Banana is the common name of a genus of tropical herbaceous plants. It can grow from 3 to 9 m and belongs to the family of the lily and the orchid.
Constipation is a condition of frequent and hard to pass in bowel movements. According to the right diagnosis, approximately 30 percent of the US population is experience gastrointestinal complaints every year. chronic constipation (CC) study in the adult Moscow population of 1189 randomly selected subjects, showed the statistical significance of 34.3% of subjects affected by the disease, and 16.5% had CC according to Rome III criteria. Females have a significantly higher rate of 2 symptoms of constipation(1). Fructooligosaccharides, a chemical compound found abundantly in bananas, in a study by the University of Murcia, showed to increase fecal bolus and the frequency of depositions, with a dose of 4-15 g/day given to healthy subjects(2). Unfortunately, its seeds may induce constipation,(3) especially when they are consumed on an empty stomach, according to 1SFE Medical Project, Luang Namtha(4).

#GammaLinolenicAcid Inhibits Diabetic Complications of #Neuropathy, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
Diabetes is a chronic condition caused by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate the glucose.
In other words, diabetes occurs when cells in the pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol. In some cases, diabetes is also caused by allergic reactions of cells in the immune system.
Most common types of diabetes are
* Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, the most common form diabetes found in children is a condition in which the pancreas does not produce any insulin. The most common form of type 1 diabetes is caused by genetic mutation and some viruses.
* Type 2 diabetes is a medical condition characterized by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate the glucose due to either cell in pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol.
Diabetic neuropathy is a complication of patients with diabetes associated with nerve damages, ranging from pain and numbness in your legs and feet to problems with your digestive system.
Most cases of diabetic neuropathy are involved in diabetics who have a history of hyperglycemia caused by long-term high levels of glucose in the bloodstream, urinary tract, blood vessels, and heart.
Diabetic neuropathy can be classified into 4 main types,.
* Peripheral neuropathy is the most common type of diabetic neuropathy, affecting the nerves that control the feet and legs first, followed by the hands and arms.
* The autonomic neuropathy that affects the nerves that control the heart, bladder, stomach, intestines, sex organs, and eyes.
* Radiculoplexus neuropathy found mostly in older patients affects nerves that control the thighs, hips, buttocks, or legs.
* Mononeuropathy or focal neuropathy also found commonly in older patients affects the nerves that control the face, middle of the body (torso), or leg.
The exact causes of diabetic neuropathy are totally depending on the type of neuropathy. However, damage to nerves and blood vessels in the affected area has been found to induce by over time, uncontrolled high blood sugar.
Gamma-linolenic acid is a phytochemical in the group of Omega-3, 6,9 fatty acids, belongings to the class of Lipids, found abundantly in evening primrose, borage, blackcurrant, etc.
In finding a potential plant that processes anti-diabetic activity, researchers examined the effect of gamma-linolenic acid on diabetic complications of neuropathy.
A multicenter, parallel-group, double-blind, double-dummy, randomized, noninferiority joint study includes the evaluation of the efficacy and safety of γ-linolenic acid (GLA) relative to α-lipoic acid (ALA) over a 12-week treatment period in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) was conducted.
According to the results of the analysis of 100 T2DM patients between 20 and 75 years of age who had painful DPN and received either GLA (320 mg/day) and placebo or ALA (600 mg/day) and placebo for 12 weeks,* There was a significant decrease in the mean visual analog scale (VAS) and the total symptom scores (TSS). scores compared to baseline in both groups, but there were no significant differences between the groups.
* The treatment difference for the VAS (95% confidence interval [CI]) between the two groups was -0.65 (-1.526 to 0.213) and the upper bound of the 95% CI did not exceed the predefined noninferiority margin (δ₁=0.51).
* For the TSS, the treatment difference was -0.05 (-1.211 to 1.101) but the upper bound of the 95% CI crossed the noninferiority margin (δ₂=0.054).
* There were no serious adverse events associated with the treatments.
Collectively, researchers said, "GLA treatment in patients with painful DPN was noninferior to ALA in terms of reducing pain intensity measured by the VAS over 12 weeks".
Taken altogether, gamma-linolenic acid may be considered a functional food for reducing the painful diabetic neuropathy, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Lycopene Found in Tomatoes Reduces the Risk of #COPD and Bronchial Asthma (#BA) through Its Antioxidant Activity
Kyle J. Norton
Lung protection is an action in which substances, including herbal remedies, are used to protect the lung against injury or damage.
The lungs are a pair of organs located on either side of the chest (thorax) with a function to bring fresh oxygen into the body and remove carbon dioxide and other waste gases from the body.
According to the statistics provided by the Lung Association over 3 million Canadians are affected by one of five serious respiratory diseases – asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, tuberculosis (TB), and cystic fibrosis.
