Alternative Therapy:Yoga In Reduced Psychological symptoms in HIV-1 Infected Patients

Kyle J. Norton 

Yoga may be used as an integrated form of exercise in reduced psychological symptoms of anxiety and depression.in patients with Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected individuals, randomized controlled pilot 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.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus with function in induced acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, if not treated.

According to the Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana (SVYASA) University study with an aim to contribute towards the understanding the therapeutic benefits of specific yoga modulation in HIV-1 infected subjects, yoga participated group displayed an indirect effect of HIV-1 induced hematopoietic inhibition of CD34+ progenitor stem cells, a hematopoietic progenitor cells found in bone marrow and cord blood with loss of human hematopoietic precursor cell function, via the CD4+ T lymphocytes in signalling immune response to destroy the infectious particle.

In other words, yoga practice normalized the inhibition of replication and enhancement of levels of hematopoiesis in HIV-1 infected subjects, through infected of CD34+ progenitor stem cells by activated immune action.

The hematopoietic stem cell has long been hypothesized to be a target of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV) infection.

Additionally, Yoga participant also showed to improve the self renewal capacity of numbers of cycles of cell division while maintaining the undifferentiated state to differentiate into CD34+ progenitor cells, through STAT5 gene in activatedhematopoietic cytokines in modulates cytokine responses, including nterleukin-2 and 15,  transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in development of Tregs in immune regulation.

CD34+, undifferentiated biological cells that can differentiate into specialized cells and can divide (through mitosis) to produce more stem cells.

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a secreted protein in regualted cellular process including the control of cell growth, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and apoptosis.

Tumor necrosis factor alpha, TNFα, cachexin, or cachectin) is a cell signaling cytokine involved in systemic inflammation in the acute phase infection.

Interleukin-2 and 15 are cell signaling proteins in the immune system in regulated the activities of white blood cells of the immunity.

More interesting, in psychological aspects, yoga induced hematopoietic inhibition in HIV-1 infection was contributed by the role of reduced stress involved sycho-neuro-immunological axis (PNI), the interaction between psychological processes and the nervous and immune systems of the human body in induction of psychological symptoms, such as anxiety and depression and quality of life

In deed, physical postures (asanas), breathing practices (pranayama), relaxation techniques, and meditation have shown to bring back consciousness in the present moment and increased the ability to maintain or positive feelings to minimize or regulate stress feelings or letting them go, thus decreasing stress effect in suppressed body's immune system and neuro-humoral actions in transmitting information from cells to cells, thereby affecting normal psychological state.

Additionally, researchers at the study also said, "Yoga therapy is introduced and its effectiveness in terms of evidence in relevant area is reviewed. Further, the basic principles of Integrated Approach of Yoga Therapy [IAYT] are described and depending on the potential mechanisms through which yoga therapy may act, both modern scientific research and ancient "scriptural" evidence are provided at all the five levels of existence (body, life force, emotional, intellectual and bliss)" and "This will enable to design comprehensive yoga modules that may intervene in this indirect inhibition of hematopoiesis in HIV-1 infected individuals and potentially restore normal levels of hematopoiesis".

Further more, in a study of 44 HIV-1 infected individuals from two HIV rehabilitation centers of Manipur State of India randomized into two groups: Yoga (n = 22; 12 males) group received IY intervention, which included physical postures (asanas), breathing practices (pranayama), relaxation techniques, and meditation,  given 60 min/day, 6 days a week for 1 month and Control group (n = 22; 14 males), followed daily routine during this period, researchers found that yoga group showed a significant reduction in depression scores along with non significant increment in CD4 counts in surface of the immune cells but non-significant reduction in anxiety scores in compared to control group.

An at the end of the experiment, researchers concluded that short term yoga participated may have a positive effect in reduced depression and improved immunity in HIV-1 infected adults.

Taking altogether, Yoga intervention as an adjunct therapy may have a profound effect in reduced  psychological symptoms and treatment of inhibited hematopoiesis in HIV-1 infected individuals by regulating the immune function in restore normal function of hematologists in production of blood cells and platelets.

