Food Therapy: Beet, Reduces Risk of Insulin Resistance and Early Onset of Diabetes

Kyle J. Norton

Beet juice containing phytochemicals may alter postprandial glucose and insulin responses in prediabetics, some scientists postulated.

Insulin resistance, a condition of not providing enough insulin to counter the rise of blood glucose is considered as the early progression of onset of diabetes.

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

Investigation of the efficacy of beet in ameliorated risk of insulin resistance may be associated different aspects involved numbers of mechanisms.

In a total of sixteen healthy individuals recruited, with consumed test meals in a controlled single-blind cross-over design, intake of beet juice showed a remarkable in countering the glucose uptake of glucose.

Tested subject reveled a significant lowering of the postprandial insulin response in the early phase and a significantly lower glucose response in the 0–30 min phase in compared to control fed with control beverage matched for macronutrient content (MCON).

Further analysis indicated that beet juice attenuated rise of glucose in the blood stream may be attributed to constituent of betacyanin betalain pigments which have been found to process anti glucose uptake and insulin resistance in patients with diabetes and other metabolic diseases and function of phytochemical polyphenols in stimulated insulin secretion and reduced hepatic glucose output by inhibited α-amylase, α-glucosidase and glucose absorption in the intestine.

α-Amylase is a protein enzyme having a function to convert hydrolysis of starch into sugars.
α-glucosidase is glucosidase in the small intestine with function to break down starch and disaccharides to sugars.

Additionally, in the homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance index, dietary nitrate from beet juice also showed a lower insulin resistance in test subjects in compared to control through regulation of glucose homeostasis and insulin signaling pathway, improvement of insulin resistance and lipid homeostasis, inflammation, and endothelial function.

Dr. Peter C, the lead researcher said, "Betalains, polyphenols and dietary nitrate found in the beetroot juice may each contribute to the observed differences in the postprandial insulin concentration".

Interestingly, in comparison the effect of ingredients of combined 100 ml black tea, beetroot juice or control (water) in 16 obese, insulin-resistant males, beetroot juice plus black tea and beet juice treated groups exhibited a decreased postprandial peripheral vascular resistance (VR) in resistance vessels, but lesser than black tea, in compared to other groups.

According to further examination, the efficacy of beet juice and black tea expressed a significant in attenuated insulin resistance was attributed to increased postprandial blood flow in induced glucose disposal and decreased postprandial insulin response by 29 %..

More profoundly, in standardized breakfasts with or without beet-fibre given, in random order, to non-insulin-dependent diabetics study, beet fiber intake individuals expressed a strong effect in rate of glucose decrease after the meal.with blood glucose levels monitored continuously and hormonal responses determined at regular intervals for 3 hr.

Both tested subjects did not exert notable differences with regard to the plasma levels of insulin, C-peptide or glucagon in regulated levels of blood glucose,

C-peptide is a substance involved proinsulin molecule produced by the beta cells in the pancreas.

According to the study, the over expression of levels of somatostatin, a growth hormone–inhibiting hormone induced by beet-fibre intake.may contribute to a potential effect in diminished glycemic response through reduced glucose absorption and a delayed gastrointestinal transit time.

The collective findings may provide a footage of using beet juice as a functional food in ameliorated risk of insulin resistance and prevented early onset of diabetes.

Food Therapy: Beet, The Best anti inflammatory functional Food

Kyle J. Norton

Intake of beet juice may have a reduced effect of inflammation through suppressing production of pro inflammatory cytokines produced by immunity.

Inflammation is the reaction of immune system in protected our body against foreign invasion cause of infection or tissues damage.

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

Intake of raw beet juice (RBJ) and cooked beet (CB) on BP of hypertensive subjects, showed a significant improvement of inflammation through regulating the cell signal protein in initiation of systemic inflammation involved in acute phase of inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and reducing high-sensitivity level of C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) which have a major effect in the onset of cardiovascular risk in both tested groups.

Although the reduced blood pressure is not sustainable in tested subjects after creasing intake of raw beet juice (RBJ) and cooked beet (CB), the improvement of endothelial function as a result of the presence of nitric oxide and systemic inflammation during the test are remarkable.

Endothelial dysfunction is a major risk factor of cardiovascular disease and precedes the development of atherosclerosis.

