collected did not agree that yoga intervention short term can improve some symptoms and quality of life in patients with MS, therefore, a large sample size and cohost studies are necessary to clarify these contradictory results.

Alternative Therapy: Yoga in Prevention and Treatment of Eating Disorders

Kyle J. Norton

Yoga may be considered as an adjunct therapy combined with standard treatment for lower risk and treatment of eating disorders (EDs), a review study suggested.

Eating Disorders are a group of abnormal eating habits associated to a person preoccupation weight, involving either insufficient or excessive food intake.

Yoga therapy is an ancient practical technique of India, included breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture,..... with an aim to achieve harmonization of the body, mind, and spirit.

In a systematic review literature used yoga for preventing and treating EDs with selection of 14 articles satisfied the guidelines, researchers found that most yoga practitioners indicated a decreased risk for eating disorder but symptoms were reduced or unchanged after yoga interventions.

Other, in the assessment of the effect of individualized yoga treatment on eating disorder outcomes among adolescents receiving outpatient care for diagnosed eating disorders (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, eating disorder not otherwise specified) of 50 girls and 4 boys aged 11-21 years randomized to an 8-week trial of standard care vs. individualized yoga plus standard care, researchers filed the following results

1. Yoga participants demonstrated greater decreases in eating disorder symptoms, according to Eating Disorder Examination(EDE)
2. Both groups maintained current BMI levels and decreased in anxiety and depression over time.

3. Eating Disorder Examination(EDE) was back to baseline after the 12 week lessons.

Dr. Carei TR, the led author said, "Individualized yoga treatment decreased EDE scores at 12 weeks, and significantly reduced food preoccupation immediately after yoga sessions". In other words, long term yoga participation may be more effective in treatment of eating disorder.

Additionally, in the testing the effective of yoga in decreasing risk factors, and increasing protective factors, for eating disorders, even with inconsistent results across studies researchers found that
1. Yoga lesson was a low cost treatment program
2. Yoga may offer promise for the field of eating disorders, including
* Eating disorder prevention can be integrated into ongoing yoga classes
* Yoga can be integrated into eating disorder prevention program with patients already in standard care

Dr. Neumark-Sztainer D said, "Regarding treatment, it is important to examine the effectiveness of different teaching styles and practices for different eating disorders".

Taking altogether, there is no doubt that yoga as low cost program may have a profound and positive effect in reduced risk and treatment of eating disorder. Unfortunately, most studies observed have weaknesses in their designs (e.g. observational design, no control groups, or small sample sizes) and not consistent across studies, further studies, using stronger study designs, such as randomised, controlled trials, are needed.

Food Therapy: Beet, the Best functional Food in Exhibited Hepatoprotective Effects

Kyle J. Norton

Beet may be considered as a functional food to protect liver against any forming of liver disorders a renowned institute proposed.

Liver diseases are class of disease characterized by disordered function of liver, including cirrhosis, hepatitis,hepatitis B, hepatitis C, non alcoholic liver disease, non-infectious liver diseases, benign liver tumor, liver cancer,......

Beet, best known as beetroot or garden beet, belonging to the amaranth family, is a perennial plant with leafy stems growing to 1–2 m tall.

According to Dr. Hari Singh Gour Vishwavidyalaya, Beta vulgaris Linn. (BV, Chenopodiaceae) leaves extract showed a significant effect in protect liver against hepatoxicity, measured by levels of serum markers enzymes together with antioxidants.

In vitro studies, n-butanol fraction of BV leaves (BVBF) isolated from beet, at doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg exhibited liver protective action against ethanol-induced hepatic toxicity by restorating of biochemical changes in liver tissues.

Furthermore, in carbontetrachloride (CCl(4))-induced liver toxicity injured rats, oral administrated ethanolic extract of Beta vulgaris roots exerted a profound hepatoprotective activity at doses of 1000, 2000 and 4000 mg/kg.

Moreover, in the finding of new phytochemicals isolated from beetroot, researchers found that vitexin 7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3), and vitexin 2''-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, the new compounds also exhibited hepatoportective effect at rates of 65.8 and 56.1%, respectively in rat induced liver toxicity model.

