Probiotic supplementation could reduce the adverse effects of rapid weight loss in combat athletes by modulating gut homeostasis and strengthening intestinal barrier integrity.<\/p>\n

Combat sports athletes often experience gastrointestinal disturbances during pre-competition weight management. <\/p>\n

Writing in Frontiers in Nutrition, Chinese researchers reported that supplementing with a blend of probiotics could significantly reduce gastrointestinal symptoms, including dyspepsia, diarrhea and constipation, as well as gut permeability markers such as zonulin. <\/p>\n

Heat-treated Lactobacillus gasseri CP2305 may boost brain activity for young healthy people and alleviate stress levels, according to a small study from Asahi Quality and Innovations in Japan. <\/p>\n

Data published in Frontiers in Nutrition indicated that a single dose of the postbiotic was associated with an increase in relaxation-associated brain alpha activity and improved parasympathetic nervous system activity \u2013 also the body\u2019s \u201crest and digest\u201d mode that helps to stress, reduce heart rate and build resilience. <\/p>\n

Additional data from an intestinal cell model revealed increases in serotonin secretion. <\/p>\n

Short-term ginger supplementation could enhance cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) and improve antioxidant response in healthy participants, according to new findings published in Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice. <\/p>\n

A predictor of cardiovascular risk, CEC levels are inversely related to coronary events. <\/p>\n

It acts as a critical step in the reverse cholesterol pathway, in which high-density lipoprotein (HDL) removes excess cholesterol from tissues and cells and delivers it to the liver for excretion or recycling. <\/p>\n

Protein supplementation, depending on the types of protein taken, can affect the plasma levels of different advanced glycation end products (AGEs), based on new findings published in Nutrients.<\/p>\n

For instance, soy protein supplementation can significantly increase the plasma levels of the AGE N(6)-(1-carboxymethyl)-L-lysine (CML) \u2013 an AGE found to be elevated in patients with type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease. <\/p>\n

Casein protein supplementation also showed a significant increase in plasma levels of the AGE pentosidine, where high levels are identified as a risk factor for fractures in older adults with diabetes.<\/p>\n

\"DoseDose for Cholesterol (Dose Facebook)<\/p>\n

Daily supplementation with Dose for Cholesterol liquid supplement has demonstrated lipid-lowering and cardioprotective effects in healthy adults, according to a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted in India. <\/p>\n

Findings published in the Journal of Dietary Supplements reported that the supplement lowered low-density lipoprotein (LDL), total cholesterol, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and triglycerides, alongside increasing levels of HDL.<\/p>\n

In addition, improvements were seen in several cardiometabolic biomarkers such as adiponectin, ApoA1 and ApoB.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mixed Martial Art (Sunan Wongsa-nga\/Getty Images) Probiotic supplementation could reduce the adverse effects of rapid weight loss in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":867980,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[4687,306216,9070,12990,171106,295,10213,8112,4839,3149,12281,8387,38967,91365,97,253,2631,54914,305550,955,984,2471,269,180022,31048,5964,14521,673],"class_list":["post-867979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nutrition","tag-analysis","tag-axis","tag-background","tag-bacteria","tag-checkup","tag-copy-space","tag-diagnosis","tag-diet","tag-digestion","tag-disease","tag-find","tag-focus","tag-glass","tag-gut","tag-health","tag-healthcare","tag-human","tag-link","tag-magnifying","tag-medical","tag-mental","tag-neurology","tag-nutrition","tag-organ","tag-probiotics","tag-psychology","tag-system","tag-wellness"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867979","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=867979"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867979\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/867980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=867979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=867979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=867979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
