Regular Walking Reduces Risk of Over Weight and visceral or subcutaneous fat accumulation in Older Adults



Visceral or subcutaneous fat accumulation is fat accumulated in the abdominal area, leading to a higher risk of insulin resistance, and its concomitant metabolic disorders (the metabolic syndrome) including atherogenic dyslipidemia(1), in comparison to those with less visceral fat accumulation.

Regular physical activity has long been found to associate to the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic diseases, but the regular walking contribution of reduced risk of visceral or subcutaneous fat accumulation in the younger and older elderly have been lacking, probably due to its association to the complication of obesity(2).


The study of a total of 173 sedentary, overweight (body mass index > or =24.0 and >33% body fat), postmenopausal women aged 50 to 75 years who were living in the Seattle, Wash, area, suggested, Walking reduced body weight and body fat among overweight and obese postmenopausal women, as it was the most frequently reported activity in the group(3).

Dr. Lynch NA and colleagues at the University of Maryland School of Medicine insisted that walking not only is associated with greater reductions in visceral adiposity in obese postmenopausal women but also improved in maximal O(2) uptake (VO(2 max)(4) of that is said to significantly improve the metabolic profile(5).

In fact, regular walking is found to reduce the risk of visceral or subcutaneous fat accumulation as it prevents the early state of weight gain.

The Okayama Southern Institute of Health in the study of Thirty one obese Japanese males (body mass index (BMI) > or = 25) ranging in age from 32 to 59, participated in a 1-year follow up study said, " intra-abdominal visceral adipose tissue is critically involved in insulin resistance and daily walking rather than improvement of exercise capacity correlated with the reduction of visceral adipose tissue in obese Japanese males."(6). As walking significantly lowers serum leptin concentrations(8), and thus it may improve the leptin resistance observed in overweight adults(7).

Herbal Bilberry Enhances the Gut Microbiota for Healthy Aging

Aging is the natural and biological process of growing older.

You can not stop the aging clock, but, you can delay the progression by taking some preventive actions, including living a healthy lifestyle accompanied by moderate exercise.

Healthy aging refers to the creation of a series of conditions that allow the aging population to live functionally without affected by serious chronic diseases or medical conditions (that are well managed).

The World Health Organization in the definition of healthy aging wrote, "healthy aging as the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables wellbeing in older age” and "Functional ability is about having the capabilities that enable all people to be and do what they have reason to value".


In other words, healthy aging must comprise all the mental and physical capacities such as the ability to walk, think, see, hear and remember, particularly in bathing, dressing, and other independent living skills, such as shopping and housework.


Dr. Ruth Elaine Nieuwenhuis-Mark in the study of healthy aging as a disease wrote, "A popular theory in the aging literature since the early 1990s is the socioemotional selectivity theory (SST; Carstensen, 1992). SST was put forward as an attempt to explain the so-called “paradox of aging” which refers to the finding that while physical health tends to decline as we age subjective well-being may be maintained or even improve (Diener and Suh, 1998)".

And, "Focusing on normal aging as a disease could, therefore, be seen as a step-back for aging research rather than a move forward. Aging-as-disease proponents would argue however that their focus is on improving quality of life in our final years, not on increasing our lifespans per se".

Bilberry is a species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern Europe.

The plant has been used as herbs in traditional medicine for the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea, gastritis, gastric ulcer, and duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, ulcerative colitis, anemia, cystitis, kidney disease, and psoriasis, diabetes, etc.

Researchers in an aim to a natural compound which processes antiaging property examined the effects of bilberry anthocyanin extract consumption in healthy aging and intestinal barrier function and digestive enzyme activity, through regulating the gut microbiota in aging rats.

The study included aging rats fed with the medium-dose bilberry anthocyanin extract (20 mg per kg bw per day) in the regulation of the intestinal function.

Consumption of the extract showed strong activity in the gut by allowing the bacteria beneficial in the intestine (Aspergillus oryzae, Lactobacillus, Bacteroides, Clostridiaceae-1, the Bacteroidales-S24-7-group, and the Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group) to grow, and inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria (Verrucomicrobia and Euryarchaeota).

However, high-dose bilberry anthocyanin extract consumption was found to induce the negative effect in alternating some intestinally beneficial bacteria.

Furthermore, bilberry anthocyanin extract consumption also decreased the activity of digestive enzymes in breaking down food correlated to the changes in bacterial composition, short-chain fatty acids and the intestinal mucosal barrier.