More importantly, others's newly differentiated flavonoids, 2",2"'-di-O-α-rhamnopyranosyl-vicenin II, a di-C-glycosyl flavone, and herbacetin 3-O-β-xylopyranosyl- (1"' --> 2")-O-β-glucopyranoside extracted from leaves of beet, once again demonstrated hepatoprotective effects in intoxicated rat by administration of acetaminophen.

Additionally, the newly acquired compounds of above also demonstrated hypolipidemic activity in reduced risk of liver diseases in rats with high-fat-diet.

Taking together, beet is a potent functional food with plenty liver protective phytochemicals used for prevention and treatment of liver disease.

Food Therapy: Coffee< or = 3 Cups/day in Reduced Risk of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Incidence

Kyle J. Norton, Master of Nutrients

Total coffee intake daily is associated to non risk factor but attenuated risk of incidence of rheumatoid arthritis, the joint study by the Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston and a Asian study, suggested, respectively.

Coffee, a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roasted bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic disorder as a result of inflammation, affecting mostly the flexible (synovial) joints and tissues and organs in the body.

The disease affects more women than men and generally occurs after the ages of 40, causing diminished quality of life of many elders.

In the follow up study of 83,124 women, completed the FFQ at baseline, the diagnosis of incident RA(between 1980 and 2000) with a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) completed every 4 years, from baseline in 1980 through 1998, researchers found that

1. Decaffeinated coffee consumption of >/=4 cups/day (compared with no decaffeinated coffee consumption) showed no subsequent risk of incident RA
2. There was no relationship of incidence of RA or reduced incidence RA in caffeinated coffee consumption, regardless to numbers of cup intake daily.
3.Total coffee and total caffeine consumption were also not associated with the risk of RA.

On the other hand, according to the Korea University College of Medicine, the numbers of coffee intake daily in reduced RA incidence were substantially different in number studies.The highest category of coffee intake in Heliovaara et al. cohort study from Finland was up to 13 cups per day, while US studies was > 4 cups coffee intake per day.

The study also emphasized that caffeine showed no significant association of RA incidence in compared to caffeinated coffee consumption in ameliorated risk RA incidence.

Furthermore, the study in valuated coffee, tea, and caffeine consumption and risk factors for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) onset among older women, indicated that risk of RA reduced substantially with drinking > 3 cups/day of decaffeinated coffee in compared to non drinkers.

Interestingly, women who have never drunk coffee before showed an increased risk RA if daily intake of decaffeinated coffee is over 4 cups.

Dr. Mikuls TR, the lead author said, "Decaffeinated coffee intake is independently and positively associated with RA onset" and "Further investigations of decaffeinated coffee and tea intake as arthritis risk factors are needed to verify these findings and explore their biologic basis".

Collectively, the finding evidences suggested that coffee intake is not an independent risk factor but a reduced risk parameters for onset of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) incidence, depending to numbers of cup consumption per day.

Herbal Therapy: Green tea, The Best Drink for Reduced Risk and Treatment of Hypertension

Kyle J. Norton, Master of Nutrients

Regular drinking of green tea may have a potential effect in maintaining normal blood pressure and reduced risk of hypertension , a recent study suggested.

Hypertension is abnormal high of blood pressure, one of the major risk factor in contributed early onset of cardiovascular disease.

Green tea, considered as a functional food, linking numbers of health benefit has been reported by several renowned research and studies. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine ,or food, long term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, induced "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weaken immunity and painful case of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory. Adding one slice of ginger will do the trick of neutralization.

Hypertension of male Wistar rats induced by the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor [N-nitro-L-arginine-methyl-ester (L-NAME); 20 mg/kg per day, orally, for 2 weeks], fed with green tea extract exhibited a strong effect in reduced hypertension (119 ± 1 mmHg) and higher renal sympathetic nerve activity (161 ± 12 spikes/s) than the control group (97 ± 2 spikes/s).
Green tea oral administration also showed a significant decreased in hypertensive parameter by ameliorated.arterial baroreceptor function and vascular and systemic oxidative stress.

