Eating Peanuts May Lower Risk of Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke Among Asians

 


In a Japanese population study, peanut consumption was linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and ischemic stroke. 


Even a small amount of peanuts (four to five per day) can help prevent ischemic stroke and cardiovascular disease. 



According to new research published in stroke, a journal of the American Heart Association, a division of the American Stroke Association, Asian men and women living in Japan who ate peanuts (on average, 4-5 peanuts per day) had a lower risk of having an ischemic stroke or a cardiovascular disease event than those who did not eat peanuts. 


This study specifically examined the relationship between peanut consumption and the incidence of various types of stroke (ischemic and hemorrhagic) and cardiovascular disease events (such as stroke and ischemic heart disease) among Japanese men and women. Previous studies have linked peanut consumption with improved cardiovascular health among Americans. 


Lead study author S-A T O Y O, PhD, a specially appointed associate professor of public health in the department of social medicine at the Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine in S U-I T-A, Japan, stated, "We showed for the first time a reduced risk for ischemic stroke incidence associated with higher peanut consumption in an Asian population". According to our findings, including peanuts in your diet may help keep you from having an ischemic stroke. 


According to him, peanuts contain monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, and dietary fiber that help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by reducing risk factors, including high blood pressure, high blood levels of "bad" cholesterol, and chronic inflammation. These nutrients are beneficial to the heart


Researchers investigated the relationship between stroke and cardiovascular disease and the frequency with which people reported eating peanuts. Over 74,000 Asian men and women between the ages of 45 and 74 from the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study were included in the analysis, which was conducted in two phases: 1995 and 1998–1999.


A comprehensive lifestyle survey with a peanut consumption frequency questionnaire was completed by participants. They were followed for about 15 years, from when they were first enrolled in the study to 2009 or 2012. 


78 participating hospitals in the study's regions were linked to determine the incidence of stroke and ischemic heart disease. 


Based on participant responses to questionnaires, researchers adjusted for smoking, diet, other health conditions, and physical activity. Researchers found that during the follow-up period, there were 3,599 strokes (2,223 ischemic and 1,376 hemorrhagic) and 849 cases of ischemic heart disease. The levels of peanut consumption were ranked in four quartiles, with the lowest intake being 0 peanuts per day and the highest intake being 4 peanuts per day (median). Researchers found that eating about 4-5 peanuts per day was linked to the following


Unsalted nuts should be consumed about five times per week, according to the American Heart Association. Nuts weigh 12 ounces, or 2 tablespoons, in one serving. Unsalted cashews, walnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, and hazelnuts are all healthy alternatives to peanuts


He stated, "Despite the small quantity of peanuts consumed by study participants, the beneficial effect of peanut consumption on risk of stroke, especially ischemic stroke, was found". In Asian nations, eating peanuts and tree nuts is still uncommon.


 Nonetheless, including even a small amount in one's diet may be an easy but effective way to lower one's risk of cardiovascular disease. A few restrictions were noted in the review, including the legitimacy and unwavering quality utilization estimations in the information assortment and examination. 


These measurements' bias may result in association errors. In any case, an estimation mistake remedy examination was performed, and the affiliations ended up being precise

Overconsumption of Common Red Food Dye May Lead to Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Image
  Allure Red AC, a synthetic dye found in popular foods like Skittles, Doritos, Gatorade, Jell-O, and Fruit Loops, has been linked to an increased risk of developing inflammatory bowel diseases (I-B D S) such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis if consumed frequently. The dye, also known as FD & C Red 40 and Food Red 17, is thought to have negative effects on gut health and increase inflammation, according to a small study done on laboratory mice. The study, which was recently published in Nature Communications, found that the additive directly breaks the gut barrier, which helps keep bacteria from getting in, and that it also makes more serotonin, a hormone and neurotransmitter in the gut. According to the report, this reaction alters the microbiome of the gut, making people more likely to develop inflammatory bowel conditions. What we have found is striking and alarming, as this common synthetic food dye may be a dietary trigger for I-B D S, said senior author W-A L-I U...

Border violence displaces 76,000 in Lebanon: Hezbollah

 The International Organization for Migration (IOM) of the United Nations reported on Friday that nearly three months of nearly daily fighting along the border with Israel had resulted in the displacement of more than 76,000 people in Lebanon.
