Ultra-Processed Food Consumption and Its Role in Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome Development
This article examined the relationship between the consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) and obesity, as well as metabolic syndrome, through a systematic review approach. UPFs were known to contain salt, sugar, oils, fats, and other additives mimicking natural foods' sensory qualities. Research indicated that diets high in UPF were nutritionally unbalanced and promoted excessive consumption, which was detrimental to health. Data from various studies showed that increased UPF consumption was linked to a higher risk of obesity and related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes. Cross-sectional studies indicated that UPF consumption correlated with a higher risk of overweight in men compared to women. This research utilized diverse data sources that used methods such as semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaires and prospective analysis to evaluate this relationship. Results showed that high UPF consumption significantly contributed to obesity and metabolic disorders, affecting metabolic profiles and overall diet quality, highlighting the need for better dietary policies to mitigate the adverse impacts of ultra-processed foods
Unveiling The Vital Role of Flavonoids in Combating Bad Cholesterol: A Scientific Approach
Flavonoids are important ingredients found in herbal plants to prevent dyslipidemia. This study aimed to explore the broad potential of flavonoids in suppressing bad cholesterol problems. The type of research conducted is to review articles appropriate to the topic of discussion. The articles we analyze have PICOS criteria, and the process is depicted in a prism diagram. We got 8 articles that discussed the role of flavonoids in limiting the production of bad cholesterol in test animals' bodies. Flavonoids that are studied are derived from several different types of plants with different dosages and compositional formulas. Hopefully, this research can be a source regarding the important role of flavonoids in cholesterol metabolism in the bod
A Review Article: The Combination of Physical Activity and Healthy Diet in Adolescents to Prevent Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder marked by hyperglycemia and caused by insulin deficiency or insulin resistance. Teenagers can be affected by diabetes mellitus as well as adults and the elderly. Disease prevention efforts are one method of reducing the risk factor. A combination of physical activity and healthy diet can help control risk factors, especially in teenagers. Purpose: for the investigation and identification of various research findings relating to the influence of physical activity and healthy diet on the prevention of diabetes mellitus in adolescents Method: a method study which we use in the form of analytical content to build a review article by identifying, reviewing, and evaluating all related research with an influence on the combination of physical activity and healthy diet in adolescents. The source of data in review articles is Google scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct with the key words "Diabetes mellitus", "Physical activity", and "healthy diet. We found 5.000 related articles using search engines as our article data source. Out of 100 articles, only 10 articles were eligible for literature review. People who don't do physical activity have a higher risk of having diabetes mellitus by 3,198 times, compared to people who do physical activity heavily every day. People who consume food processed from flour like a biscuit have a 1.198 times greater risk of having diabetes mellitus compared with people who never consume food processed from flour. Activity physically is greatly influenced by its intensity, so it will have an effect on the rate of glucose in the blood. Based on the literature review, we do show that in the age group of adolescents, prevention of diabetes mellitus can be conducted with combining physical activity with dietary pattern. This thing is related to insulin secretion, so glucose homeostasis can be more awake. Nonetheless, more research is needed to account for other diabetes risk factors, such as overweight and obesity, genetics, and a healthy lifestyle pattern
Capturing Review of Protein and Vitamin D Needs in the Elderly
Background: Aging is a complex biological process, resulting in various physiological changes, psychosocial behavior, and cognitive changes. In addition, the elderly also experience changes in protein metabolism, and vitamin D. Where protein and vitamin D are very important for the elderly to stay healthy and the body's metabolism continues to work normally. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the protein and vitamin D requirements of the elderly population and evaluate the impact of these nutritional deficiencies on their physical and cognitive health. Methods: This research uses a literature review method using relevant quantitative or qualitative methods. Results: The results of the review of 22 journals showed that 9 out of 22 journals resulted in an influence between protein and elderly health problems, while 3 journals said there was no influence. Another 7 journals also showed an effect of vitamin D on the health problems of the elderly, while the other 3 journals showed no effect. Conclusion: Most studies show that there is an influence between protein and vitamin D requirements on physical and cognitive health problems in the elderl
