Ashwagandha Supplementation for Cognitive Enhancement: Evidence from MCI and Healthy Populations
Recent randomized trials show ashwagandha, including Somin-On™, significantly improves memory and cognitive function in adults with mild cognitive impairment and healthy young adults, with good safety profiles.
Medium‑Chain Triglyceride–Supplemented Ketogenic Diet in Parkinson’s Disease: A Small Randomized Feasibility Trial and What It Means for Clinical Practice
A randomized, double‑blind pilot tested an MCT‑supplemented ketogenic diet (MCT‑KD) in 16 people with moderate Parkinson’s disease. The diet was feasible and acceptable, induced nutritional ketosis by day 4, produced metabolic benefits and
Ketogenic Diet vs Further Antiseizure Medication in Infants with Drug-Resistant Epilepsy: What the KIWE Trial Adds to Clinical Practice
The KIWE randomised trial (Lancet Neurol 2023) found no superiority of a classic ketogenic diet over an additional antiseizure medication for seizure frequency in infants (1–24 months) with drug‑resistant epilepsy; tolerability and safety p
Divergent Metabolic Impacts of Ketogenic Versus Free-Sugar-Restricted Diets: Insights from a 12-Week Randomized Controlled Trial
A 12-week RCT reveals that ketogenic, but not free-sugar-restricted, diets significantly alter glucose tolerance, lipid metabolism, skeletal muscle phenotype, and gut microbiome in healthy adults, despite similar fat mass reductions.
Three Weeks of Ketogenic Diet Significantly Boosts Skeletal Muscle Insulin Sensitivity in Obesity: Insights from a Randomized Crossover Trial
A 3-week ketogenic diet improved skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity and promoted weight loss in individuals with obesity, without significant effects on liver or adipose tissue insulin sensitivity.
Unraveling the Gut-Brain Axis: Microbiota and Metabolite Shifts Predict Seizure Reduction in Children on the Ketogenic Diet
Serum metabolome and gut microbiota changes during ketogenic diet therapy correlate with seizure reduction in drug-resistant pediatric epilepsy, implicating plasmalogens and specific gut microbes in anti-seizure effects.
Ketogenic vs. Mediterranean Diets in Overweight Hypertensive Patients: Insights from the Keto-Salt Pilot Study
A head-to-head comparison of ketogenic and Mediterranean diets demonstrates comparable benefits on weight, blood pressure, and metabolic health in overweight hypertensive adults over three months.
Flaxseed Powder Supplementation: Emerging Evidence in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Metabolic Health
Flaxseed powder supplementation shows promise in improving liver fat, lipid metabolism, and inflammation in NAFLD and related metabolic disorders, with effects on gut microbiota but limited synergism with fasting mimicking diets.
Intermittent Fasting for Weight Loss in Night Shift Workers: A Three-Arm Superiority Randomised Clinical Trial
This clinical trial compared two modified intermittent fasting strategies to continuous energy restriction for weight loss and insulin resistance improvements in night shift workers, finding no significant differences but overall health ben
16:8 Time-Restricted Eating in Strength Training: Can You Build Muscle in a Compressed Window?
A hypercaloric 16:8 time-restricted eating (TRE) regimen supports muscle and strength gains in well-trained individuals, but with modestly lower training volume and squat strength, and less fat mass gain compared to all-day feeding.
Personalized Probiotic Therapy: Akkermansia muciniphila Supplementation in Overweight and Obese Type 2 Diabetes—Baseline Levels Matter
Akkermansia muciniphila supplementation improves metabolic outcomes in overweight/obese type 2 diabetes patients only when baseline gut levels are low, underscoring the need for personalized microbiota-guided interventions.

How Is Urticaria Contracted and What Common Daily Factors Trigger It?
Urticaria, or hives, is a common skin condition triggered by various factors including foods, medications, infections, physical stimuli, and emotional stress. Understanding these triggers helps in prevention and effective management.
Daily Multivitamin Use May Slow Memory Decline in Older Adults
Harvard researchers found that daily multivitamin supplementation modestly improves memory and cognition in seniors, potentially delaying cognitive aging by up to two years.
Exercising for 20 Minutes Can Counteract the Harm of Sleep Deprivation
Moderate exercise for 20 minutes daily can reduce inflammation caused by lack of sleep and improve cardiovascular health, immunity, weight control, and mental well-being.
Irregular Sleep Patterns: Unveiling Hidden Health Risks Across Metabolic, Cardiovascular, and Mental Domains
Recent studies link irregular sleep to higher risks of type 2 diabetes, cardiometabolic diseases, all-cause mortality, and depression. Consistent sleep timing may offer crucial protection against these adverse outcomes.
