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

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.

Further more, in multi-center case-control study interviewed mothers of 776 SB cases and 8,756 controls about pregnancy events and exposures between 1988-2012, according to the returned questionnaire, caffeine intake during the first lunar month of pregnancy  > 2 cups per day may have a directed effect in increased risk of Spina bifida.

Spina bifida is a congenital defect of the spine induced paralysis of the lower limbs, and sometimes mental handicap.

Additionally, according to data extracted from the National Birth Defects Prevention Study, a population-based case-control study in examine the associations between maternal self-reports of exposures and occurrence of choanal atresia in their offspring in 117 case and 8350 control mothers with deliveries from 1997 through 2007, researchers expressed that pre-pregnancy daily coffee intake of 3 or more cups displays a traumatic risk of offspring choanal atresia in compared to those who consumed less than 1 cup per day.

Choanal atresia is a congenital defect of the back of the nasal passage (choana) is blocked due to abnormal bony or soft tissue.

Taking altogether, intake of coffee more than 4 cups/day or Coffee Caffeine > 2 Cups/day during pregnancy may be considered as risk factors in increased risk of congenital malformations. Women with previous birth of congenital malformations, should reduce intake of coffee consumption to < or = 2 cups per day.

Alternative Therapy: Yoga In Reduced Symptoms of Patient with Fibromyalgia

Kyle J. Norton 

Yoga may be used as a form of therapeutic exercise in reduced risk and symptoms of fibromyalgia, the study by the Oregon Health & Science University suggested.

According to the American College of Rheumatology 1990 criteria for the Classification of Fibromyalgia  are
(1) Widespread pain in combination with
(2) Tenderness at 11 or more of the 18 specific tender point sites(a) as a result in responding to pressure.

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.

A study in comparison of post treatment data with 3-month follow-up data, from a per protocol sample of 21 fibromyalgia women in the immediate treatment group who had completed yoga treatment and 18 women in the wait-list group who had also completed treatment, researchers found that
1. Yoga group displayed a significant and positive post treatment results in compared to the wait-list group.
2. Both groups experienced similar improved results of 31.9% according to Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire Revised (FIQR) assay

3. After adjusting to other risk factors, 3 months follow-up results showed all patients sustained most of their post treatment gains, with the FIQR Total Score of 21.9% improvement.

Dr. Carson JW, the led author said, "Yoga practice rates were good, and more practice was associated with more benefit for a variety of outcomes".

More importantly, in the screened Clinicaltrials.Gov, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, PubMed and Scopus (through December 2010) and the reference sections of original studies for meditative movement therapies (MMT) in FMS, researchers at the University of Duisburg-Essen indicated that
1. Yoga attendees benefit from many aspects of yoga lessons, particularly in pain, fatigue, depression and HRQOL
2. Yoga groups expressed less sleep disturbances and thiis effect has a maintained range of a median of 4.5 months.in compared to control
3. The participants Drop out rate because of adverse events was 3.1%.
4. No serious adverse events were reported in yoga group.

Taking altogether, yoga may be used as an integrated form of exercise in conjunction with standard care or alone to reduced symptoms of patients with fibromyalgia

Alternative Therapy: Yoga, in The Early Onset and Treatment of Hyperglycemia

Kyle J. Norton 

Hyperglycemia is a condition of abnormal blood glucose in the blood stream and considered as the early sign of distastes development.

People who participated in yoga class are less likely to develop hyperglycemia, according to the India Institute of Medical Sciences.

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 the review of data collected on 98 subjects (67 male, 31 female), ages 20-74 years, with hypertension, coronary artery disease, rmellitus, and a variety of other illnesses, attended yoga class, researchers found that yoga treatment showed a significant improvement in hyperglycemia or and hypercholesterolemia through decreased fasting plasma glucose and total triglycerides as well as the preferred ratio of total cholesterol to high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.

Furthermore, in a total of 30 male diabetic patients attending diabetic clinic and 30 non-diabetic male volunteers constituted control group, conducted in the Department of Physiology and Diabetic clinic of a tertiary care teaching hospital over period of two years, all yoga attendees showed a significant reduction in mean values of FBS and PPBS at the end of six months when compared with the mean values before participating and in compared to control.

In fact, yoga therapy also found to be effective in improved glucose metabolism values in adolescent girls with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Further more, in a  randomized, intervention controlled trial recruited of 90 adolescents aged between 15 and 18 years who met the Rotterdam criteria for PCOS with yoga group practiced suryanamaskara, asanas, pranayama, and meditation 1 hour per day each day for 12 weeks, while another group practiced conventional physical exercises, researchers indicated that students in the yoga group displayed a better and significant changes in fasting insulin, fasting blood glucose, and improved insulin resistance in compared to exercise group.

Dr. Nidhi R, the lead author said, "Yoga was found to be more effective than conventional physical exercises in improving glucose, lipid, and insulin values, including insulin resistance values, in adolescent girls with PCOS independent of anthropometric changes".

Taking altogether, yoga may be used as a potential therapeutic source in reduced risk and treatment of Hyperglycemia for prevention of early onset of diabetes..

Food Therapy: Coffee and Coffee Caffeine in Reduced Risk and Treatment of Oral Cancer

Kyle J. Norton



Coffee and coffee caffeine may have a profound effect in reduced risk and treatment of oral cancer, a renowned cancer society study suggested.

