Eat Badly Because Depressed or Depressed Because of Bad Food?

Luntz, Stephen

The Western diet is associated with mental health issues among teenagers, a study published in Preventative Medicine has found. While the idea is hardly new, the research examined 1600 Western Australian teenagers, the first time that the whole diets of teenagers have been assessed against their mental health.

Lead author Dr Wendy Oddy of the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research acknowledges that many questions remain unanswered. One of these is the direction of causation - do people eat bad food because they are depressed, or depressed because they eat badly? "We can't answer that with this data, but we have a grant to follow up the sample group over time," Oddy says.

Likewise there is a strong relationship between obesity and mental health issues, but as yet the data do not reveal which comes first. However, Oddy says that "nutrients affect brain function, so it is biologically plausible this is from energy-dense foods pushing nutrients out of the diet".

Participants in the study were asked to rate how often they ate certain foods, and to estimate helping sizes. The 212 foods were grouped into 38 categories and tested against a range of mental health indicators.

Foods considered healthy, such as fresh fruit, vegetables and wholemeal cereals, were associated with lower rates of mental illness symptoms, although in many cases the associations were not statistically significant. Red meat and confectionary showed significant associations with poor mental health outcomes, and this was also observed for the highest consumers of takeaway foods. Non-significant negative outcomes were observed for soft drink, refined grains and chips.

These results applied after controlling for factors such as sedentary behaviour and parental income and education. The correlation was stronger with externalising factors such as temper tantrums, aggression and even lying than internalising factors such as anxiety.

Oddy is reluctant to lay social violence on diet's door but says: "If you take out all the other factors such as social conditions there may be a small contribution. Then again there is evidence that healthy diets in prison cafeterias can ameliorate prison violence."

Oddy says there are many possible explanations. "Antioxidants in fruits and vegetables protect against cell damage; high levels of glucose cause rapid mood swings. There's also evidence essential fatty acids may contribute to mental health."

Inadequate Omega 3 Intake Shortens Lives

A new study from researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health found Omega-3 deficient diets cause up to 96,000 preventable deaths annually in the United States (US).

"The Preventable Causes of Death in the United States: Comparative Risk Assessment of Dietary, Lifestyle, and Metabolic Risk Factors" study published in the April 2009 issue of PLoS Medicine estimated the number of deaths resulting from 12 different modifiable and preventable causes to determine how many deaths were attributable to these factors.

Of the 12 dietary, lifestyle and metabolic risk factors examined in the study, Omega-3 fatty acid deficiency ranked as the sixth highest killer of Americans, responsible for a whopping 72,000 to 96,000 preventable deaths yearly. Omega-3 fatty acid deficiency even beat out high trans fat intake, which is responsible for an estimated 63,000 to 97,000 deaths annually.

Researchers retrieved data on exposures to the 12 selected risk factors from US national health surveys, and obtained information on deaths from different diseases for 2005 from the US National Health Center for Health Statistics. They also used previously published studies to estimate how much each risk factor increased the risk of death from each disease, and applied a mathematical model to estimate the number of deaths related to each risk factor.

Tobacco smoking ranked as the highest risk factor with 436,000 to 500,000 attributed preventable deaths, followed by high blood pressure (372,000 to 414,000), obesity (188,000 to 237,000), physical inactivity (164,000 to 222,000) and high salt intake (97,000-107,000).

Studies such as this are becoming increasingly important in the US and around the world as healthcare costs skyrocket. Policymakers use these studies to determine leading causes of mortality among populations, and then to develop and implement public health policies and legislation to help reduce exposure and to prevent death from certain risk factors.

About Omega-3:

Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid (EFA), consisting of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), and ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). Oily fish (such as sardines, anchovies, mackerel, and salmon) are the only known natural sources of Omega-3 EPA/DHA. ALA is found in plants, such as flax and chia. It is important to note that only EPA and DHA contribute to the many health benefits associated with Omega-3. While the body can convert ALA into EPA/DHA, it does so very inefficiently (less than one percent), making it impossible to derive Omega-3-related health benefits from plant-sourced ALA. Furthermore, although Omega-3 EPA/DHA is vital to overall good health, the human body is not able to produce it on its own, so supplementation is required, either by eating oily fish or foods fortified with Omega-3 EPA/DHA, or by taking fish oil supplements.

10 Superfoods to Boost Your Health

Stephanie Rogers

Not all foods were created equal - some are so packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, essential fatty acids and other beneficial substances that they've been deemed "superfoods." Superfoods have incredible health benefits, packing a powerful nutritional punch that helps protect against cancer and heart disease, lower cholesterol, protect the organs from toxins and improve digestive health. Some nutritionists even say superfoods can help you live longer.