Herbal Therapy: Green Tea and Green Tea Bioactive Catechins and Epigallocatechin Gallate in Reduced Risk and Progression and Treatment of Kidney Cancer

Kyle J. Norton

Green tea may have a substantial and sustainable effect in reduced risk and treatment of renal 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.

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

According to statistic, kidney cancer is very uncommon in people younger than age 45 and among the 10 most common cancers in both gender.

Investigation of green tea effect in risk of renal cancer was found to associate to different implications involved numbers of mechanisms, particularly, in green tea bioactive components.

According to the evaluated 250 newly diagnosed, histo-logically confirmed Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) cases and 299 sex-, age-matched healthy controls provided complete information by face-to-face interview in Shanghai between 2007 and 2009, application of green tea at dose of ≥500 ml/d demonstrated a significantly inverse association to risk of CCRCC.

In deed, green tea consumption of lower than the said volume such as 8 oz (237 ml) or more cups/day was also associated to decrease renal cell cancer risk, in compared to non drinkers, according to the report of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

Further analysis also found that interactions with the environmental exposures association to polymorphisms of the xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes in induced CCRCC risk, also inhibited by green tea extract through increasing serum and liver antioxidant capacity and strengthening stability of microsomal and lysosomal membranes of healthy cells in compared to control.

In free radical aspect, the examine Wistar rats induced renal cancer pre-treated with N-ethyl-N-hydroxyethylnitrosamine (EHEN) by oral injection of drinking water for 2 weeks, also found that administration of green tea extract catechin ( 0.1% polyphenon-60) over 30 weeks of period of treatment exhibits a significant effect in decreased the incidence of renal cell tumors greater than 3 mm in diameter but not tumors that are less than 3 mm in diameter, through over expression of antioxidant in suppression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by N-ethyl-N-hydroxyethylnitrosamine (EHEN) pre-treatment.

Importantly, in alternated gene expression in increased prevalence of cancer in human subjects,
application of green tea polyphenol, catechins have been reported to reverse change of DNA methylation in contributed to the tumor repressive gene of RGS2 (regulator of G-protein signaling 2) in modulated expression of cancers and increased the regulation of conversion of DNA to RNA (transcription) of these genes in ameliorated risk of renal and other cancer(s).

Further more, application of the combination of green tea extract bioactive catechins and epigallocatechin gallate also showed to modulate DNA methylation by attenuating the effect of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) to ensure the fidelity of replication of inherited epigenetic patterns.

Aberrant DNA methylation patterns are associated with increased prevalence of  renal and other tumor(s).

Taken together, Green Tea and its polyphenols bioactive compound catechins and epigallocatechin gallate may have a potential and therapeutic effect in reduced risk and treatment of renal cancer through antioxidants and anti gene alternative activities.

Herbal Therapy: Green Tea Bioactive Epigallo-catechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in Reduced Risk, Progression and Treatment of and Neuro-Degenerative Diseases

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

Green tea is found to consist a substantial and respectful effect in reduced risk, progression and treatment of neuro-degenerative diseases, some scientists opinionated.

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.

Neuro degenerative diseases are a class of conditions characterized by deteriorating neurons and accumulated plaque in blocking the neuro transmitters of the brain and spinal cords in performance of normal functions.

According to the statistic, approximately, 5 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's disease, 1 million from Parkinson's and 400,000 from multiple sclerosis (MS) today, inducing overwhelming social, economic and health care burden on society.

The differentiation of green tea bioactive constituents in risk of neuro-degenerative diseases was found to associate to numbers of mechanism through many different aspects.

The investigation of green tea bioactive epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) activities in lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) mediated systemic inflammation in induction of neurodegenerative diseases suggested that application of green tea chemical constituent demonstrated a significant effect in ameliorated LPS induced expression of proinflammatory cytokines of tumor necrosis factor alphaTNF-α, a cell signalling protein involved in systemic inflammation in the acute phase of infection, and interleukin 1 beta (IL1β), an cytokine with function in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses to infections or sterile insults and interleukin 6 (IL-6) involved in inflammation and infection responses, particularly, in the inhibition of the expressions of inflammatory cytokines in the mononuclear blood cells (PBMCs), consisting lymphocytes (T cells, B cells, NK cells) with function to clear away of debris in the infection site.

