Non-Industrialized Styled Diet Reduces Chronic Disease Risk: Study Finds
Advertisement
Researchers have found that a newly developed diet inspired by the eating habits of non-industrialized societies can significantly reduce the risk of a number of chronic diseases -- and are to share recipes with the public.
A paper published in the scientific journal Cell shows that a newly developed diet that mimics eating habits in non-industrialized communities led to significant metabolic and immunological improvements in a human intervention study. In just three weeks the diet:
Promoted weight loss
decreased bad cholesterol by 17%
reduced blood sugar by 6%
reduced C-reactive Protein (a marker of inflammation and heart disease) by 14%
The study demonstrated that the new diet entitled NiMeTM (Non-industrialized Microbiome Restore) diet enhanced short-term persistence of L. reuteri in the gut.
However, it also improved microbiome features damaged by industrialization, such as reducing pro-inflammatory bacteria and bacterial genes that degrade the mucus layer in the gut. These changes were linked to improvements in cardio metabolic markers of chronic disease risk.