Here are 10 superfoods that can supercharge your diet, including fruits, vegetables, dairy, legumes, grains and fish.

- Acai: This exotic berry from the Amazon has been the subject of intense hype, but there's a good reason why it's so trendy. Named by famed nutritionist Dr. Nicholas Perricone as his No. 1 superfood and one of the most powerful foods in the world, acai (ah-sigh-ee) contains a remarkable concentration of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. It's considered one of nature's best offerings to combat premature aging thanks to its high monounsaturated oleic acid content. Oleic acid helps omega-3 fish oils penetrate cell membranes, making them more supple.

- Yogurt: It's alive! Yogurt contains active cultures known as "friendly bacteria" that restore healthy balance in the digestive system. Among the most well-known cultures is Lactobacillus acidophilus, which passes through the stomach and populates the intestines, helping the body fight off infection. One cup contains 50 percent more calcium than the same size serving of milk, and it's also full of potassium, riboflavin, magnesium and phosphate.

- Broccoli: This cruciferous vegetable is loaded with vitamin C, folic acid and carotenoids, which are packed with vitamin A and can protect your cells from the damage of free radicals, enhance immune system function and improve reproductive health. Just one serving (1 medium stalk) provides 175 percent of the recommended daily value of vitamin K, which helps build strong bones and plays an important role in blood clotting. Just half a cup of broccoli per day is also said to help prevent a number of cancers, particularly cancers of the lung, colon, rectum and stomach.

- Lentils: Among the most nutritious legumes, lentils are a great source of cholesterol-lowering fiber and lean protein. They contain lots of iron and B vitamins and are very filling, yet low in calories. Folate and magnesium also contribute to heart heath and improve the flow of blood, oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

- Sweet potatoes: They'll satisfy your craving for starches but are far healthier than their white, nutritionally lacking cousins. Carotenoids, vitamin C, potassium and fiber are just a few of the benefits of eating this savory-sweet veggie, which is ranked among the highest vegetables on the nutrition scale. Sweet potatoes can help stabilize blood sugar, making them a great choice for diabetics, and are relatively low in calories.

- Blueberries: Hidden within the juicy, deep blue-purple flesh of this tasty fruit is cancer-fighting ellagic acid, an antioxidant that has been proven in laboratory research to slow the growth of some cancerous tumors. Blueberry extracts have also been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and help prevent infectious bacteria from clinging to the walls of the gut, bladder and urethra.

- Wild salmon: Packed with omega-3 fats, wild salmon can help reduce the risk of sudden-death heart attacks and contains lots of vitamin D and selenium for healthy hair, skin, nails and bones. Wild salmon can be eaten with little fear of mercury or excess contaminants and is more nutritionally rich than farmed salmon. Wild salmon also has a smaller environmental impact. Consume two to four four-ounce servings a week for optimal benefits.

- Goji berries: They've been called the most nutritionally dense food on Earth, and they taste something like salty raisins. Lycium barbarum, commonly known as goji berries, contain more vitamin C than oranges, more beta carotene than carrots and more iron than steak. The dried Himalayan fruit is also a great source of B vitamins and antioxidants and contains 15 amino acids. Goji has been used medicinally in China for centuries to improve blood circulation, strengthen the limbs, improve eyesight, protect the liver, increase libido and boost immune function.

- Kale: A dark, leafy green in the same vegetable family as broccoli and Brussels sprouts, kale contains high amounts of beta carotene, iron and folate. It's also a low-calorie, low-carb source of protein that's packed with fiber, which improves digestive health and helps you feel full. A small cupful of cooked kale provides more than half the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C.

- Barley: This low-glycemic grain is high in both soluble and insoluble fiber, which help the body metabolize fats and promote a healthy digestive tract, respectively. Eating hulled barley on a regular basis is said to lower blood cholesterol levels, protect against cancer and keep blood-sugar levels stable. Barley is rich in niacin, vitamin E, lignans and phytochemicals that function as antioxidants.

Low Vit D = High Blood Pressure

Vitamin D deficiency in younger women is associated with increased risk of high blood pressure in mid-life, a U.S. researcher said.

Co-investigator Flojaune C. Griffin, a doctoral candidate in epidemiology at the University of Michigan School of Public Health in Ann Arbor and colleagues examined women enrolled in the Michigan Bone Health and Metabolism Study.

They analyzed data from 559 Caucasian women living in Tecumseh, Mich., beginning in 1992 when the women were ages 24-44, with an average age of 38 years.

The researchers took blood pressure readings annually throughout the study and measured vitamin D blood levels once in 1993.

The study found premenopausal women who had vitamin D deficiency in 1993 had three times the risk of developing systolic hypertension 15 years later compared to those who had normal levels of vitamin D.