In other words, bilberry anthocyanin extract consumption improved the digestive function without affecting the digestive enzymes activity which has been found in low levels in people with the digestive problem including the aging population.

Dr. Li J, the lead scientists said, " bilberry anthocyanin extract consumption is a potential approach for assisting healthy aging".

The finding suggested that bilberry anthocyanin extract has a significant anti-aging effect by optimizing the function of the digestive system through wide range mechanisms, including bacterial composition.

Taken altogether, bilberry processed abundantly bioactive compound anthocyanin may be considered an anti-aging remedy, pending to the confirmation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Regular Walking Reduces Risk and Complications of Hypertension in Older Adults

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood. High blood pressure means raising the pressure in your heart. If it stays high over time it can damage the body in many ways.

Blood pressure medications have undoubtedly prevented many deaths from heart disease in the past 30 years, but they have many side effects such as damaging the kidney. If you can control your diet, such as making changes to lifestyle, maintaining ideal weight and diet with low salt, you could do just fine without the drugs. According to the UT Southwestern Medical Center, prevalent users of high blood pressure medications were recovered after a long term of maximal exercise(1).

But there is a concern of experts in the discontinued intake of medication contributed to risks of macrovascular events, microvascular events together and separately and all-cause mortality(2).


The 2008 joint study of a total of 4294773 patients diagnosed with hypertension and subsequently prescribed anti-hypertensive medications led by the University College of Medicine, suggested the importance of medication adherence (MA) and the incidence of complications in patients with newly diagnosed hypertension because of its highly prevalent rate of complications(4).

Regular physical activity has long been found to associate to the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic diseases, but the regular walking contribution of reduced risk and complications of hypertension in the younger and older elderly have been lacking, probably due to the effectiveness of modern medication in the syndrome of controlling (3).

Does regular walking reduce the risk of hypertension?
Dr. Okura T and colleagues at the Ehime University Graduate School of Medicine insisted, regular physical activity (PA), including daily walking, not only reduces the risk of many chronic diseases, especially hypertension" but also induces the controlled BP in hypertensive patients."(5).

The review of 2246 citations; 26 studies with a total of 2767 participants also suggested that the use of a pedometer is associated with significant increases in physical activity and significant decreases in body mass index and blood pressure(6).


Does regular walking reduce risk of hypertension complications?

A randomized controlled trial (RCT) led by the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA showed that a culturally-tailored community-based walking reduces stroke risk by increasing physical activity among African American, Latino, Chinese, and Korean seniors with hypertension(7).


Dr. Pugh D said, " regular exercise can produce up to a 30% reduction in all-cause mortality with a 35% lower risk of cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and stroke" and "There is evidence to show that 37% of CHD deaths can be attributed to physical inactivity compared with 19% and 13% for smoking hypertension respectively"(8).

Taking all together, there is strong evidence to suggest that regular walking Reduces Risk and Complications of Hypertension patients with or without syndrome of hypertension, particular in Older Adults populations.

Bromelain Protects the Inner Lining of Colon Against Colitis

Colitis is a medical condition associated with the inflammation of the inner lining of the colon.

The causes of colitis can be results of infection, inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, ischemic colitis, allergic reactions, and microscopic colitis.

Most common systems of colitis are total depending on the types of condition, including abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, with or without blood in the stool.

Some patients with colitis also experience symptoms of fever, chills, fatigue, dehydration, eye inflammation.

If you have some of the aforementioned symptoms, please check with your doctor to rule out the possibility.

According to the statistics, in the US, 1.6 million Americans are living with inflammatory bowel disease, about 907,000 of them have ulcerative colitis.


Also, according to the study by the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, the most common types of colitis include
* Microscopic colitis is an inflammation of the large intestine (colon) that causes persistent watery diarrhea.

* Ischemic colitis is inflammation and injury of the large intestine that results from the inadequate blood supply.

* Segmental colitis is an inflammation of the colonic luminal mucosa.

* Radiation enteritis is inflammation of the intestines caused by radiotherapy.

* Diversion colitis is an inflammation of the colon associated with the complication of ileostomy or colostomy.

Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme found in pineapples (Ananas comosus) has been used in traditional medicine as an inflammatory agent and for the treatment of pains, strains, and muscle aches and pains and ease back pain and chronic joint pain, skin diseases, etc.