In muscle damage following a marathon of 30 recreationally active males, using a double blind, independent group design with doses of beetroot juice (H-BT; 250 ml), a lower dose of beetroot juice (L-BT; 125 ml), or an isocaloric placebo (PLA; 250 ml) immediately (×3 servings), oral administered beet juice groups, showed a faster recovery of muscle damage at 48 hours in compared control.

Further analysis, application of beetroot juice in any dose enhanced over expression of antioxidants induced recover of muscle damage not only was attributed to the juice function in reduced high-sensitivity level of C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) but also increased modulation of enzyme creatine kinase (CK) responsible in expression by various tissues and cell types during muscle damage.

The antioxidant effects of beet juice also displayed a significant activity in reduced gene interleukin-6 (IL-6) secreted by T cells and macrophages in production of pro inflammatory cytokine to induce the acute phase of inflammation caused by muscle damage and exhibited anti inflammatory mytokines in fighting against infection.

Additionally, administration of beetroot juice inhibited the release of neutrophils and regulated gene interleukin-8 (IL-8), a chemoattractant cytokine produced by a variety of tissue and blood cells in expression of inflammation in the site of damage.

Neutrophils is a type of immune cells released to site of infection by immunity. Over expression of neutrophils normally are an indication of acute infection.

Taking altogether, beet juice and products may have a remarkable effect in reduced risk of over inflammatory expression of immune system when come to muscle damage and infection caused by microorganisms.

Alternative Therapy: Yoga, The best in Ameliorated Prenatal Chronic Poor Sleep In Risk of Pregnancy Outcomes

Kyle J. Norton

Some pregnant women may experience sleep disturbance. Yoga as integrated form of intervention may have a profound effect in treatment of this syndrome through expression in reduction of related potential pathophysiological mechanisms, some scientists studies suggested.

Yoga, the ancient practical technique for harmonized external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been best 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 to review the clinical evidence of the association between conditions of sleep loss during pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcomes researchers at the joint study led by the University of Pisa, through papers published between January 1, 1960 and July 2013, suggested that chronic sleep loss frequently throughout the course of pregnancy may contribute to adverse pregnancy outcomes.
and chronic sleep loss during pregnancy as a result of stress and a physiological stressor per se, may also lead to stress 'overload' which has a negative in influence in pregnancy outcome.

Yoga exercise involved stretching, meditation and relaxing of muscles expressed a significant improvement of psychological arouses such as calmness, relaxation, reduced stress and promoted
physical and mental exertion may lead to less sleep latency, less sleep disturbances, and better sleep pattern.
Additionally, Yoga breathing exercises has shown to improve oxygen saturation through enhancing the strength of the lung muscles, thus increasing blood circulation which can be a positive factor in reduced sleep disorders like sleep apnea.

Further analysis, increased blood flow to the brain may improve brain cells in transfer and receive information properly, thus reducing risk of psychological tension which may have a negative influence the sleep efficiency.

Habitual snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome and insomnia were 3 common syndromes in pregnancy of breathing-related sleep disorders.

The investigation of whether sleep quality during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy have any effect to obstetric-neonatal outcomes, postulated that the incidence of poor sleep quality was found in 58% for second-trimester participants and 66% for third-trimester participants and women who experience third-trimester poor sleepers were more likely to have had a vacuum-assisted delivery.

Pregnancy influences to hormone change and increased trips to bathroom at night caused by early pregnancy systems may have a profound impact to induce poor sleep in first trimester.

Also, in third trimester, pregnant women may experience fewer periods of deep sleep and wake up more often during the night due to more trips to the bath as result of the growing baby putting pressure on the bladder. Reduced intake of fluid few hours before bed time may be helpful. Some women may also experience heartburn, leg cramps, restless leg syndrome, and snoring which may cause them awake during night sleep.

Indeed, snoring increases the chances of sleep disturbances by two fold was reported in some studies.

And snoring may be another indication of poor sleep pattern, yoga breathing improved the sleep efficiency by enhancing muscles of the throat, lung and strengthen the muscles of air flow passage reducing risk of obstructed nasal airways.

According to the University of Colorado Denver, sleep disorders are common in pregnancy and have maternal and fetal consequences if left untreated. Yoga breathing exercises might have beneficial effect by strengthening upper airway muscles resulting in less sleep disturbances observed in this population

Additionally, sleep disorders also were associated to adverse pregnancy outcomes including preeclampsia, elevated serum glucose, depression, prolonged labor, and cesarean birth.

