Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic preposition that leads to diseases mostly in the lungs in children and young adults.
Most cases of CF has been found to cause persistent infection in the lungs, leading to the destruction of lung tissues and reduced lung function, depending on the severity of the condition.
Most common complication of CF is difficulty digesting fats, proteins and nutrient absorption, progressive lung damage caused by ongoing infections and chronic low-grade inflammation and CF-related diabetes.
According to statistics provided by the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, approximately 1 in every 3,600 children born in Canada has CF.
In age perspective,
* 60% of patients are diagnosed in the first year of life, and 90% by 10 years of age.
* More than 47% of all Canadians with CF are over the age of 18 years.
* As of 2002, the median age of survival of Canadians with CF is 37 years of age.
The most common symptoms of CF are persistent cough with productive thick mucous, wheezing and shortness of breath, frequent chest infections, weight loss or failure to gain weight, infertility in men and decreased fertility in women.
Conventionally, as of today, there is no cure for CF. Medications are focusing on reducing symptoms and improving quality of life, including
* Antibiotics for the treatment of lung infections.
* Anti-inflammatory medications to protect the lung airways.
* Medication to reduce cough up the mucus
* Inhaled medications to keep your airways open by relaxing the muscles around your bronchial tubes
* Medication to help the digestive tract in absorbing nutrients
Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme found in pineapples (Ananas comosus) has been used in traditional medicine as an inflammatory agent and to treat 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 cystic fibrosis, researchers compared with identical capsules half-filled with mini-tablets of a new high lipase preparation in a randomized double-blind crossover study in children with cystic fibrosis.
All children who participated in the study received his/her usual number of capsules and the same dose of lipase during each period of the study.
According to the results from the 18 children who completed the study, the pancreatic enzyme applied in the high lipase preparation showed fewer gastrointestinal symptoms compared to the low lipase group.
Compared to the baseline, the pancreatic enzyme group showed a significant improvement in fat absorption and reduction in fecal fat output.
Fecal energy loss was also improved in the treatment group.
Based on the findings, researchers at the St James's Hospital wrote, " (The) half filled capsules of the new high lipase preparation are more effective than the standard preparation and it is likely that filled capsules would allow patients to use fewer than half the number of pancreatic enzyme capsules".
Taken altogether, bromelain may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of symptoms of cystic fibrosis, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of bromelain in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Herbal Coltsfoot Improves Asthmatic Symptoms
Respiratory disease is medical conditions that affect the breathing organ and tissues including Inflammatory lung disease, obstructive lung diseases, restrictive lung diseases, respiratory tract infections, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, the nerves, and muscles breathing,...
The most common symptom of respiratory disease is shortness of breath.
The lungs formed part of the respiratory symptoms, sare a pair of spongy, air-filled organs located on either side of the chest (thorax). The organ plays a critical role in inhaling oxygens to the body and exhaling carbon dioxide from the body.
Asthma is a medical and chronic condition characterized by the long-term inflammation of the airways of the lungs.
Most common symptoms of asthma are episodes of wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath, and reversible airflow obstruction, and bronchospasm.
Asthma attack in most cases is triggered by exposure to various irritants and substances that trigger allergies (allergens). However, genetic preposition and family history are also found in patients with asthma.
Asthma not only interferes with daily activities and also can lead to a life-threatening asthma attack. Treatment of asthma is to reduce the frequent episode and severity of the attacks.
According to the statistics provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the US, 1 in 13 people have asthma. In other words, over 26 million Americans have asthma and half of that is children.
Believe it or not, African-Americans in the U.S. die from asthma at a higher rate than people of other races or ethnicities.
Dr. Laurent Guilleminault, in the examing environmental effect in the risk asthma, said, "The rates of asthma and allergy (Type 1 hypersensitivity disorders) have been increasing worldwide for the last few decades. Various theories have been proposed to account for this alarming trend. One of these is the impact of environmental toxicants".