Furthermore, in a total of 20 Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats at 13 weeks old with matabolic syndrome randomized into a saline treated group (OLETF; n = 10) and a group treated with decaffeinated-GTE (25 mg/kg/day) (GTE-OLETF; n = 10), group fed with decaffeinated-GTE significantly reduced BP (OLETF vs. GTE-OLETF; 130 ± 7 vs. 121 ± 3 mmHg, p = 0.01) in compared control fed with saline.

The study also suggested that fed mice with green tea also showed an anti hypertensive effect in reduced vascular reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and NADPH in generation of ROS, as well as improving endothelium (cell lines the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels)and lymphatic vessels dependent relaxation.

Dr. Ihm SH, the lead author said," (green tea extract) improved endothelial dysfunction and IR, and eventually lowered BP".

Taking together, there is no doubt that green tea processes a significant effect in reduced risk and treatment of hypertension through reduced oxidative stress and improved vascular relaxation as well as decreased metabolic syndrome in exaggerated hypertension.

Food Therapy: Excessive Coffee and Coffee Caffeine Intake in Risk of Acute Diuresis?

By Kyle J. Norton

Coffee intake may have a diuretic effect in increased urinary secretion, a recent study by a renowned institute suggested

Coffee, a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roasted bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

In an observation study of 10 healthy adults (eight males and two females; age: 27 ± 5 years, weight: 89.5 ± 14.8 kg, height: 1.75 ± 0.08 m, and body mass index: 29.1 ± 4.4 kg m-2) ingested either 200 mL of water (W), or coffee with low caffeine (3 mg kg-1, LCAF), or coffee with high caffeine (6 mg/ kg, HCAF) on three respective separate occasions, researchers found that group injected with high caffeine coffee with (6 mg kgHCAF)demonstrated a greater diuresis during the 3-h period in compared to groups treated with W (356 ± 53 mL) and LCAF.

Furthermore, volume of urinary secretion of the injection of coffee with high caffeine groups HCAF was 425 mmol in compared to groups injected with W of 249 mmol) and LCAF of 177 mmol.

Dr.Seal AD1, the lead author siad, " caffeine intake of 6 mg/kg in the form of coffee can induce an acute diuretic effect, while 3 mg/kg do not disturb fluid balance in healthy casual coffee drinking adults at rest".

Contrast to the general belief, coffee consumption does not significantly reduce the fluid balance. According to the University of Birmingham, intake of coffee moderately may have similar hydrating qualities to water, when consumed in moderation.

Additionally, in the review of literature by searching the Medline database of articles published in the medical and scientific literature for the period of January 1966-March 2002, Dr. Maughan RJ, the lead author said, " acute ingestion of caffeine in large doses (at least 250-300 mg, equivalent to the amount found in 2-3 cups of coffee or 5-8 cups of tea) results in a short-term stimulation of urine output in individuals who have been deprived of caffeine for a period of days or weeks".

Interestingly, in a counterbalanced cross-over design, 50 male coffee drinkers (habitually consuming 3-6 cups per day) participated in two trials, each lasting three consecutive days, with controlled physical activity, food and fluid intake, participants also consumed either 4×200 mL of coffee containing 4 mg/kg caffeine (C) or water (W), researchers filed the following results
1. Intake of coffee during this period showed no significant changes in total body water (TBW) with no differences between trials.
2. Volume urinary secretion showed no difference in the period of examination and between 2 groups.
3. No change of nude body mass measurement (BM) in the period and between 2 groups.

Dr. Seal AD, the lead author said, " (there were) no significant differences across a wide range of haematological and urinary markers of hydration status between trials".

The implication of this result insisted that consumption of caffeine-containing beverages as part of a normal lifestyle do not lead to fluid loss in excess of the volume or poor hydration status other than people with deprived of caffeine for a period of days or weeks.

Taking tighter, the contradictory results regarded to coffee and coffee caffeine intake in increased urinary volume secretion may require more illustrations from a large sample sizes and mutli centers studies before the claim can be made either ways.

Food Therapy: Maternal Coffee Intake > 4 Cups/Day in Risk of Miscarriage?

By Kyle J. Norton

Risk of miscarry is increased substantially in excessive coffee drinkers during pregnancy, an Asian study suggested

Coffee, one of most popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roasted bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

Miscarriage is the expulsion of a fetus from the womb between the 12th and 28th weeks of gestation.

