The_King Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 https://sg.news.yahoo.com/scientists-pinpoint-common-vegetable-lower-075739667.html Scientists have revealed one common vegetable that can lower blood sugar levels by 50 per cent – and could see “potential use” in treating patients with diabetes. People with Type 2 diabetes are not able to produce sufficient insulin from their pancreas to regulate blood sugar, which means that their blood sugar can reach dangerously high levels. However, findings presented at The Endocrine Society’s 97th annual meeting in San Diego on Thursday (25 August) revealed that the extract of an onion bulb can “strongly lower” high blood sugar and total cholesterol levels when given alongside antidiabetic drug metformin. Lead study author Anthony Ojieh of Delta State University in Abraka, Nigeria, said: “Onion is cheap and available and has been used as a nutritional supplement. It has the potential for use in treating patients with diabetes.” The researchers tested the theory on rats. In total, three groups of rats with medically induced diabetes were given various doses of the onion extract to see if it would enhance the drug’s effect. The doses were 200mg, 400mg, and 600mg per kilogram of body weight. The researchers also gave the drug and onion to three groups of nondiabetic rats with normal blood sugar. The study found that, of the diabetic rats, those given 400mg and 600mg per kilogram of body weight “strongly reduced” their blood sugar levels by 50 per cent and 35 per cent respectively compared with a baseline level. The onion extract also lowered the total cholesterol level in diabetic rats, with the 400mg and 600mg having the greatest effects. The study also found that the onion extract led to weight gain among the nondiabetic rats, but not the diabetic rats. “Onion is not high in calories,” Ojieh explained. “However, it seems to increase the metabolic rate and, with that, to increase the appetite, leading to an increase in feeding. “We need to investigate the mechanism by which onion brought about the blood glucose reduction. We do not yet have an explanation.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_King Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Sodium may enhance the flavours of our meals, but too much of it is bad for our health — water retention, increase in blood pressure, feeling thirsty, just to name a few. More Herbs, Less Salt Day, which was on 29 August, highlights how herbs can replace salt to help us achieve a healthier diet without making our foods bland. Below are some flavourful herbs and spices you can use as salt-free seasonings for your meal prep. 1. Paprika Paprika is made of a combination of dried sweet and hot peppers. Depending on the type of paprika, its taste ranges from mild and sweet to spicy to smoked. Apart from adding colour to a recipe, this crimson-coloured powder can be used to season poultry.

(Photo: Amazon SG) 2. Basil Basil is an herb essential in Italian cooking, but it is also used in Thai and Vietnamese cuisines. Known as the main ingredient in traditional pesto, basil has a fragrant, sweet smell and peppery taste. It is best used as seasoning for pasta, beef, and poultry.

Rosemary Rosemary is a shrub with aromatic, needle-like leaves. Its lemony and woodsy taste lends deep flavours to meats like lamb, pork and chicken. Rosemary also pairs well with potatoes and stews.

Cinnamon Cinnamon has a spicy-sweet taste that makes it a great addition to sweet and savoury dishes. Its aroma may be pleasant to some, but repelling for others. Besides adding a dash to your drink (coffee, tea, or hot chocolate), it can also be used on bread and pork.

Cumin Cumin is commonly used in Latin American, Middle Eastern, North African, and Indian cuisines. The brownish-yellow seed, also available in ground form, is a typical ingredient in chilli powder and spice blends. Its warm, earthy flavour and sweet and bitter aroma makes it a good seasoning for fish and pork. Ground Cumin, 50g S$2.90 at Amazon Ground Cumin, 50g.

It has a pungent aroma and tastes earthy and slightly bitter. Dried oregano is more common, which has a less aggressive flavour than fresh oregano. It is an ideal seasoning for pasta and poultry.

(Photo: Amazon SG) BONUS: SEASONING BLENDS If you don’t want to rely on a single herb or spice for your meals, consider using seasoning blends that will make your dishes stand out even if you don’t use salt. Some common blends include Italian seasoning, cajun seasoning, and curry seasoning. Simply Organic Italian Seasoning, 27g S$7.47 S$8.30 at Amazon Simply Organic Italian Seasoning, 27g.

Cola-based soft drinks induces increase of ROS marker in the hippocampus. Cola-based soft drinks induces increase of lipid peroxidation in the hippocampus. Cola-based soft drinks induces alteration in the activity of oxidative enzymes. Abstract Introduction The consumption of soft drinks has increased considerably in recent decades, mainly cola soft drinks. Excessive consumption of cola-based soft drinks is associated with several diseases and cognitive decline, particularly memory impairment. Furthermore, diets with high sugar can promote insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and dyslipidemia. Aim Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of cola soft drink intake on behavioral alterations and oxidative damage in 2-, 8- and 14- month-old male Wistar rats. Methods The soft drink groups drank soft drink and/or water ad libitum during 67 days, the control groups ingested only water. Radial-arm maze and Y-maze were used to evaluate spatial memory, open-field to evaluate the habituation memory, and inhibitory avoidance to evaluate aversive memory. The behavioral tests started at the day 57 and finished at day 67 of treatment. At 68th day, the rats were killed; frontal cortex and hippocampus were dissected to the analysis of antioxidants enzymes catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD); and the oxidative markers thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate (DCFH) were measured in the hippocampus. https://www.thestar.com.my/lifestyle/health/2022/08/31/could-cola-be-making-you-dumb-a-study-says-yes Results and discussion The cola-based soft drink intake caused memory impairment in the radial-arm maze, Y-maze task, and open-field in the 2- and 8-month-old rat, but not in the 14-month-old. There were no difference among groups in the inhibitory avoidance test. In the frontal cortex, soft drink intake reduced CAT activity in the 8-month-old rats and SOD activity in the 8- and 14-month-old rats. In the hippocampus, the soft drink increased CAT activity in 2- and 8-month-old rats, increased DCFH levels at all ages, and increased TBARS levels in 2-month-rats. Therefore, the results show that long-term soft drink intake leads to memory impairment and oxidative stress. The younger seems to be more susceptible to the soft drink alterations on behavior; however, soft drink caused alterations in the oxidative system at all ages evaluated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if our health care got keep track or not. There might be some un-reported cases if family members never take these patients for hospital check up and think it's part of aging. Dementia is really a long goodbye to loved ones. Can slowly watch loved one whom u know become someone you do not know anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can slowly watch loved one whom u know become someone you do not know anymore. MOH does track. But mostly are raw data. Someone from PHD student in NUS must prepare a paper on SG Dementia cases to make it more reader friendly! Early stage dementia eg stage 1 & 2, mostly family members and elderly folks will just past it off as "forgetful" incidences! Its the subsequent stages of dementia that is more trying and family/caregivers will seek help! Just like cancer loh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
