The Impact

The aim of this meta-analysis was to review the impact of a Paleolithic diet (PD) on selected health indicators (body composition, lipid profile, blood pressure, and carbohydrate metabolism) in the short and long term of nutrition intervention in healthy and unhealthy adults. A systematic review of randomized controlled trials of 21 full-text original human studies was conducted. Both the PD and a variety of healthy diets (control diets (CDs)) caused reduction in anthropometric parameters, both in the short and long term. For many indicators, such as weight (body mass (BM)), body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC), impact was stronger and especially found in the short term. All diets caused a decrease in total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglycerides (TG), albeit the impact of PD was stronger. Among long-term studies, only PD cased a decline in TC and LDL-C. Impact on blood pressure was observed mainly in the short term. PD caused a decrease in fasting plasma (fP) glucose, fP insulin, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in the short run, contrary to CD. In the long term, only PD caused a decrease in fP glucose and fP insulin. Lower positive impact of PD on performance was observed in the group without exercise. Positive effects of the PD on health and the lack of experiments among professional athletes require longer-term interventions to determine the effect of the Paleo diet on athletic performance.

AbstractBackgroundNowadays, yoga is endorsed and advised routinely to stay fit and healthy, as well as control many chronic diseases including diabetes type 2, hypertension, coronary artery diseases, etc. Now, our assumption is that those who do regular yoga have different persona than who do not do yoga regularly. We planned to test our hypothesis scientifically, and therefore baseline physiological characteristics with stress and inflammation levels in long-term and short-term meditators and healthy novice controls were analyzed.MethodsIn this retrospective analysis, 97 male participants were included for their Baseline analysis. Fifteen apparently healthy subjects practicing preksha meditation (since >5 years, at least 5 days a week) were included as long-term meditators (LTMs); 58 subjects who attended one of our short-term yoga-based lifestyle intervention programs for 2 weeks were included as short-term meditators (STMs); 24 male novice subjects, who did not participate in any yogic intervention, were included as healthy controls. Here, we analyzed the Baseline plasma levels of stress and inflammatory markers, cortisol, β-endorphin, interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in long-term meditators vs. short-term meditators vs. healthy controls.Outcome measuresThe study parameters body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), plasma levels of stress and immune markers, cortisol, β-endorphin (β-Ed), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), were assessed in all the three groups at baseline.ResultsSignificant (p<0.05) differences were observed at baseline for plasma levels of stress and inflammatory markers as well as body mass index and systolic blood pressure among LTM vs. STM vs. healthy controls.ConclusionsOur observations suggest that the subjects who do regular yoga-meditation practice have better stress & inflammation status than comparable age matched healthy controls.

Long Term Mortality

Background. Thyroid hormones (TH) are crucial for cardiovascular homeostasis. Recent evidence suggests that acute cardiovascular conditions, particularly acute heart failure (AHF), significantly impair the thyroid axis. Our aim was to evaluate the association of thyroid function with cardiovascular parameters and short- and long-term clinical outcomes in AHF patients. Methods. We performed a single-centre retrospective cohort study including patients hospitalized for AHF between January 2012 and December 2017. We used linear, logistic, and Cox proportional hazard regression models to analyse the association of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4) with inpatient cardiovascular parameters, in-hospital mortality, short-term adverse clinical outcomes, and long-term mortality. Two models were used: (1) unadjusted, and (2) adjusted for age and sex. Results. Of the 235 patients included, 59% were female, and the mean age was 77.5 (SD 10.4) years. In the adjusted model, diastolic blood pressure was positively associated with TSH [β = 2.68 (0.27 to 5.09); p = 0.030 ]; left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) was negatively associated with FT4 [β = -24.85 (-47.87 to -1.82); p = 0.035 ]; and a nonsignificant trend for a positive association was found between 30-day all-cause mortality and FT4 [OR = 3.40 (0.90 to 12.83); p = 0.071 ]. Among euthyroid participants, higher FT4 levels were significantly associated with a higher odds of 30-day all-cause death [OR = 4.40 (1.06 to 18.16); p = 0.041 ]. Neither TSH nor FT4 levels were relevant predictors of long-term mortality in the adjusted model. Conclusions. Thyroid function in AHF patients is associated with blood pressure and LVEF during hospitalization. FT4 might be useful as a biomarker of short-term adverse outcomes in these patients.