In a case-controlled study conducted in Milan of 561 (72%) cases of spontaneous abortion and 877 (57%) controls,coffee drinking during the first trimester of the index pregnancy with healthy women who gave birth at term (> 37 weeks gestation) to healthy infants as control, researchers reported that the risk of miscarry is classified as follow
1. Coffee intake of 1, 2 or 3, and 4 or more cups of coffee per day, are associated to increased risk of 1.2, 1.8 and 4.0, respectively in compared to non drinkers.
2. The risk of pregnancy loss also is associated to the duration in years of coffee drinking. The estimated multivariate odds ratios of spontaneous abortion were 1.1 in comparison to non-coffee intake group.

Further more, in the evaluated effect of caffeine in influence of miscarriage researchers at the Boston University School of Public Health, conducted a prospective cohort study included 5132 Danish women planning pregnancy, enrolled from 2007 to 2010, after carefully assessed the returned beverage consumption on questionnaires, researcher found that a significantly miscarried risk is 1.62 higher in women consumed more that 300 mg/day of caffeine per day, in compared to 1.09 in women who consumes <100 mg/day. Specifically, women with daily intake of caffeine of
1. <100 mg/day showed a materially associated with SAB risk of 1.09
2. 100-199mg/day showed a materially associated with SAB risk of 0,89
3. 200-299mg/day showed a materially associated with SAB risk of 1.33

Other, in prospective cohort study included 15,590 pregnancies from 11,072 women with no history of SAB in the Nurses' Health Study II (1991-2009) with beverage intake assessed every 4 years using a validated questionnaire in case pregnancies lost spontaneously at <20 weeks gestation, total coffee intake had a positive, linear association with SAB.

In compared to non pre-pregnancy coffee intake, risk of SAB increased by 20% for women consuming ≥4 servings/day.

More importantly, Dr. Gaskins AJ, the lead author said, "Pre-pregnancy coffee consumption at levels ≥4 servings/day is associated with increased risk of SAB, particularly at weeks 8-19".

Taking together, there is no doubt that coffee may contribute to a relative risk of miscarry for women consuming more than 4 cup per day. Women who are pregnant between 12 to 28 weeks of gestation with excessive coffee intake habit are recommended to consult with their doctors.

Alternative Therapy: Yoga in Improved Physical and Psychological Aspects in Alzheimer's disease and AD Caregivers

Yoga used in combination with compassion meditation may have a positive impact in improved quality of life, attention, vitality,... in patients with Alzheimer's disease, a recent study suggested.

Yoga, the ancient technique practice for harmonized external and internal body well being, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been well known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

In a total of 46 volunteers randomly allocated to two groups, the yoga and compassion meditation program group (n = 25), with program lasted 8 weeks, comprised three yoga and meditation practices per week, with each session lasting 1 h and 15 min and the control group (CG), researchers, after assessed other co founders, found that yoga attendees expressed statistically significant improvements (P < 0.05) on quality of life, attention, vitality and self-compassion scores in compared to control.

Additionally, in the examined feasibility of older adults with Alzheimer's disease (AD)-type dementia in 8 weeks of the Sit 'N' Fit Chair Yoga Program, researchers indicated that all participants showed a steady and progressive improvement over the course of program in 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 1 month period.

Due to small size of this sample, Dr, McCaffrey R, the led researchers said, "Further study, using a larger sample and including a control group, is needed to fully determine the effect of the Sit 'N' Fit Chair Yoga Program on older adults with moderate to severe AD".

More importantly, in the concern of familial caregivers of patients of Alzheimer's disease in reduced quality of life and increased stress levels, researchers conducted a study of 46 volunteers randomly assigned to participate in a stress-reduction program for a 2-month period (yoga and compassion meditation program-YCMP group) (n = 25), at the end, familial caregivers attended the program group exhibited a reduction of the stress, anxiety, and depression levels, as well as a reduction in the concentration of salivary cortisol.

Taking altogether, Yoga, the integrated form of exercise not only improved physical and psychological aspects in patients with moderate and severe AD, but also reduced stress, anxiety and depression of familial caregiver in AD patients.