On finding a natural compound for the treatment of colitis, researchers examined whether long-term dietary supplementation with pineapple (supplied as juice) could decrease colon inflammation in neoplasia in Il10(-/-) mice with chronic colitis, compared to bromelain derived from the stem.

The experiment included colitis Il10(-/-) mice induced by exposure to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug piroxicam followed by supplemented with fresh vs. boiled pineapple juice or bromelain purified (14 mg bromelain) from the stem for up to 6 months.

During the study, daily treatment of fresh juice had a decreased histologic colon inflammation scores and a lower incidence of inflammation scores, compared to those treated with bromelain purified (14 mg bromelain).

Futhermore, both treatments showed fewer neoplastic lesions/colon. However, fresh juice lower incidence of inflammation-associated colonic neoplasia by 35% compared to 66% of those treated with bromelain purified (14 mg bromelain).

According to the flow cytometric analysis of murine splenocytes in vitro, fresh pineapple juice demonstrated a proteolytic removal of cell surface molecules that can affect leukocyte trafficking and activation, compared to those treated with bromelain purified.

The finding strongly supported the long-term use of pineapple juice with proteolytically active bromelain enzymes for the treatment of inflammatory induction of colitis.

Dr. Hale LP, the lead scientist wrote in the final report, "long-term dietary supplementation with fresh or unpasteurized frozen pineapple juice with proteolytically active bromelain enzymes is safe and decreases inflammation severity and the incidence and multiplicity of inflammation-associated colonic neoplasia in this commonly used murine model of inflammatory bowel disease".

Taken altogether, pineapple (supplied as juice) processed a high amount of bioactive compound bromelain may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of colitis, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of bromelain in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Regular Walking Reduces Symptoms and Risk of Gout in Population of 50plus

Regular physical activity has long been found to associate to the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic diseases, but regular walking contribution of health benefits of reduced symptoms of Gout in the younger and older elderly have been lacking, due to caregivers and physicians prefer to emphasize, in most cases in reduced pain by prescribed medicine and intake of foods with rich of purines(4).

A Delphi exercise conducted by the University of Otago suggested that both physicians and patients agreed upon several key features of gout, including severity, functional results, and idiographic perception and patterns of symptoms(1).

Dr. Stewart S and colleagues at the joint study led by the Auckland University of Technology indicated the importance of footwear worn as walking shoes with good footwear characteristics can influence plantar pressure values and encourage a more efficient heel to toe gait pattern in people with gout(2)

The National Kidney foundation reminded, "some people with gout do not have high uric acid levels, so it is very important to maintain a healthy lifestyle no matter the level. Do not smoke, follow a well-balanced diet, maintain a healthy weight, and exercise"(5).

In fact, according to 2008 American Society for Clinical Nutrition, the risk of gout is lower in men who are more physically active, maintain ideal body weight, and consume diets enriched in fruit and limited in meat and alcohol(3). Unfortunately, exercise, including walking during a gout attack will worsen the condition by inducing more pain and lengthening the inflammation.

“Exercises to relieve gout should be done steady and cautiously as to avoid further irritation to the joints. The best exercises for gout are a range of motion types: strength training, stretching and building endurance. Yoga is an exercise that incorporates all four; however, there are other exercises that can be done individually also” According to the article of How to Exercise If You Have Gout(6).

Whole Food Honey Speeds Up Wound Healing

The wound can be internal or external. It is a cut or open of skin or injury of tissues caused by the physical impacts.

Human all have the experience of an open wound at some point in their life. Most wounds are minor. However, if the opening wound that lasts more than 20 minutes and causes a loss of a large pool of blood can be an emergency.

Wounds can be classified into 4 types
* An abrasion is a wound caused by rubbing or scraping the skin against a rough or hard surface.

* A laceration is a cut or tearing of your skin in most cases caused by knives, tools accidentally.

* Puncture is a hole caused by a sharp object, due to its strong impact, puncture has been found to induce tissue damage

* An avulsion is the most serious case of wound that induces a partial or complete tearing away of skin and the tissue beneath.

Not all wounds are the same if the wound cause bleeding longer than 20 minutes and deeper than 1/2 inches, you have to go to the emergency right the way.

In some cases, longer wound bleeding is also associated with the intake of certain medications such as blood thinner.

