Rising Cancer Rates Among Younger Adults: The Role of Diet and Lifestyle

The notion that cancer is predominantly a disease of old age is evolving. Recent analyses indicate that in the G20 group of industrialised nations, cancer rates are increasing more rapidly among younger populations compared to older ones. This trend has been confirmed by scientists at the American Cancer Society (ACS), who found that younger generations, particularly Gen X and Millennials, are more likely to develop certain types of cancer than Baby Boomers[1]. Half of the 34 types of cancer studied...

Lifestyle and Nutrient Modulators of Neuroplasticity, Brain Health and Energy

Age Related Cognitive Decline The projected demographic shift towards a global elderly population reaching 2.1 billion by the year 2050 implies a significant escalation in the incidence of age-related disorders, which carry profound personal, social, and economic implications. This is further exacerbated by evidence linking nonpathological aging to functional deterioration in critical neural substrates underpinning cognitive faculties. Empirical research has consistently demonstrated that aging...

Lifestyle factors for the prevention and care of people with inflammatory bowel disease

Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) typically featuring chronic diarrhoea (with or without bleeding), abdominal pain, and weight loss. These affect an estimated 3.1 million adults in the USA and another 1.3 million in Europe[1],[2]. Globally, the incidence of IBD is increasing, particularly in newly industrialised countries[3]. These diseases are characterised by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. However, other symptoms...

Is it possible that the worst disease our society faces is poor lifestyle?

Let’s explore the most ubiquitous of lifestyle-related problems – obesity and metabolic dysfunction - and their relationship to the pervasive and increasingly common neurodegenerative disease, Alzheimer’s Disease (AD).[1] The most recent research to emphasise the link between morbidity, metabolic disruption and brain matter changes further qualified the intrinsic connection between blood sugar abnormalities and the sensitivity of certain neuronal tissues to neurodegeneration.[2] Metabolic dysfunction...

Akkermansia to the rescue

The connection between gut microbiota and human health is well recognised and described, yet areas of uncertainty remain. This ultimate collaboration on human health has helped scientists to explain the essential mutual dependence between humans and their gut bacteria. Gut microbiota can be choreographed through passive or active strategies. The former includes hygiene, diet, lifestyle, and environment, while the latter comprises antibiotics, pre- and probiotics. In addition, dietary constituents...

Why our immune systems are so flexible

The human immune system possesses immense individual-to-individual diversity, and also has specialised compartmentalisation[1]. (Which means many variations in response, local tissue activity, recovery and outcome on every challenge). Immunity is intrinsically variable, because it is controlled by the most polymorphic (occurring in several different forms) genes and is shaped by highly sensitive, modifiable environmental sensors that can push immunity into myriad functional configurations[2]. The...

Anti-aging Diets – do they work?

A proposed test to measure inflammation, from which an ‘inflammatory age’ may be determined has recently become available. The test involves the drawing of a blood sample and then assessing the levels of various markers of inflammation using artificial intelligence. This is then used to determine whether someone is at risk of developing age-related disorders such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease. The clock measures ‘biological age’, which takes health into consideration and can be...

Lifestyle medicine analysed – Poorly

An article in the British Journal of General Practice published online, on the 29th April 2021, sets out a mixture of support, disdain and implied ineffectiveness of the role that lifestyle medicine[1] has in the restoration and generation of human health. The direct journal response online allows only for 350 words. A fuller response is found below. Response to: Exemplary medical care or Trojan horse? An analysis of the ‘lifestyle medicine’ movement. Dr McCartney and colleagues raise numerous...

Late-Onset Dementia: a Mosaic of Prototypical Pathologies Modifiable by Diet and Lifestyle

Across the world there are chronic diseases affecting the lives of many, most of which are preventable or modifiable by appropriate lifestyle changes. Yet currently politicians are unwilling to legislate change, to force behaviours that in turn diminish the costs to the individual and to society.This will not last, vested interests in the production of foods, drugs and drinks that are in part responsible for controlling the proliferation of health decline will succumb. The cost for your neighbours...