"This study differs from others because we are looking over the course of 15 years, a longer follow-up than many studies," Griffin said in a statement."Our results indicate that early vitamin D deficiency may increase the long-term risk of high blood pressure in women at mid-life."

The findings were presented at the American Heart Association's 63rd High Blood Pressure Research Conference in Chicago.

Cut Your Carb Intake in Half - No Dieting Required

When it comes to the dieting game, carbohydrates are a super villain. Sure, bread, pasta, cookies, and candy may taste good. But they'll also make you fat quick wreaking havoc with your blood sugar in the process.

If you've tried to kick the highcarb habit, then you know it's a lot easier said than done. But what if you could erase the impact of those blood-sugar-busting foods...and still eat what you want... just by taking a single natural supplement?

This may sound too good to be true - but it's not. In fact, a recently published paper reveals that the diet-free secret to slashing carbs could actually be hiding in a most unlikely place: the northern kidney bean.

Why kidney beans? Evidence suggests that an extract of Phaseolus vulgarus (also known as the canellini bean) can inhibit amylase - an enzyme found in your pancreas and saliva that's responsible for breaking down starches and turning them into glucose for your body. In short: If amylase is blocked, so is your sugar uptake - regardless of how many carbs you may have piled on your plate. And the impact this can have on your blood sugar levels is significant, as preliminary clinical trials show.

On two separate occasions a full week apart, researchers gave 11 subjects (who had been fasting overnight) four slices of white bread, along with two tablespoons of margarine and four grams of artificial sweetener. The subjects were divided into two groups: One that received 1.5 grams of kidney bean extract with the experimental meal, and the control group that did not. Blood sugar levels were evaluated prior to the meal, and again at 15-minute intervals for the two hours that followed.

Results showed that subjects who took the white kidney bean extract experienced a significantly smaller spike in blood sugar - and that their levels returned to normal more quickly than subjects who ate the meal alone. In fact, calculations showed that the kidney bean extract group absorbed 66 percent less sugar from the meal - group - meaning that the canellini bean extract inhibited the uptake of a whopping two-thirds of the experimental meal's starch content.1

Similar results were reflected in a smaller study, this time examining the blood sugar of seven subjects in the hour following a large, balanced meal containing fiber, sugars, starch, fat, and protein. While too small to be considered statistically significant, the findings of this study nevertheless indicate that white kidney bean extract can reduce post-meal glucose fluctuations by as much as 44 percent.1

This news gives the term "magic beans" a whole new meaning. But there's nothing magical at all about this clinically proven, carbblocking white kidney bean extract - in fact, you can find it today as a supplement called Phase 2, from Vitamin Research Products.

Melatonin Improves Age-Related Changes

Melatonin, a hormone secreted primarily from the pineal gland, plays an important role in the regulation of circadian rhythms, is a potent antioxidant and protects nuclear and mitochondrial DNA from oxidative damage.

Mitochondria are intracellular organelles, which as components of cells are responsible for generating the majority of cellular energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is produced through various biochemical pathways including the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain (oxidative phosphorylation). Oxidative phosphorylation, however, also generates numerous damaging free radicals, a process which is involved in inflammation, cell damage, membrane-related diseases and cellular aging.
In a new study, chronic melatonin supplementation was evaluated to determine its effect on the impairment of mitochondria in the brains of mice. The researchers added melatonin to the drinking water of mice bred for accelerated aging and evaluated brain mitochondrial function at 5 and 10 months of age. The mitochondria were evaluated for oxidative stress by measuring the levels of lipid peroxidation and the nitrite to glutathione/glutathione disulfide ratio. Glutathione is a potent endogenous antioxidant that protects cells from reactive oxygen species such as free radicals and peroxides.

The researchers also measured the activity of the enzymes glutathione peroxidase, which protects cells by converting free hydrogen peroxide to water, and glutathione reductase, an enzyme that reduces glutathione upon exposure to oxidative stress and is used as a measure of cellular toxicity. Additionally, the study evaluated the capability of the mitochondria to produce energy via oxidative phosphorylation by the electron transport chain, using measurements of the activity of the respiratory chain complexes and the ATP content of the mitochondria.

The results of the study showed that aging caused a significant decline in mitochondrial function including decreased efficiency of the electron transport chain and reduced ATP production. In addition, there was an increase in oxygen and nitrogen free radical-induced stress. When the mice were supplemented with melatonin between 1 and 10 months of age, the mitochondrial impairment was completely prevented. In fact, melatonin administration resulted in a more consistent or even increased production of ATP.

The researchers concluded, "Thus, melatonin administration as a single therapy maintained fully functioning brain mitochondria during aging, a finding with important consequences in the pathophysiology of brain aging."