The activation of inflammatory cytokines expression caused by lipopolysaccharide- (LPS) injection can trigger neurotoxicity, leading to neurons brains progressive degeneration, resulting in elevated risk of neuro degenerative diseases.

Application of  green tea bioactive epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) was found not only inhibited LPS in precipitation of toxicity in resolved inflammation and mediated neuroprotection but also exerted anti toxicity through its antioxidant activity in decreased expression of reactive oxygen species in triggered brain cell apoptosis.

Interleukin 6 (IL-6) acts as both pro-inflammatory cytokines and an anti-inflammatory mytokines with function involved inflammation responses at sites of acute and chronic infection.

Further analysis of green tea Epigallo-catechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in the aspect of ROS in risk of neuro-degeneration in the dentate gyrus, part of the hippocampus and/or hippocampal formation of C57Bl/6 mice, suggested that the application promoted neural precursor cell, (a partially differentiated cell) proliferation, without changes at the level of immature and mature new neurons.

Interestingly, in adult hippocampal neurogenesis in male Balb/C mice, injection of green tea bioactive compounds in different doses also expressed a strong implication of increased cells survival without affecting cell proliferation but decreasing apoptotic cells.

The increased production of neuro precursor cell in stimulated neuro generation and increased cell survival from green tea was attributed to the green tea antioxidants acted as free radical scavengers to ameliorate chain reaction stimulated by reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Further more, green tea treatment was found to promote production of more elaborated dendritic (structures on the neuron that receive electrical messages) trees in young DCX-positive neurons with function in acquisition of spatial learning, as well as reversal learning, but not the retrieval of stored long-term memories.

Implication of green tea bio compounds EGCG also significantly increased net growth and development of nervous tissue in the adult hippocampus and hippocampal levels of phospho-Akt.in regulated multiple cellular processes, including glucose metabolism, apoptosis, cell proliferation, transcription and cell migration by re-establishing the function of PI3K in intracellular signaling pathway.

Dr. Neha Atulkumar Singh, the lead author in the article of "Potential neuroprotective properties of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG)",said, "there is a need to identify a class of drug capable of reversing neural damage and preventing further neural death" and "assesses the reliability of the neuroprotective benefits of epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) by shedding light on their biological, pharmacological, antioxidant and metal chelation properties, with emphasis on their ability to invoke a range of cellular mechanisms in the brain".

Taken together, green bioactive compound, EGCG may represent a potent and useful neuroprotective agent for inflammation-mediated neurological disorders and be considered as useful principle in modulated brain plasticity.

Food Therapy: Lentils (Pulse) in Ameliorated Risk, Progression and Treatment of Diabetes

Kyle J. Norton

Consumed lentils daily and regularly may have potential and therapeutic effect in reduced risk, progression and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, some scientists suggested.

Lentil, a type of pulse and tiny legumes that can be cooked quickly and rich in protein and fiber, is a bushy annual plant of genus Lens to the Fabaceaefamily, native to Middle East.

Diabetes is a chronic condition of metabolic disorders with abnormal high blood glucose.

Investigation of lentils intake in risk of type 2 diabetes was found to associate to numbers of implication through various aspects in hormone production.

In the study of 131 male Nile rats aged 3 weeks to 15 months in four experiments with 15 dietary exposures to various Glycemic Index (GI, 36-88), GLoad (102-305/2000 kcal), and cumulative GLoad (Cum GLoad=days×GLoad, 181-537g total glucose), researchers found that lentil diets with low GLoads (102, 202) treated group displayed not only a significantly reduced fasting and glucose levels observed by oral glucose tolerance test but also decreased expression of adipose tissue in stimulated production of blood glucose through necropsy findings.

Further analysis also indicated that the benefit from low GLoad lentils intake during the length of 7-17 weeks experiment demonstrated a strong inhibition of rats inherently susceptible or resistant to T2DM, measured by random glucose above or below 75 mg/dl, with benefits exceeded dietary factors such as micro-nutrients, macro-nutrient composition, total fiber and dietary caloric density containing in the tiny legume. 

