Selenium is an essential macronutrient, and is considered to be an antioxidant. High levels of selenium have been inversely associated with risk of developing several cancers, including bladder, prostate and thryroid.
High selenium intake could have a beneficial effect on bladder cancer risk, according new research.
A significant protective effect for selenium was seen mainly among women. The researchers suggest this may result from gender-specific differences in selenium accumulation and excretion.
The researchers suggest further research is needed in to the relationship between selenium and bladder cancer, focusing especially on the dose-response relationship.
Beta-1, 3 glucans are being referred to as biological response modifiers because of their ability to activate the immune system. In addition to enhancing the activity of macrophages, beta-1, 3 glucans also reportedly lower elevated levels of LDL cholesterol, aid in wound healing, help prevent infections, and help in the prevention and treatment of cancer.
Evaluation of beta-glucan and its effectiveness with relieving symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections was conducted in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study. The researchers recruited 150 moderate to highly stressed individuals aged 18 to 65 years. The subjects were administered either 500 mg beta-glucan or 250 mg placebo daily for a 4 week treatment period. The outcome was both groups experienced fewer symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections, feeling healthier, increased energy, and less tension, fatigue and confusion. In conclusion, beta-glucan may prevent upper respiratory tract infections, improve overall health and improve psychological well being.1
Naringenin, an antioxidant derived from the bitter flavor of grapefruits and other citrus fruits, may cause the liver to break down fat while increasing insulin sensitivity, a process that naturally occurs during long periods of fasting.
A team of researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) report that naringenin activates a family of small proteins, called nuclear receptors, causing the liver to break down fatty acids. In fact, the compound seems to mimic the actions of other drugs, such as the lipid-lowering Fenofibrate and the anti-diabetic Rosiglitazone, offering the advantages of both. If the results of this study extend to human patients, this dietary supplement could become a staple in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, type-2 diabetes, and perhaps metabolic syndrome.
It is estimated that one billion people worldwide do not have sufficient vitamin D. This deficiency is thought to be largely due to insufficient exposure to the sun and in some cases to poor diet. As well as being a well-known risk factor for rickets, there is a growing body of evidence that vitamin D deficiency also increases an individual’s susceptibility to autoimmune conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes, as well as certain cancers and even dementia.
The extent to which vitamin D deficiency may increase susceptibility to a wide range of diseases is dramatically highlighted in newly published research. Scientists have mapped the points at which vitamin D interacts with our DNA — and identified over two hundred genes that it directly influences.
Research from the University of Exeter has revealed taking a dietary supplement to boost nitric oxide in the body can significantly boost stamina during high-intensity exercise.
The study has important implications for athletes, as results suggest that taking the supplement can allow people to exercise up to 20% longer and could produce a 1-2% improvement in race times.