After taking into account of other risk factors, Dr. Nodine PM, the led author said, " sleep disorders of pregnancy, elucidates their relationship with maternal and neonatal outcomes, and presents current evidence regarding diagnostic and management strategies".

Yoga is a well-tolerated and safe mode of exercise with promising in improving sleep disturbance and reduced day and night time symptoms of sleep disorders during pregnancy including excessive daytime sleepiness, difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, and waking up too early.

Taking altogether, there is no doubt that chronic poor sleep during pregnancy may induce a negative outcome in both mother and newborn.

Food Therapy: Chickpeas Isoflavones In Ameliorated Risk and Treatment of Breast cancer

Kyle J. Norton

Scientists may have found an ingredient from Chickpeas with substantial and potential impact in breast cancer risk, some studies suggested.

Isoflavones are phytoestrogens derived from plant with magnificent estrogenic properties.
Garbanzo beans also known as chickpea is an edible legume of genus Cicer and the family Fabaceae, high in protein and minerals. It is one of the earliest cultivated vegetables, native to Middle East.

The investigation of the effects of isoflavones extracted from chickpeas in ameliorated risk and treatment of breast cancer was found to associate to numbers of aspects and mechanisms.

In deed, injection of isoflavones isolated from seeds and sprouts of chickpeas displayed a significant effect in inhibition of human breast cancer cell lines SKBr3 and Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) at dose of ICS at 10-60 µg/mL.

According to the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assays, the phytochemicals significantly restrained the proliferation of both cell lines in a time-dependent and dose-dependent fashion.

Additionally observation based on results from Wright-Giemsa staining as well as annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate and propidium iodide (Annexin V/PI) staining, the inhibition of the phytoestrogen administration also can be seed through increased cytoclasis and physical body of cells death.

Cytoclasis is the presence of destruction of cells by fragmentation

Quantitative Annexin V/PI assays further showed that increased dose of isoflavones application resulted in increased number of apoptotic cells.

In fact, the effect of ICS in promoted apoptosis of both cancer cell lines may also be a result of activation of the expression of gene Bcl-2-associated X protein in induced cell death and decreased gene Bcl-2-in expression of anti apoptotic activity, observed by the semiquantitative reverse transcription PCR.

Bcl-2 family protein is a modulator responsible for regulation of cell apoptosis.

Further Western blot analysis also found that ICS injection also expressed a significantly restricted proliferation of cancer cell lines SKBr3 and MCF-7 through the increased expression of caspase 7, caspase 9 in regulated cell apoptosis and tumor suppressors P53, and mediator of cell cycle arrest P21 in a dose-dependent manner.

Interestingly, in flow cytometry assays using the fluorescent probe 3,3'-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide showed a dose-dependent in decreased mitochondrial membrane potential following ICS treatment.

Treatment using ICS also increased reactive oxygen species production that can be deadly to cancer cell through elevating toxicity without harming nearby healthy cells.

Deceased mitochondrial membrane potential may deplete cell energy which plays an important role for cancer cells survival and proliferation.

Truly, the effect of isoflavones in target breast cancer would vary from being antiestrogenic to weakly estrogenic depending to the high or low endogenous estrogen levels in patients.

Further more, in compared to the soybean-derived protease inhibitor Bowman-Birk inhibitor (BBI), is currently showing great promise as a novel cancer chemopreventive agent and 7 protease inhibitor concentrates (PIC) isolated from various leguminous sources (including soybean)to evaluate the effects of PIC on the proliferation of breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231, application of chickpea PIC demonstrated a significantly inhibited viability of the cancer cell line at concentration doses of 25-400 μg/ml.

Protease inhibitors are class of anti viral medicine with function binding to viral proteases to prevent replication.

Finally, although epidemiological studies suggest that isoflavones can decrease breast cancer risk and increase survival of breast cancer patients but the University of Houston has raised several questions of the results by stating, "the effects of isoflavones on mammary gland stem cells during different periods of life need to be defined to identify windows of time in which isoflavones can have positive or negative effects on cancer prevention. Investigations of the effect of isoflavones on breast cancer stem cells would increase our knowledge of whether isoflavones are beneficial or not to cancer patients. Lastly, the possibility that isoflavones have different effects on breast cancer risks between different ethnic groups with different genetic backgrounds needs to be taken into account".

Taken together, chickpeas phytochemical may have a potential effect in reduced risk and treatment of breast cancer, but a complex and large sample size with different ethnic groups with different genetic backgrounds study are necessary to reaffirm this viability.