Treatment of a wound in conventional medicine is to reduce pain and prevent infection. Do not expect the doctor to provide you with medicine that speeds up the wound healing.

Honey, the rich golden liquid is the miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers.

The liquid is considered one of the healthy food for replacing the use of white sugar and artificial sweetener by many people.

On finding natural products for speed-up wound healing, researchers examined the honey in the contribution to its beneficial properties, especially in the wound healing process.

Stingless bee honey exerted a significant activity in breaking down the chain of free radicals that cause a detrimental effect to the wounded area through its antioxidant property.
The stingless bee honey sped up wound healing by protecting the wound against bacterial contamination through its antimicrobial property.

Furthermore, the tested honey also protected the wound dealing process by inhibiting the inflammation induced cytotoxicity.


Moreover, the tested honey promoted angiogenesis and oxygen circulation by its moisturizing properties.
Based on the results, researchers wrote, "The application of honey to the wound has been widely used since ancient times. As a result, it is essential to understand the pharmacological mechanism of the honey towards the physiology of the wounded skin in order to optimize the healing rate in the future".

Additionally, in order to learn more information about honey wound healing effects, researchers evaluated the effects of honey in the healing of skin wounds and particularly chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers.

Amongst the five tested honey, BL1 and BL5 honey showed the most promising healing properties due to the presence of flavanol that is already known to possess interesting biological activities.

Taken altogether, honey processed a high amount of flavanol may be considered a functional remedies for the promotion of wound healing with no side effects, pending to the confirmation of large sample size and multicenter human study.

Whole Food Ginger, the Stroke Prevention Functional Remedy


Stroke is a medical condition characterized by the death of brain cells as a result of inadequate of oxygen-rich blood flow.

In other words, stroke can be caused by either ischemia, due to lack of blood flow or hemorrhagia, due to bleeding.

A stroke is a medical emergency. Early intervention in most cases can minimize brain damage and potential complications.

According to the statistics, in the US, stroke is the leading cause of serious, long-term disability.
Each year, approximately 795,000 people suffer a stroke and recurrent stroke. Most cases of stroke are associated with adults over the age of 65.

Not all strokes can lead to permanent brain damage. Some people with a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain do not result in permanent damage.

Besides aging, smoking, medical conditions such as unmanaged high blood pressure and cholesterol and diabetes, obesity, physical inactivity are some of the prevalent factors found in stroke patients.


Some researchers suggested a poor diet pattern such as the Western diet may have a strong impact in elevated the risk of stroke in the Western world.

Dr. Sherzai A, the lead scientist wrote, " Stroke is the fourth leading cause of mortality in the United States, yet it is 80% preventable by addressing lifestyle factors including nutrition".


And, "Adherence to DASH, Mediterranean, and prudent dietary patterns reduced the risk of stroke, whereas the Western dietary pattern was associated with increased stroke risk".

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) or ginger root, the second superfood used for thousands of years by mankind, is the genus Zingiber, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to Tamil.

The root has been used in traditional and Chinese medicine for the treatment of dyspepsia, gastroparesis, constipation, edema, difficult urination, colic, etc.

With an aim to find a natural whole food for reducing the risk of stroke researchers examined the effects of ginger in the risk of stroke.

Three candidates from the ginger family identified based on the prediction models in the study were compared to those of the control inhibitor L-454560.

PDE4D inhibitor is a potential drug target used in stroke prevention.

Administration of 3 compounds identified from the ginger family was capable in inhibiting cAMP binding associated with the increase of stroke risk, similar to those of PDE4D.

Genetic polymorphisms of PDE4D (T83C, C87T, and C45T) gene is associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke (IS).

Genetic polymorphisms of ALOX5AP are also associated with ischemic stroke and atherothrombotic events in stroke patients.

In order to reveal more information about ginger anti-stroke risk activity, researchers examined the ginger on the activities of phosphodiesterase 4D (PDE4D) and 5-Lipoxygenase activating protein (ALOX5AP), the two of the major factors involved in the ischemic stroke, accounting for around 80-85% of total stroke.


Injection of ginger not only modulated the expression of PDE4D activities against the activation of cAMP-induced stroke and cardiovascular diseases but also inhibited the overexpression of ALOX5AP that could induce the development of atherosclerosis and stroke through inflammatory pathways.

Take all together, ginger may be considered a functional alternative for the prevention of stroke, pending to the confirmation of large sample size and multicenter human study.