Based on information collected in the weeks of study, Dr. Bolsinger J, the lead author postulated, " Measuring total food intake and the novel concept of cumulative GLoad during growth generated strong correlations between cummunlative GLoad and parameters of .....and T2DM, especially during sexual maturation".

Additionally, in the examine the regular consumption of the germinated lentils also opinionated that intake of lentils expresses a significant effect in improved blood glucose metabolism through hormone production in regulated circulation of glucose through glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis controlled by the α-cells of the pancreas in hours after fasting.

Indeed, during the first 8–12 hours of fasting, glycogenolysis controlled by hormone glucagon produced by pancreas in regulated the process to make available of glucose to convert food intake to energy required for the normal functioning of the organs in the body and deposited the access in bodily tissues as a store of carbohydrates and stimulated liver production of gluconeogenesis to generate glucose from non-carbohydrate carbon substrates such as lactate, glycerol, and glucogenic amino acids in case of lower blood glucose in maintaining proper glucose in the blood.

Any disruption of these processes may result in abnormal blood glucose levels in the blood stream and induce early onset of prediabetes, particularly, in the deficiencies or abnormalities in other glucoregulatory hormones.

Further differentiation, also discovered that lentils high flavonoid and fiber content exert a significant role in improved gut motility and  gut microbiota in metabolic glucose through production of glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) and gastroinhibitory peptide (GIP) from the L-cells of the intestine.

In fact, the regulation of glucose metabolism was also found to involve many different hormone mechnisms, including glucoregulatory hormones such as insulin, glucagon, amylin, GLP-1, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP), epinephrine, cortisol, and growth hormone, with only insulin, amylin and glucagon produced by pancreas.

Moreover, lentils intake also expressed a therapeutic effect in regulated starch digestibility through theirs' glycemic load in the glycemic index, to maintain average glucose levels in healthy adults and reduce the glucose levels in diabetes in deceased risk of diabetes complications.

The efficacy of pulses, a dry, edible variety of beans, peas, and lentils as a member of both the protein and vegetable food groups with high content of plant-based protein and dietary fiber in improve numerical health benefits may be a result to influence the change of last two revisions of the Dietary Guidelines, from the MyPyramid "meat and beans group" to the MyPlate "protein foods group" in encouraged US population to consumed more of food sources, like pulses.

Taken together, pulse such as lentils may be considered as functional food to reduce risk of abnormal glucose levels in the blood stream of healthy adults and  progression and treatment of diabetes, particularly, in diminished diabetes complications.

Alternative Therapy: Yoga as an Integrated Form of Exercise in Reduced Risk and Treatment of Postpartum Depression

Kyle J. Norton 

Postpartum yoga practicing may have a profound and positive effect in reduced risk and treatment of
postpartum depression, epidemiological studies suggested.
Postpartum depression is medical condition suffered by a mother following childbirth, as a result of hormonal changes and psychological adjustment to motherhood,......affecting Up to 20% of women.

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 of 57 postpartum women with scores ≥12 on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale randomly assigned to a yoga class consisted of 16 classes over 8 weeks.(N = 28) or wait-list control (N = 29) group, researchers found that yoga group demonstrated a significantly greater rate of improvement in depression, anxiety, and HRQOL, in compared to the control and 78% of women in the yoga group experienced clinically significant change, according to the Reliable Change Index analyses.

Indeed, yoga participation in deep relaxation and meditation creates a state of self consciousness  
to cope with psychological stress caused by postpartum depression by accepting the presence with the positive feelings and dealing the situation with love and care.

Physically, by driving the mental expression in the right direction to deal with stress in the right way, yoga intervention eventually induced the returning of proper hormone secretion.

Psychologically, yoga breathing and mediation promoted central nervous system calmness and relaxation may have strong implications in reduced psychic symptoms such as anxiety, depression, stress...improving sleep pattern, particularly in relieving sleep deprivation, one of major risk factor of postpartum depression.

More importantly, Dr. MacDonald C, in study of "mother and baby yoga is good for you" suggested that postpartum yoga class can also benefits both mother and baby.

Truly, with the mother and baby attended the class together, yoga exercise not only induced a strong bond and improved relationship between mother and baby but also brought the mother back to the presence in loving and caring of the baby in the natural motherhood consciousness, through deep breathing and meditation.