A Natural Anti-Aging Wonder

Imagine a single substance that could virtually stop aging... a substance that plays a key role in reducing complications like enlarged liver, inflammation and diabetes, even if you're overweight... a substance that may double your endurance, increase your bone mass and improve your motor skills... or restore your heart's "biological age" to one-half your current chronological age.

It may be difficult to believe that such a compound even exists, let alone that it's actually abundant in nature. But such is the case with trans-resveratrol - a potent phytonutrient you'll find in red wine, grape skin, and plants like Japanese knotweed.

Research on trans-resveratrol has been picking up steam in recent years, leaving the world to wonder if there's anything this incredible natural antioxidant can't do. And amazingly, the news just keeps getting better.

In a new study, researchers examined the effects of trans-resveratrol on rats with colon cancer. The rats were divided into four groups according to treatment - one that received a chemical to induce cancer (called 1,2-dimethylhydrazine, or DHM for short), one that received DHM and trans-resveratrol, one that received only trans-resveratrol, and finally, one that received no treatment to serve as a control.

Over the course of this 30-week study, researchers had two major goals: to evaluate the short-term effect that this powerful compound would have on DNA damage and to evaluate the long-term effect it would have on membrane lipid peroxidation (the process by which free radicals cause damage to cell membranes). In addition, the researchers measured the levels of circulating antioxidants.

The results? Rats supplemented with trans-resveratrol showed significantly less white blood cell damage than those that received DHM alone. What's more, those that received trans-resveratrol for the full 30 weeks also showed a marked increase in several key antioxidant enzymes - including superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione reductase - along with other antioxidant factors like vitamin C, vitamin E and beta-carotene. Finally, this group of rats also showed a noticeable decrease in markers of dangerous lipid peroxidation.1

In the end, the study authors' conclusion couldn't be more clear - or promising, for that matter - stating "results indicate that DMH-induced DNA damage and oxidative stress were suppressed/prevented effectively by chronic resveratrol supplementation."

So does that mean getting your daily dose of trans-resveratrol can keep your colon safe? Without a human study, there's no way to say for sure. But with all of the other proven benefits provided by trans-resveratrol, one thing is certain: adding it to your daily supplement program today is one of the smartest moves you can make.

Even better, try VRP's Extension Resveratrol - a formula that combines the most clinically effective form of this natural compound (trans-resveratrol) with the antioxidant powerhouses quercetin and red wine polyphenols to provide maximum antioxidant synergy and bioavailability of trans-resveratrol.

A Fast Way to Restore Your Liver

Daily assault is part of your liver's job description. After all, it's your personal purification system - responsible for removing harmful compounds from your blood, and for metabolizing critical hormones and drugs. But for all the abuse it's built to take, it's not invincible... and it's not nearly as difficult as you might think to push this vital organ over the edge.

Toxic overload, an autoimmune misfire, or a common viral infection could be the cause of a variety of liver problems. Acute hepatitis can be caused by everything from a viral infection to certain types of drugs, alcohol or autoimmune conditions such as lupus. Viral infection of the liver is called infectious or viral hepatitis - that is, inflammation of the liver - and it's serious business. The good news? Acute hepatitis - unlike its more destructive chronic counterpart - usually resolves itself in a matter of months. The bad news is that there's no treatment available in most of these cases... and while only a small number of acute infections will actually result in death, the risk is still very much there.

Of course, even without that risk, acute hepatitis is a hard pill to swallow. When you're faced with symptoms like persistent fatigue, nausea, and headache - not to mention a few extras, including jaundice and anorexia - simply "waiting it out" is no walk in the park.

Luckily, a recently published clinical trial offers some compelling modern-day support for the historical use of milk thistle - and more specifically, its main constituent silymarin. The study enrolled 105 subjects, each with symptoms of acute hepatitis - including levels of the liver enzyme alanine aminotransferase (ALT) that were more than double the normal upper limits.

Participants were treated with either 140 mg of silymarin or placebo three times per day, for a period of four weeks - followed by an additional four-week follow up. Liver tests were run at regular intervals throughout the eight-week trial... with some very promising results.

Researchers found that subjects taking silymarin experienced a significantly quicker recovery from acute hepatitis symptoms - including jaundice, dark urine, and yellowing eyes - when compared to the placebo group. Liver function tests also revealed a decrease in this group's levels of indirect bilirubin - a hemoglobin byproduct that's excreted in bile, and which naturally rises in cases of hepatitis, cirrhosis, and other forms of liver disease. Even better, no adverse events were reported.1

You can find silymarin as a stand-alone supplement or as part of the comprehensive liver support formula HepatoGen - both available now through Vitamin Research Products.
