A Prospective Study

In the treatment of hypertension, an important role is played by the modification of the lifestyle of patients, especially the correction of their diet. Plant nutrition has the ability to improve blood pressure in such patients. However, a large number of types of vegetarian diets leave open the question of which of them is the best in the treatment of arterial hypertension.The aim of the study was to analyze the literature on the effectiveness of different plant-based diets in the treatment of hypertension and to determine whether the complete absence of animal products in a vegetarian diet is necessary to achieve a significant beneficial effect on blood pressure. The paper analyzes the data of many scientific studies and meta-analyses: the team of scientists from the University of Warwick; Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) research group; a prospective study of coronary risk in young adults (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults, CARDIA); analysis of three prospective cohorts - Nurses 'Health Study I (NHS I), Nurses' Health Study II (NHS II), and Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS); calibration sub-study Adventist Health Study-2 (AHS-2). The most common plant-based diets and their effect on blood pressure were analyzed: high-fruit and vegetable diet, high-fiber diet, Nordic, lacto-ovo-vegetarian, Mediterranean, vegan and DASH diets. All scientists confirm a positive correlation between the consumption of animal meat and the risk of developing hypertension and/or difficulties in its treatment.Conclusion. The study of literature data allows us to conclude about the important role of plant foods in the prevention and treatment of hypertension. The best results in lowering blood pressure were demonstrated by diets with a complete absence of animal products.

In low-income minority communities, there is high prevalence and clustering of obesity, coronary heart disease, dyslipidemia, hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Evidence suggests one way to treat and prevent these conditions is through a very low-fat, high fiber, vegetarian diet. A feasibility study was conducted to determine whether inner-city African American and Latino patients will accept a low-fat vegetarian diet and to assess attitudes about the life-style intervention. Reductions in fat and animal products were acceptable, though complete conversion to vegetarianism was not. Meanwhile, group support was the most highly rated component of the class. Contrary to common perceptions of immigrants needing to maintain traditional habits, the Latino participants enthusiastically adopted new concepts and incorporated new recipes into their diet. Weight loss was achieved during the 8 week course and continued through 18 month follow-up. It appears that individual empowerment through the group intervention, coupled with simple diet messages, supported life-style change in a high-risk group.

Meta Analyses

Introduction: As of now, no study has combined research from different sciences to determine the most suitable diet for humans. This issue is urgent due to the predicted population growth, the effect of this on the environment, and the deterioration of human health and associated costs. Methods: A literature review determined whether an optimal diet for humans exists and what such a diet is, followed by six meta-analyses. The standard criteria for conducting meta-analyses of observational studies were followed. A review of literature reporting Hazard Ratios with a 95% confidence interval for red meat intake, dairy intake, plant-based diet, fiber intake, and serum IGF-1 levels were extracted to calculate effect sizes. Results: Results calculated using NCSS software show that high meat consumption increases mortality probability by 18% on average and increases diabetes risk by 50%. Plant-based and high-fiber diets decrease mortality by 15% and 20% respectively (p < .001). Plant-based diets decreased diabetes risk by 27%, and dairy consumption (measured by increased IGF-1 levels) increased cancer probability by 48% (p < 0.01). A vegetarian or Mediterranean diet was not found to decrease the probability of heart disease. A vegetarian diet can be healthy or not, depending on the foods consumed. A Mediterranean diet with high quantities of meat and dairy products will not produce the health effects desired. The main limitations of the study were that observational studies were heterogeneous and limited by potential confounders. Discussion: The literature and meta-analyses point to an optimal diet for humans that has followed our species from the beginnings of humankind. The optimal diet is a whole food, high fiber, low-fat, 90+% plant-based diet. This diet allowed humans to become the most developed species on Earth. To ensure people’s nutritional needs are met healthily and sustainably, governmental dietary interventions are necessary.

Many dietary and lifestyle factors are found to be associated with the pathogenesis of IBD. The purpose of this study is to review the dietary and lifestyle factors associated with IBD. Several studies in IBD were discussed, and highlighted the independent effects of various dietary and lifestyle factors on the risk of IBD. IBD is chronic relapsing intestinal inflammatory disease characterized by complex interactions of multiple factors including smoking, major life stressors, diet and lifestyle.  This paper attempts to investigate the association between dietary patterns and IBD risk and compare lifestyle factors among IBD patients. Dietary factors tend to play a pivotal role in the disease etiopathogenesis and course. However, research on food and IBD is contradictory. An excessive intake of sugar and animal fat is considered a risk factor for the development of IBD, whereas a high fiber diet and high intake of fruits and vegetables may play a protective effect.  The role of lifestyle factors in IBD is crucial. Amply of evidence suggested that smoking is a causative agent in CD while it is protective against UC. Stress, depression, vitamin D deficiency and impaired sleep have all been all associated with incident IBD. A diet with a modified carbohydrate composition, a semi-vegetarian diet, a diet low in protein and fat and a diet low in fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols should be taken into consideration for IBD patients.

Abstract Objectives High-fiber dietary patterns are associated with cardiovascular health and intestinal microbiome composition. Caregivers influence diets of children, affecting dyadic health and microbiomes. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the relationship between changes in caregiver diet quality and caregiver and child: 1) systolic blood pressure (SBP) and 2) fecal bacteriome composition. Methods Caregiver-child (age 8–9 years) dyads were randomized to either a 10-week high-fiber diet intervention (fruits, vegetables, and whole grains) or control. Caregiver diet quality (30-day FFQs and Healthy Eating Index (HEI)), and caregiver and child SBP and fecal samples were collected pre- and post-intervention. Fecal bacteriomes were analyzed via 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. HEI and SBP were tested via 2-way ANOVA. Bacteriome differentials (i.e., ratio of amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) with related relative abundances) associated with HEI were identified via Songbird and Qurro. Caregiver HEI was used to guide differential assembly in caregiver bacteriomes and as a proxy for child diet quality to guide differential assembly in child bacteriomes. Pearson correlations assessed inter-data relationships. Results Complete data were collected from 19 caregivers and 16 children. Intervention caregivers increased total (T) HEI (+4.4 vs − 1.7 points, P = 0.047) and whole grain (WG) HEI component scores (+1.7 vs 0 points, P = 0.014) compared to control. WG-HEI was correlated with caregiver SBP (r = −0.37, P = 0.046). T-HEI was correlated with caregiver and child T-HEI bacteriome differentials (r = 0.36, P = 0.027 and r = 0.57, P = 0.001). WG-HEI correlated with caregiver and child WG-HEI bacteriome differentials (r = 0.45, P = 0.013 and r = 0.60, P &lt; 0.001). Child WG-HEI differential correlated with child SBP (r = −0.46, P = 0.01). Five ASVs were shared between caregiver and child T-HEI bacteriome differentials, implying shared bacterial responses to intervention. Conclusions A high-fiber dietary intervention positively impacts diet quality and is related to changes in SBP and bacteriome composition in caregiver-child dyads. Metabolites derived from bacterial metabolism of dietary fiber should be investigated for their role in blood pressure. Funding Sources USDA NIFA, Nationwide Children's Hospital.