Food Therapy: Beet Juice May be Potent Function Foods For Reduced Risk and Treatment of Pharynx Cancer

Kyle J. Norton

Beet may be a potential functional food for reduced risk and treatment of pharynx cancer, a recent study suggested

Pharynx cancer in a medical condition of abnormal cell growth in the pharynx region, including neopharynx, hypopharynx, pharyngeal areas. In the late stage, the cancerous cells may travel a distance away to infect other healthy tissues.

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

According to the joint study lead by the Vels University, phyto-synthetic method of producing silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) may be used as mediator of beet root in enhanced treatment of patients with pharynx cancer.

In pharynx cancer cell line, the silver nanoparticles enhanced by beet root effect through induction of cytotoxicity to cause cells death, without harming the nearby healthy cells.

Silver nanoparticles used to enhanced the function of biological treatment alone or combined with other pharmaceutical substances.

Measured by MTT assay, the inhibition efficacy may depend to the higher concentration proportionally of the photosynthetic substance.

AO/EtBr staining observations also found that Ag-NPs exhibited mechanism of cell death probably through the depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential caused by depletion of energy in induced cells proliferation, subsequently, in cell apoptosis.

In fact, according to the World Cancer Research Foundation reports, strong evidence suggested that vegetables with high nitrate-containing such as beet may have potential therapeutic effect in reduced risk and treatment of various cancers, including cancer of pharynx.

Unfortunately, beet juice with high amount of nitrate may associate to gastric cancer risk according to the review of literature of a total of 22 articles consisting of 49 studies—19 studies for nitrates, 19 studies for nitrites, and 11 studies for N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA).

Further analysis, discovered that high nitrates intake was associated with a weak but statistically significant reduced risk of gastric cancer, and increased consumption of nitrites and N-nitrosodimethylamine, NDMA may elevate the risk factors for gastric cancer.

But after taking account to other con founders, the risk of gastric cancer is not attributed by intake of nitrate but nitrate beverage with N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) contamination.

Taken together, beet and beet juice with high concentration of nitrate may be uses as functional food to ameliorated risk and treatment of pharynx cancer, but people with stomach ailment should avoid drinking any nitrate beverage with N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) contamination.

Herbal Therapy: Green Tea Polyphenols in Attenuated Risk and Treatment of Bladder Cancer

Green tea may have a therapeutic and sustainable effect in reduced risk and treatment of bladder cancer, some scientists suggested.

Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and Western world. 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.

Bladder cancer is medical condition characterized by irregular cell growth in the issues of bladder. At the later stage, the cancerous cell may travel a distance away to invade other healthy tissues and organs.

According to statistic provided by cancer.net, 90% of people with bladder cancer are older than 55, and the average age of people diagnosed with bladder cancer is 73

In the review of medical literature published online, green tea major catechin EGCG in reduced risk and treatment may be attributed to numbers of mechanisms.

In T24 human bladder cancer cell line, application of the chemopreventive/antiproliferative potential of (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG, the major phytochemical in green tea) induced anti malignant cell proliferation by modulating the expression of phosphatidylinositol 3' kinase/Akt in activated Bcl-2 family proteins with function in regulation of cell death, thus enhancing apoptosis of T24 bladder cancer cell line in dose- and time-dependent manner.

The phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase/AKT pathway is a crucial regulator of cellular processes including cell proliferation and apoptosis.

Bcl-2 family proteins is a modulator responsible for regulation of cell apoptosis.

In C3H/HeN mice subcutaneously implanted with MBT-2 murine bladder tumor cells, administration of EGCGs physically attached onto the surface of nanogold particles pNG(EGCG-adsorbed pNG) exerted a significant anti cancer proliferation through induction of apoptosis.

This action of anti cancer effect was attributed to mechanism of EGCG-pNG in activation of caspases which plays an important role in induced cell apoptosis and inflammation through Bcl-family proteins with function in control apoptosis by activating caspase proteases in the governing the space between outer and inner mitochondrial membrane.

Under stress, the mitochondrial pathway or the intrinsic pathway is activated depending to the release of proteins from the intermembrane space of mitochondria.

Caspase cascade, a family protease enzymes with function in programmed cell death and inflammation.