In 2017, 28,600 Canadians were diagnosed with lung cancer, representing 14% of all new cancer cases. Lung cancer caused the death of 21,100 Canadians in the same year.
The exact causes of lung disease are not identified. However, epidemiological studies suggested
being overweight, smoking, family history, and smoking are some of the most prevalent factors associated with the onset of the disease.
Most common lung diseases in North America include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, and cystic fibrosis.
Asthma is a medical and chronic condition characterized by the long-term inflammation of the airways of the lungs.
The most common symptoms of asthma are episodes of wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, reversible airflow obstruction, and bronchospasm.
Asthma attack in most cases is triggered by exposure to various irritants and substances that trigger allergies (allergens). However, genetic preposition and family history are also found in patients with asthma.
Asthma not only interferes with daily activities and also can lead to a life-threatening asthma attack. Treatment of asthma is to reduce the frequent episode and severity of the attacks.
According to the statistics provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the US, 1 in 13 people have asthma. In other words, over 26 million Americans have asthma and half of that is children.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a type of lung disease associated with long-term breathing problems and poor airflow, leading to shortness of breath and cough with sputum production.
COPD is a progressive disease and the third leading cause of death in the United States. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is the third leading cause of death in the US.
Lycopene is a phytochemical found in tomatoes in the class of carotenoids, a natural pigment with no vitamin A activity found abundantly in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables, such as red carrots, watermelons, and papayas,
Tomatoes provide about 80% of the lycopene in the world's diet. In plants, lycopene protects the host against excessive photodamage and performs various functions in photosynthesis.
In finding a potential compound for the treatment of asthma researchers examined the effects of ascorbic acid (AA), carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin, β-cryptoxanthin, α-carotene, β-carotene, and lycopene), retinol and α-tocopherol levels in patients with allergic asthma compared to healthy elderly in Japanese.
Based on the tested analysis, compared to other phytochemicals, plasma AA level was significantly lower in allergic asthma subjects than that in healthy elderly people.
Levels of plasma lycopene and total carotenoid levels and levels of antioxidant enzymes such as GSH content produced by the host were significantly lower in COPD subjects compared to those of healthy elderly people.
However, levels of plasma lycopene and total carotenoid levels showed no effects in the redox markers such as GSSG, and GSH/GSSG ratio associated with the oxidative stress in the lung tissues.
In other words, there is no difference between the redox markers such as GSSG, and GSH/GSSG ratio in both groups.
Furthermore, lycopene and total carotenoid levels did not lower the marker of the levels of urinary 8-OHdG detected between ACOS and BA subjects compared to healthy elderly people.
Increased levels of lycopene and total carotenoid levels in the body do not have a significant impact in reducing the risk of ACOS and BA
Based on the findings, researchers said, "COPD of Japanese patients may develop partly because of oxidative stress derived from a shortage of antioxidant nutrients, especially of AA and lycopene as well as GSH while this may not be the case in both ACOS and BA.".
Taken together, lycopene found in tomatoes may not be considered a remedy for the prevention of overlap syndrome (ACOS) and/or bronchial asthma (BA), pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of lycopene in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

#Fermented Korean #SoySauce (KS), and Mixed #SoySauce (MS) Process Strong Antioxidant Activities, Researchers Say
Kyle J. Norton
Antioxidants are stable molecules that inhibit free radicals.
Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) is a measure that assesses the antioxidant status and evaluates the antioxidant response against the free radicals produced in a patient.
Free radicals are unstable atoms with an unpair of electrons on the out ring of molecules. Therefore, in order for them to become stable, they constantly seek to donate or intercept the electron from other stable atoms, leading to a chain reaction that can not be stopped until all unpaired electrons are paired or inhibited by antioxidants.
In spite of free radicals harmful effects, one must understand that cellular oxygen species (ROS), are necessary with a moderate amount to protect our body in the mediation of antimicrobial infection, detoxification of potentially toxic compounds, and elimination of cancerous and other life-threatening cells through cytotoxicity.
Free radicals such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, myeloperoxidase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase and antioxidants such as glutathione peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) also act on specific oxidative pathways involving both pro-oxidant and antioxidant enzymes to maintain the healthy ratio in the body.
Normally, in a healthy individual, antioxidant enzymes produced by the liver are more than enough to counter levels of free radicals in the body. However, people with weakened immune system intake of dietary antioxidant or antioxidant supplements may be necessary.
Oxidative stress is a medical condition caused by the unbalanced ratio of the levels of free radicals and antioxidant enzymes produced by the host.
In fact, free radicals exist everywhere including the airs we breathe, the thing we eat and the environment we contact, particularly, cell metabolism in the body.
Epidemiologically, overexpression of free radicals has been found to induce damage to the cell, lipid, proteins, and alternation of cell DNA, leading to chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and particularly, cancer.
