Investigación descubre que el huevo ayuda a estar atento


Un estudio norteamericano analizó como los nutrientes de los alimentos actúan en el cerebro, descubriendo que una proteína presente en la clara de huevo ayuda a estar alerta.

Científicos descubrieron que las proteínas del huevo, específicamente aquellas que están en la clara, ayudan a estar atento y dejan a la persona alerta. Las sustancias son más eficaces que los carbohidratos presentes en dulces y galletas, según informaciones de Daily Mail.

Los investigadores de la Universidad de Cambridge analizaron cómo los nutrientes actúan en las células del cerebro que nos mantienen despiertos y quemando calorías. La proteína de la clara de huevo actúa en esas células liberando el estimulante conocido como orexina. El azúcar entre tanto bloquea la liberación de esta sustancia.

"Lo que es más emocionante es tener una forma para 'sintonizar' las células del cerebro, y hacerlas más o menos activas al comer ciertos alimentos" dijo el especialista Denis Burdakov.

Recientemente, investigadores de la Fundación Británica de Nutrición, cofinanciados por empresas avícolas, concluyeron que el tipo de colesterol encontrado en los huevos tiene un efecto mínimo sobre el aumento y riesgo de cardiopatías.

Brain health. Promising prebiotics and probiotics combination

According to new research, the bacteria in our gut, known as gut microbiota, play an important role in brain injury and healing after a stroke. Taking particular types of prebiotics and probiotics can help with brain injury, inflammation, gut bacteria imbalances, and intestinal health. However, we still don't know whether prebiotics, probiotics, or synbiotics (a combination of both) perform best for particular conditions, or how they operate. In this study, scientists tested a new synbiotic formulation containing multiple strains of probiotics Lactobacillus reuteri UBLRu-87 Lactobacillus plantarum UBLP-40 Lactobacillus rhamnosus UBLR-58 Lactobacillus salivarius UBLS-22 Bifidobacterium breve UBBr-01 and prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOS)  FOS are extracted from the blue agave plant and fruits and vegetables such as bananas, onions, chicory root, garlic, asparagus, jícama, and leeks. Some grains and cereals, such as wheat and barley, also contain FOS. The Jerusalem artichoke and ...

Light Therapy holds promise as a treatment for Alzheimer's Disease

A new article, conducted by Lili Zang and colleagues from Weifang Medical University School of Nursing in Shandong Province, China, discusses a meta-analysis of 15 high-quality trials that investigated the impact of light therapy on individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The meta-analysis included 598 patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease, and it covered 15 randomized controlled trials conducted in seven different countries. Those trials were published between 2005 and 2022. Sleep Improvement Light therapy led to significant improvements in several sleep measures. It notably enhanced sleep efficiency, increased interdaily stability, and reduced intradaily variability, all of which are indicators of better sleep quality. Light therapy was associated with a reduction in agitation, depression, and caregiver burden among individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. A significant advantage over usual care was shown in reducing the severity of psychobehavioral symptoms, as assessed...
