Nuts, vegetables, fruits, and protein dietary pattern during pregnancy is inversely associated with risk of childhood allergies: a case–control study

mycolabadmin

This study found that pregnant women who ate more nuts, vegetables, fruits, and protein had children with significantly lower rates of allergies. The research compared the diets of mothers whose children developed allergies to mothers of allergy-free children and discovered that higher consumption of omega-3 fatty acids and folic acid during pregnancy was linked to healthier immune development. The findings suggest that eating a nutrient-rich diet during pregnancy may help protect babies from developing allergies and other immune-related conditions.

This study examined how different eating patterns affect people’s overall quality of life in Iran. Researchers found that people who eat more vegetables, fruits, legumes, and lean proteins report better physical and mental health. In contrast, diets high in processed foods, red meat, and sweets were associated with worse mental health in men. Interestingly, the benefits of healthy eating appeared stronger in women than men, suggesting that gender may influence how diet affects quality of life.

A cross-sectional study of the association between plant-based diet indices and kidney stones among Iranian adults

mycolabadmin

A study of nearly 10,000 Iranian adults found that people who followed a plant-based diet had a higher risk of developing kidney stones. However, the quality of plant-based eating did not matter—neither healthful nor unhealthful plant-based diets changed the risk significantly. This suggests that while plant-based diets are generally healthy, people at risk for kidney stones should ensure adequate calcium intake and proper hydration.

Epigenome-wide association study of BMI and waist-to-hip ratio and their associations with dietary patterns in Korean adults

mycolabadmin

This research examined how different types of obesity (overall body weight versus belly fat) are associated with changes in DNA methylation patterns in Korean adults. The study found that certain DNA regions become less methylated in obese individuals, and that these epigenetic changes are linked to different dietary patterns. The findings suggest that specific foods may influence these epigenetic modifications differently depending on whether someone has overall obesity or more belly fat, opening new possibilities for using diet to prevent or manage obesity.

Long-Term Food Variety and Dietary Patterns Are Associated with Frailty among Chinese Older Adults: A Cohort Study Based on CLHLS from 2014 to 2018

mycolabadmin

This study found that older Chinese adults who maintained a varied diet over four years had significantly lower rates of frailty compared to those with limited food variety. Two specific eating patterns were particularly beneficial: one including eggs, beans, pickles and some sugar, and another rich in fruits, vegetables, meat and fish. The findings suggest that encouraging elderly people to eat a diverse range of foods consistently over time may help prevent frailty and maintain better health in later life.