There is no doubt that yoga stretching and posturing also had a profound and therapeutic effect in restoring the pelvic floor and strengthened the abdomen and reduced physical pain in the mother as a result of muscles over stretch in months of pregnancy and improved the baby digestive system and physical health, acceptance of new environment and interaction with mother and "class mate".

Interestingly the study to evaluate the effect of yoga and Pilate exercises in treating postpartum depression, 28 women at 2-6 months postpartum assigned to 'Yoga and Pilates Exercise Programme for Postpartum Woman' in group sessions once a week for three months (12 times total) for 60 minutes each time by a professional coach, after taking into account of other con founders indicated that both Yoga and Pilate interventions showed a significant decrease of postpartum depression, after completing the program and displayed significant reductions of body weight, body fat percentage, fat mass and basic metabolic rate.

Dr. Ko YL the led authors said, "physical activities benefited the physical and mental health of postpartum women and enhanced their quality of life".

Taking altogether, Yoga as an integrated form of study may be used as an adjunct exercise in reduced risk and treatment of Postpartum depression.

Food Therapy: Lentils Intake in Attenuated Risk and Progression of Atherosclerosis

Kyle J. Norton

Lentil intake may have a potential effect in reduced risk, progression and treatment of atherosclerosis, some scientists proposed.

Lentil, a type of pulse and tiny legumes that can be cooked quickly and rich in protein and fiber, is a bushy annual plant of genus Lens to the Fabaceaefamily, native to Middle East.

Atherosclerosis is a medical condition of plaque accumulated in the inner part of the arteries, leading to reduce levels of oxygen-rich and nurients blood to your heart and other parts of your body.

According to statistic, 13.8% of adults of 20 years and above were diagnosed with atherosclerosis in 2010 with motility rate of 32%, approximately.

In the study to examine a hydroalcoholic extract isolated from lentils activity in induction of hypocholesterolemic action and the potential prebiotic effect through evaluating the concentration of bile acids in the feces in an animal model, after 71 days of diet-induced hypercholesterolemia in rats, researchers found that application of lentil extract (LE) displays a significantly reduced cholesterol level by 16.8% and increased secretion of the level of bile acids in the feces of rats by induced production of prebiotic to selective stimulation of growth of  limited numbers of micro-bacteria  in the gut microbiota.

The improvement of lentil extract (LE) in lowering levels of cholesterol probably was attributed to prebiotic action induced by the extract in mediated α-glucans metabolism in probiotic bacteria in reduced serum cholesterol levels and β-glucans in enhanced good gut bacteria and reduced bad cholesterol accumulation.

There is a report suggested that intake oat fiber β-glucan levels of least 3 g per day can significant decrease the levels of saturated fats in the blood which has been found to contribute to substantial risk of heart disease.

Further observation also indicated that lentil extract (LE) increases function of digestive tract in decreased cholesterol absorption which can be viewed by examining greater bile acid presence in the animal feces.

After taking into account of other con founders, Dr. Micioni Di Bonaventura MV, the lead scientist postulated, "This new hydroalcoholic extract obtained from lentils was shown to possess hypocholesterolemic and prebiotic properties, and could have interesting applications in the field of nutraceuticals".

Additionally, in the testing of potential of high-Se lentils effect cultivated from the Canadian prairies as a therapeutic food to alter the outcome of arsenic (As)-enhanced atherosclerosis in male ApoE(-/-) mice exposed to a moderate level of As (200ppb) in their drinking water, and control mice on tap water received one of three lentil diets: Se-deficient (0.009mg/kg), Se-adequate (0.16mg/kg) or Se-high (0.3mg/kg), after 13 weeks, researchers indicated that mice group treated with moderate level of As demonstrated a elevated levels of plaque formatiom, accumulated in the aortic arch and sinus, in compared to a completely eliminated levels of As in the aortic arch of mice treated with Se-high lentil diet, but increased in As-exposed mice and on both the Se-deficient and Se-adequate diets.

Notably, observation of the ratio of high-density lipoprotein/low-density lipoprotein also indicated that selenium plays an important role in proatherogenic composition of serum lipids as the cholesterol levels were seen to increase in As-exposed mice and on both the Se-deficient and Se-adequate diets.