Oral cancer is a medical condition characterized by cell growth disorderly and irregularly in the mouth region, including the lips, tongue, cheeks, floor of the mouth, hard and soft palate, sinuses, and pharynx. At he later stage, infectious cells may travel a distance away from the original site to other tissues and organs.

Coffee, second to green tea is one most 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.

In a prospective US cohort study begun in 1982 by the American Cancer Society, including 968,432 men and women with cancer free at enrollment, 868 deaths due to oral/pharyngeal cancer occurred during 26 years of follow-up, researchers file the following results, without modifying other factors such as sex, smoking status, or alcohol use.
1. In compared to no/occasional drinkers, patients drinking more than 4 cups of caffeine coffee per day showed a risk of oral/pharyngeal cancer death reduced by 49% with relative risk of cancer developing of .51.
2. Also in compared to the no and occasional groups, patients drinking more than 4 cups of coffee per day had a relative risk ratio of .61.

According to the Epidemiology Research Program, American Cancer Society, intake of caffeinated coffee showed a significantly inverse association in reduced risk and motility of oral/pharyngeal cancer, linearly in dose depending manner.

Additionally, in data extracted from the Miyagi Cohort Study in Japan, including 38,679 subjects aged 40-64 years with no previous history of cancer, 157 cases of oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal cancers identified during 13.6 years of follow-up, returned food frequency questionnaires from participants expressed the results as follow
1. Patients consumed > or =1 cups of coffee per day had a relative risk ratio of .51 in compared to no drinkers. group.
2. In take of caffeine coffee showed a inverse association with cancer incidence, regardless of sex and cancer site.

More interestingly, the study also emphasized that risk of cancer reduced in caffeine coffer consumption, even with people have been identified with high risk in cancer developing.

Dr. said, 'Hazard ratios were estimated by the Cox proportional hazards regression model. The risk of oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal cancers was inversely associated with coffee consumption".

More importantly, in support of the above analysis, the study on cases of esophageal cancer(395) in compared to 1066 cases of controls conducted by the Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche "Mario Negri" proposed that the same relative risk of  0.6  in both  oral/pharyngeal, and  esophageal cancer also found in subjects, drinking over >3 cups/ day. And there was no association between caffeine coffee in expression of reduced risk of cancers.

Taking altogether. coffee and coffee caffeine have a potential use as functional and therapeutic product in reduced risk and treatment of oral cancer. But Dr. Hildebrand JS, the lead author said, "Research is needed to elucidate biologic mechanisms whereby coffee might help to protect against these often fatal cancers.".

Food Therapy: Coffee A Potent and Functional Food in Reduced Risk and Treatment of Hyperglycemia

Kyle J. Norton


Epidemiological studies agreed that drinking coffee and coffee caffeine may have a potentially positive effect in reduced risk and treatment of hyperglycemia.

Hyperglycemia is a condition characterized by abnormal high of blood glucose in the blood stream.

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.

According to the Nagoya University, the study of antidiabetic effect of coffee and caffeine in spontaneously diabetic KK-A(y) mice,  given regular drinking water (controls) or 2-fold diluted coffee for 5 weeks, suggested that group treatment with coffee and coffee caffeine expressed a ameliorated development of hyperglycemia and improved insulin sensitivity in compared to water treatment group.

The efficacy of coffee and coffee caffeine in reduced risk of hyperglycemia may also be attributed to regulation of white adipose tissue mRNA levels in elevated the production of anti inflammatory mytokines.

Furthermore, researchers in the differentiation of the liver activity also found that although similar in treatment
1. Coffee injection improved the fatty liver and
2. Coffee caffeine exhibited the ameliorated hyperglycemia and  improved fatty liver.

In further to strengthen the result of the above analysis, the Nagoya University and other institution conducted a study related to the effect of coffee on pancreatic β-cells against induction of diabetes by streptozotocin (STZ), indicated that mice treated with coffee expressed a lowered or significantly lowered serum glucose concentration in compared to water ingestion group.

Dr. Kobayashi M, the lead researcher said, "coffee ingestion also suppressed the deterioration of hyperglycemia in diabetic mice which had been already injected with STZ" and "coffee ingestion prevented the development of STZ-induced diabetes and suppressed hyperglycemia in STZ-diabetic mice. Caffeine or decaffeinated coffee ingestion did not significantly suppress STZ-induced hyperglycemia".

Other, in the study of postprandial hyperglycemia as a direct and independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases showed that injection of coffee polyphenol may improve postprandial hyperglycemia and vascular endothelial function by increasing GLP-1 release in affecting gut motility, inhibit gastric acid secretion, and inhibit glucagon secretion. and/or reducing oxidative stress.

More importantly, in a total of Nineteen subjects consumed a test meal with either a placebo- or extract coffee polyphenol CPE-containing beverage, researcher showed that treatment group displayed a significantly lower peak postprandial increase in blood glucose in compared to placebo beverage group.

According to the correlation analysis, treatment group also improved impaired Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) postprandial response in associated with blood glucose increase after injecion of the CPE beverage.

Taking together, there is no doubt that coffee may be considered as a functional food used as therapeutic sunstance in reduced risk and treatment of  hyperglycemia.