Additionally, injecting EGCG-pNG directly into the tumor site inhibited tumor expansion through ameliorated the function of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in stimulated formation of new blood vessel in provided nutrients and oxygen for survival of cancer site in compared to
oral administration of EGCG in stimulated immune function in suppression of cancer progression.

Vascular endothelial growth factor, is a signal protein produced by cells in stimulated formation of blood vessel for cell division and site proliferation.

Based on information collected,, the prepared EGCG-pNG was more effective than free EGCG in inhibiting bladder tumor in model mice.

More interestingly, bladder tumor induced by N-butyl-(-4-hydroxybutyl) nitrosaminre (BBN) 0.05% solution on 8 week-old female C3H/He mice for 14 or 24 weeks on treatment with or without green tea polyphenols (GTP) expressed a significant lower rate of tumor invasive frequency of 23.8%; in group treated with both GTP and BBN in compared to 65.2% in group treated with BBN alone.

The tumorvolume and microvascular density (MVD) as an independent predictor within a tumor.and the connective, functionally supportive framework of a biological cell, tissue, or organ region in the BBN+GTP group were also significantly lower than in BBN treated mice.

Unbelievably, green tea polyphenols inhibited tumor growth and invasion in mice with established bladder cancer through regulation of angiogenetic effect in suppressed the forming of new blood vessel for the tumor cells proliferation, metastatic spread, as well as providing oxygen and nutrients and removal of waste products of cancer cells without exhibiting anti-carcinogenic effect.

Taken together, green tea extract polyphenols may be considered as adjunct therapy for reduced risk and used combination with standard medicine for treatment of bladder cancer.

Dietary Nitrate-Rich Beetroot Juice Improved Vascular Function In Reduced Risk of Heart Disease

Kyle J. Norton

Intake of nitrate-rich beetroot juice may have a substantial and profound effect in improved vascular function, thus reducing risk of heart disease.

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

Vascular function are bundle vascular system with function in blood circulation.

Abnormal vascular function is considered as one of the risk factor in development of cardiovascular disease.
In a total of 69 subjects recruited in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel study to examine the change in vascular function induced by intake of Nitrate-Rich Beetroot Juice, determined with the use of ultrasound flow-mediated dilatation (FMD).

The flow-mediated dilation (FMD).test, an ultrasound technique performed only by a skilled sonographer is a noninvasive assessment of vascular endothelial function through experts understanding of the physiology, analysis, and interpretation of this measurement

Intake of nitrate-rich beetroot juice displayed a significant increase in the FMD response of 1.1% in compared to placebo group of decrease of 0.3%

Nitrate-rich beetroot juice group also demonstrated a small improvement of stiffness measured by Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity and showed a trend of continuous improvement in compared to placebo.

Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity is a test to measure stiffness of the largest artery in the body, Increased stiffness will result in reduced mobility in related regions.

Result of aortic pulse wave velocity measurement is said to have an ability to identify people in their 20’s who are at increased risk for development of heart disease, stroke and dementia.

Administration of nitrate-rich beetroot juice showed a strong reduction of 7.6% of platelet-monocyte aggregates in compared to increase of 10.1% in placebo. This finding indicated that nitrate-rich beetroot juice intake had a substantial effect in decreased risk of acute myocardial infarction.

Platelet–monocyte aggregates is a novel index with platelet activation and a maker of early onset of acute myocardial infarction.

Furthermore, intake of nitrate-rich beetroot juice group expressed an exceptional improvement of vascular function in reduced P-selectin expression in activated platelet aggression

P-selectin is a cell adhesion molecule (CAM) with function in mediated the interaction of activated endothelial cells or platelets.

Additionally, application of the juice also improved the nonpathogenic, commensal bacteria present in the healthy human salivary glands measured by salivary microbiome in compared to placebo group.

Interestingly, intake of the nitrate-rich beetroot juice also responded to change of 78 bacterial taxa out of thousands harbored in human gut.

The proportions of Rothia mucilaginosa trending to increase in nitrate-rich beetroot juice group, in compared to Neisseria flavescens (P < 0.01) increased in the placebo group.

Rothia mucilaginosa, is considered part of the normal microflora of the human mouth and the upper respiratory tract.

Neisseria flavescens is an uncommon pathogen of human infection, pneumonia and empyema

There were no adverse effects of dietary nitrate were detected through out the experiment.

The findings evidences suggested that intake of nitrate-rich beetroot juice daily may have a sustainable effect in improve vascular function, thus reducing risk of heart disease.