Food Therapy: Coffee, A Potent and Functional Food in Reduced Risk of Endometrial Cancer

By Kyle J. Norton

In take of caffeinated coffee may have a reduced risk and treatment of Endometrial cancer, an Asian joint study supposed.

Coffee, becoming a popular and social beverage all over the world, particular in the West, is a drink made from roast bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

Endometrial cancer is a medical condition characterized by cell growth disorderly and uncontrollably in the endometriosis. In the later stage, the cancer can spread to distant parts of tissues or organs.

In the review of published data of a total 1,534,039 participants from 13 published articles added in this meta-analysis, researchers found that reduced risk of endometrial cancers incidence is associated to coffee intake to patients never treated with any forms hormone therapies and either overweight or obese.

The relative odd ratio in these group of people were 0.66 and 0.77, respectively, correlated to decaffeinate and caffeine coffee intake.

In fact, the risk of endometrial cancer deceased by 5% for every additional cup of coffee consumed.

In compared to decaffeinate coffee, caffeinated coffee showed a stronger in attenuated risk of 7% instead of 4% in decaffeinated intake,

The study also addressed that caffeine found in coffee may have a potential in enhanced coffee effects in ameliorated endometrial cancer expression. Risk of cancer is reduced by 4% for every 100mg caffeine intake per day.

In a 26 years follow-up study of 67,470 female participants aged 34 to 59 in 1980 of the Nurses' Health Study (NHS), returned questionnaires by the participants indicated that
1. Women drinking less than 4 cups of coffee per day were not associated with endometrial cancer risk.
2. Women drinking more than 4 cups coffee per day displayed a 25% decreased risk of endometrial cancer in compared to women who drank fewer that 1 cup per day.

Dr. Je Y, the lead author said, "For decaffeinated coffee consumption, a suggestive inverse association was found among women who consumed 2 or more cups per day versus <1 cup/mo."

Interestingly, the menopause women, the primary analyses included 45,696 women and 427 incident endometrial cancer cases, diagnosed over a total of 342,927 person-years of follow-up, suggested that
1. No association of endometrial cancer risk in coffee consumption in compared to non-daily drinkers (none or <1 cup/day),
2. Women who drank ≥4 cups/day have a relative odd ration of were 0.86. 0.63, for total coffee with 0.89 for caffeinated coffee, and 0.51 (95% CI 0.25, 1.03) for decaf coffee.
3. In obese women, compared to control group (none or <1 cup/day), women who drank ≥2 cups/day had a relative odd ratio of 0.72 for total coffee, 0.66 for caffeinated coffee. and 0.67 decaffeinated coffee drinkers.

Taking together, intake of coffee is associated to reduced risk of endometrial cancer in healthy and menopause women regardless to weight mass.

Food Therapy: Maternal Coffee > 4 Cups/day or Coffee Caffeine > 2 Cups/day Intake in Increased Risk of Congenital Malformations

By Kyle J. Norton

A renowned institute suggested that coffee consumption in high doses during pregnancy may have a directed influence in congenital malformations of fetus.

Coffee, a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roasted bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

Congenital malformation is birth defect with structural or functional abnormalities existed in the mother womb, before the infant was born.

In 755 pairs of mothers of malformed children and their controls personally interviewed soon after delivery consisted of mothers of children with 112 defects of the central nervous system, 241 orofacial clefts, 210 structural defects of the skeleton, and 143 cardiovascular malformations, researchers suggested that although coffee consumption during pregnancy was similar for the mothers of malformed or non-malformed children, high coffee drinking at least four cups of coffee a day displayed a significantly increased relative risk of 1.3, in compared to with those not consuming coffee of 0.7.

Other, in the case-control study assessed associations between maternal dietary caffeine and congenital LDs using data from the National Birth Defects Prevention Study (NBDPS), with 844 LD cases and 8069 controls from 1997 to 2007, researchers, after adjusting to other risk factors found that total caffeine intake daily has a moderated effect in increased risk of congenital limb deficiencies (LDs) in compared to the lowest intake, regardless to amount of caffeine intake.