Fermented soy products are diverse varieties of soy food that are made from fermented soybeans, including miso, natto, tempeh, and soy sauce.
On finding a potential plant that processes anti-oxidative stress activity, researchers examined the relationship between in vitro antioxidant capacity of soy sauces and its impact on lipid oxidation in raw and cooked beef patties during 10 days of refrigerated storage.
According to the results of the analysis of 3 commercial soy sauces including industrially fermented soy sauce (IS), traditionally fermented Korean soy sauce (KS), and mixed soy sauce (MS),
* In vitro antioxidant capacity, KS showed the highest total phenol content, whereas IS and MS had a higher Fe2+ chelating activity than KS (P < .05).
* Heat treatment decreased total phenol content but increased Fe2+ chelating activity of soy sauces (P < .001).
* In both raw and cooked beef patties, the addition of IS or MS caused a lower 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) level than KS throughout the overall storage period (P < .05).
Collectively, researchers suggest, "the Fe2+ chelating activity of soy sauce may be one of the major mechanisms in preventing lipid oxidation in meat products".
Taken altogether, potato may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with oxidative stress, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Omega3 Fatty Acids Process Anti Anxiolytic Effect, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
Anxiety is a psychological and physiological state triggered by feelings of fear, worry, uneasiness, dread, etc.
The condition is a normal reaction to stress that allows a person to cope with the situation during an emotionally difficult time. But when anxiety symptoms escalate or become excessive, it can lead to anxiety disorder.
People experience anxiety differently. Some people feel a sudden moment of anxiety just a bad feeling, it comes and goes, only lasting a short time. Depending on how people cope with moments of anxiety, the events can be brief or last a few days.
However, in some persons, if anxiety does not go away, they may require treatment from related field specialists.
Some researchers suggested that anxiety disorders are conditions associated with the combination of biological, psychological, and individual factors, and the most commonly reported psychiatric conditions frequently occur as comorbid disorders.
According to the statistic, anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the age of 18 and older, or 18.1% of the population every year.
The exact causes of anxiety disorders are debatable. However, a family history of anxiety recent or prolonged exposure to stress, and excessive consumption of stimulants such as caffeine or tobacco is associated with the onset of the disorders.
The symptoms of anxiety disorders can be psychological or physical, including difficulty concentrating and sleeping, irritability, persistent stomachaches or diarrhea, sweaty palms, shaking, and rapid heartbeat.
Other patients may also experience frequent nervousness, restlessness, or being tense feelings of danger, panic, dread rapid heart rate rapid breathing, or hyperventilation,..... you may have developed an anxiety disorder.
Omega-3 fatty acids are phytochemicals in the class of lipids, found abundantly in deepsea fisk, dark-green leafy vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, etc.
The three main components of Omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
In finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of psychological disorders, researchers investigated the efficacy of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) for anxiety symptoms compared with controls.
The study included the research of clinical trials involved in the anxiolytic effect of omega-3 PUFAs in humans, in either placebo-controlled or non-placebo-controlled designs found 104 selected articles with 19 entered the final data extraction stage.
Based on the differentiation of the selected articles including 1203 participants with omega-3 PUFA treatment (mean age, 43.7 years; mean female proportion, 55.0%; mean omega-3 PUFA dosage, 1605.7 mg/d) and 1037 participants without omega-3 PUFA treatment (mean age, 40.6 years; mean female proportion, 55.0%), the researchers found that
* The administration of omega-3 fatty acid showed an association between clinical anxiety symptoms among participants with omega-3 PUFA treatment compared with control arms (Hedges g, 0.374; 95% CI, 0.081-0.666; P = .01).
* Furthermore, in subgroup analysis, injection of Omega 3 fatty acid showed that the association of treatment with reduced anxiety symptoms was significantly greater in subgroups with specific clinical diagnoses than in subgroups without clinical conditions.
* Moreover, The anxiolytic effect of omega-3 PUFAs was significantly better than that of controls only in subgroups with a higher dosage (at least 2000 mg/d) and not in subgroups with a lower dosage (<2000 mg/d).
In other words, omega-3 fatty acid has a strong implication in reducing anxiety symptoms in a dose-dependent manner.
Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids found abundantly in fish oil and plant oil may be considered a functional food for the treatment of anxiety, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Anxiety is a psychological and physiological state triggered by feelings of fear, worry, uneasiness, dread, etc.
The condition is a normal reaction to stress that allows a person to cope with the situation during an emotionally difficult time. But when anxiety symptoms escalate or become excessive, it can lead to anxiety disorder.
People experience anxiety differently. Some people feel a sudden moment of anxiety just a bad feeling, it comes and goes, only lasting a short time. Depending on how people cope with moments of anxiety, the events can be brief or last a few days.
