Science Weekly - 23rd of December 2021

In this pre-Christmas collection of scientific papers in the fields of fitness, nutrition and exercise science, we have a handful of topics your clients might find intriguing. IBS research is progressing. More evidence supports exercise's benefits for slowing ageing and great discoveries for people at the risk of becoming diabetic.
Highlights:

  • For IBS, specific diets are less important than expected
  • How diet influences taste sensitivity and preference
  • Uncovered: Key to how exercise protects against consequences of aging
  • People with high-risk prediabetes benefit from intensive lifestyle intervention
  • How regular exercise can protect against fatty liver associated diseases
  • For some Greenlanders, eating sugar is healthy
  • Study confirms nutrient’s role in childhood blood cancer

For IBS, specific diets are less important than expected

Many IBS sufferers avoid certain types of food and often exclude gluten. However, a large new study does not show a relationship between high intake of gluten and increased IBS symptoms. The researchers did find that a certain type of carbohydrate called 'fodmaps' can aggravate intestinal problems, however, the overall results indicate that they also have less influence than previously thought.

How diet influences taste sensitivity and preference

Food choice can be regulated to mitigate nutrient deficit or excess
What you eat influences your taste for what you might want to eat next. So claims a University of California, Riverside, study performed on fruit flies. The study offers a better understanding of neurophysiological plasticity of the taste system in flies.

Uncovered: Key to how exercise protects against consequences of aging

Scientists have discovered an enzyme that is key to why exercise improves our health. The discovery opens up the possibility of drugs to promote this enzyme's activity, protecting against the consequences of aging on metabolic health.

People with high-risk prediabetes benefit from intensive lifestyle intervention

Intensive lifestyle intervention with plenty of exercise helps people with prediabetes improve their blood glucose levels over a period of years and thus delay or even prevent type 2 diabetes. In particular, individuals with prediabetes at highest risk benefited from intensive lifestyle intervention.

How regular exercise can protect against fatty liver associated diseases

Exercise not only trains the muscles but can also prevent the development of fatty liver. A new study shows which molecular adaptations, in particular of the liver mitochondria, can be observed in this process.

For some Greenlanders, eating sugar is healthy

A genetic variation among some Greenlanders makes sugar healthy -- significantly more than for most people. According to a new study, gut bacteria and a unique diet that has nourished Greenlanders for millennia have provided them with a genetic variation that offers an incredible advantage.

Study confirms nutrient’s role in childhood blood cancer

Evidence suggests dietary limits may help
A molecular building block of many animal proteins, the amino acid valine, plays a key role in cancerous growth seen in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a new study shows.