Moreover, mice groups exposured to As in both Se-deficient and Se-adequate diets also expressed significant levels of oxidative stress caused by over expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and decreased levels of antioxidant in compared to Se fortified diet mice group, measured by intralesional cellular composition and hepatic oxidative stress assays.

Indeed, adding High-Se lentils diet into human populations living in countries with As contamination of drinking water may be one of good application in protection against As-triggered atherosclerosis.

Taking altogether, intake of lentils with or without selenium fortification may be considered as a whole food therapeutic treatment in attenuated risk and progression of atherosclerosis, particularly, in high risk adults.

Food therapy: Lentils Intake in Weight Loss and Complications and Treatment of Obesity

By Kyle J. Norton

In take of lentils' pulses daily and regularly may have a substantial and profound effect in reduced risk and treatment of obesity, some scientists postulated.

Lentil, a type of pulse and tiny legumes that can be cooked quickly and rich in protein and fiber, is a bushy annual plant of genus Lens of the Fabaceae family, native to Middle East.

Obesity is a medical condition of excess body fat accumulated overtime. According to the Body Mass Index(BMI), BMI of over 30 is an indication of obesity. According to the statistic, 68% of American population are either overweight or obese.

The investigation of lentils' pulses in risk of obesity has been found to associate to several mechanisms involving numbers of aspects.

In the review of  medical literature published online of databases MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library through 11 May 2015 for randomized controlled trials of ≥3 wk of duration, met the criteria and guideline, researchers indicated that out of 21 trial including 940 participants selected, intake of pulse has a significant effect in reduced mean of weight loss of .34 kg during 6 weeks of application in compared to control diet without adding dietary pulse.

Further analysis, also suggested that the weight reduction was also correlated to the effect of dietary pulse implication in decreased energy intake as well as exhibited progression in weigh maintenance in tested subjects.

Particularly,  the percentage fat concentration of pulse injection attendees also wss found to reduce substantially in compared to control with no restriction to calories intake.

Additional comparison of the effect of dietary pulses (beans, peas, chickpeas, lentils) on acute satiety and second meal intake with isocaloric diets, in a systematic review and meta-analysis from data extracted from MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Registry (through May 6, 2013) conducted by the University of Toronto, showed that dietary pulses produce a 31% greater satiety incremental area under the curve (IAUC), according to ratio of means (RoMs) without affecting second meal intake in compared to a moderate-carbohydrate, moderate-fat diet.

The greater satiety in pulse intake may form a base in improved dietary habit in the United States to include more consumption of dry beans, peas and lentils, rich sources of nutrients and phytochemicals.

The US Department of Agriculture's (New) recently recommended that MyPyramid guidelines should have a doubling dietary intake for vegetables, particularly, in subgroups of vegetables, including dry beans, peas and lentils.

Further differentiation of the pulse intake in obese subjected also indicated that adding a portion of lentils into daily diet may have a potential effect in reduced  the incidence of obesity and diabetes through phenolic-rich lentils inversely associate to increased blood glucose and lipid accumulation.

And intake of pulse frequently also may lend a sustainable effect in reduced food intake and waist conference and induced weight loss through the expression of antinutrients and energy regulation activities.

More importantly, with low GI range from ∼29 to 48 (using glucose as the standard), pulse carbohydrates are slowly digested due to the presence of several constituents, including carbohydrate composition, protein content and protein-starch matrix, and antinutrient factors such as enzyme inhibitors in compared to other healthy food with GI of 32–36 for dairy, 39–64 for fruit, 42–72 for grains, 49–80 for breakfast cereals, and 49–97 for root vegetables.

According some studies, examining the potential associations between pulse consumption and weight status consistently show that individuals with lower BMI consume a greater amount of pulses as part of their usual diet and pulse diet expressed an inverse association of the dietary pattern incorporating pulses with BMI or BMI increase over time.

Taking altogether, there is no doubt that intake of lentils daily and regularly have a potential and therapeutic effect in reduced risk and treatment of obesity, particularly in decreased risk of obese incidences of complication.