However, in some persons, if anxiety does not go away, they may require treatment from related field specialists.

#Potatoes Inversely Are Associated with A Reduced Risk of Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, and CardiovascularDisease #CVD
Kyle J. Norton
Chronic diseases are medical conditions that last more than 3 months depending on the type of diseases.
In other words, chronic diseases generally cannot be prevented or cured by medication, nor do they just disappear.
According to the statistics, chronic diseases affect millions of people worldwide, leading to the death of 35 million people in 2005, including many young people and those in middle age.
The most common types of chronic diseases in the Western world are cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of conditions associated with the heart and blood vessels.
Heart disease is a class of diseases associated with interruption of blood flow in the blood vessel or damage of the heart tissue, including coronary artery diseases (CAD) such as angina and myocardial infarction.
Type 2 diabetes is a medical condition characterized by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate glucose due to either cells in the pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol.
Some researchers also suggested that people with certain medical conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome. and high blood pressure is more prone to the onset of the disease.
The most common symptoms of type 2 diabetes are an increased thirst that won't stop with water intake, increased hunger (especially after eating), dry mouth, frequent urination, and unintentional weight loss.
Obesity is a medical condition caused by excess body fat accumulated to some extent that impacts personal health. The hallmark of obesity is attenuated metabolism and structural cell changes in the obese fat observed by reducing metabolic activity.
Potato is the genus Solanum and belongs to the family Solanaceae. The veggie is a good source of protein and according to the statistic, the annual diet of an average global citizen is about 33 kg (72.6 Lbs) of potato. It now is growing worldwide in a suitable climate for commercial profits and health benefits, thus its consumption is extremely variable and rapidly changing.
In finding a potential plant for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, researchers evaluated the relation between intake of potatoes and risks of obesity, T2D, and CVD in apparently healthy adults.
According to the search of the databases of MEDLINE, Embase, the Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials involved in the intervention and prospective observational studies identified a total of 13 studies, including 5 studies that were related to obesity, 7 studies that were related to T2D, and one study that was related to CVD,* The association between potatoes (not including french fries) and adiposity was neutral in 2 studies and was positive in 2 studies.
* For T2D, 2 studies showed a positive association, whereas 5 studies showed no or a negative association with intake of potatoes and T2D.
* For CVD, no association was observed.
Most importantly, French fries were positively associated with T2D and obesity in all studies.
Collectively, researchers said, "The identified studies do not provide convincing evidence to suggest an association between intake of potatoes and risks of obesity, T2D, or CVD"
And, "French fries may be associated with increased risks of obesity and T2D".

The #Herbal #Ashwagandha #RootPowders Effect on Reducing Lipid Profiles in Vivos, Researchers Say
Kyle J. Norton
Cholesterol, a waxy substance produced by the liver or the dietary plays a critical role to aid digestive function in absorbing nutrients and fluids, build strong cell membranes, produce steroid hormones and vitamin D. However, excessive amounts of cholesterol in the blood have been found to induce plaque built-up on the arterial wall, leading to hypercholesterolemia, a leading cause of heart disease, and stroke.
Hypercholesterolemia is a condition characterized by abnormally high levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream.
The condition is a result caused by either overexpression of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL).
People with hypercholesterolemia at the early stage are asymptomatic. However, patients with familial hyper cholesterol may experience symptoms of chest pain with activity. xanthomas, and cholesterol deposits around the eyelids.
According to the statistics provided by the CDC, hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor of heart disease, a leading cause of death in the US.
In the US, approximately, 71 million American adults (33.5%) have high low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or “bad,” cholesterol. and only 1 out of every 3 adults with high LDL cholesterol has the condition under control.
Sadly, only 50% of people with hypercholesterolemia are getting treatment.
Ashwagandha also known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean.
The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered an anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.
In finding a potent compound for the treatment of high blood cholesterol, researchers examined the ashwagandha root extract's anti-hypercholesteremic effects in an animal model.
Selected hypercholesteremic male albino rats were given root powder of WS added to the diet at 0.75 and 1.5 gm/rat/day.
During the experiment, researchers found that the root powder of WS showed a strong anti-hypercholesteremic activity by significantly decreasing levels of total lipids, cholesterol, and triglycerides, in blood plasma.
Furthermore, WS also reduced the levels of cholesterol by significantly increasing plasma HDL-cholesterol levels, HMG-CoA reductase activity, and bile acid content of the liver.
Moreover, lipid-peroxidation associated with liver stress was inhibited by WS administration in hypercholesteremic animals, compared to other normal counterparts.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "It appeared that WS root powder is also effective in normal subjects for decreasing lipid profiles".
Taken together, Ashwagandha may be considered a functional herb for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, pending the result of a larger sample size and multicenter study