And, "depletion of glutathione levels (with oral supplementation of N-acetylcysteine), and enhancement of glutathione transferase function (using sulforaphane) might be therapeutic options for countering type 1 hypersensitivity disorders caused by environmental chemicals".
In other words, environmental toxins cause reduced levels of antioxidant in the body are associated with the risk of asthma onset
Coltsfoot(Tussilago farfara) is a perennial herbaceous plant, genus Tussilago, belonging to the family Asteraceae, native to Europe and Asia. The herb has been used over thousands of year to treat asthma, various coughs, bronchial congestion, respiratory disorders, headaches and obstruction in the nasal passage, etc.
On finding a potential compound for the treatment of respiratory disease, researchers examined the effect of invigorating Kidney (Viscum coloratum 15g, Psoralea corylifolia 15g, Eucommia ulmoides 15g, Lycium chinense 9g, Tussilago farfara 15g, Artemisia capillaris 9g, and Pogostemon cablin 9g as daily dosage) on asthma by measuring maximal expiratory flow-volume curve (MEFV) in the convalescent stage.
In a total of 66 cases of asthmatics were examined, researchers found that before treatment by the invigorating Kidney decoction, the results of FEV, PEF, V75, V50, V25 in 35 cases or 53.03% of the total demonstrated a significantly negative effect compared with healthy persons.
In other words, in the convalescent stage, convalescent stage, over half of the asthmatics showed obstruction of airways and chiefly of small airways.
According to the tested analysis after treatment of the decoction only exerted effects on different parameters associated with the improvement of MEFV to some extent, but also reversed the airway obstruction of asthmatics in the convalescent stage.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "the authors indicated that the prompt treatment for asthmatics in the convalescent stage was conductive early to prevent emphysema and confirmed that the treatment with Chinese herbs of chiefly invigorating Kidney deserved to be propagated.".
Taken altogether, coltsfoot used alone and combined with other herbal medicine may be considered a remedy for the treatment of asthmatics in the convalescent stage, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Fennel, the Best Functional Food to Normalizes Your Blood Cholesterol Quickly With No Side Effects
Scientists may have found a natural whole food with the potential to treat hyperlipidemia without inducing any side effects, some studies suggested.
Cholesterol, the natural ingredient produced in the liver plays an important role in stimulating the production of vitamin D, steroid hormones, and bile acids and maintaining healthy cell membranes.
Hyperlipidemia is a condition characterized by abnormally elevated levels of cholesterol in the plasma of the blood.
The causes of hyperlipidemia are unknown. However, an unhealthy diet with a lot of unsaturated fat and trans fat is associated with the early onset of the disease. Foods such as cheese egg yolks fried and processed foods and red meat have found to increase blood cholesterol, long-term intake of such foods in great amount have been found to increase the risk of hyperlipidemia, epidemiological studies found.
The Beni-Suef University, in the study to determine the development of obesity in response to a high-fat diet (HFD) an Egyptian Herbal mixture formulation (HMF), including fennel, showed, "feeding HFD diet significantly increased final body weight, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol, & LDL concentration compared with controls, while significantly decreasing HD".
Hyperlipidemia is a lifelong condition that is treatable.
Dr. Robert B. Kelly at the Fairview Hospital/Cleveland Clinic Family Medicine Residency Program in the article "The most beneficial changes result from reducing intake of saturated and trans fats; increasing intake of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats; fortifying foods with plant stanols or sterols; isocalorically adding tree nuts to the diet; consuming one or two alcoholic drinks per day; and adopting a Portfolio, Mediterranean, low-carbohydrate, or low-fat diet. Smaller but still beneficial effects result from reducing intake of dietary cholesterol, increasing intake of soluble fiber and soy protein, and eating fatty marine fish or taking marine-derived omega-3 fatty acid supplements".
Therefore by changing the diet pattern and engaging regular physical exercise are the fundamental
options that not only can prevent the onset of the condition, particularly in people who are at a higher risk of hyperlipidemia and also treat high blood cholesterol in patients who already have the condition.
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species of a genus, belonging to Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), native to the Mediterranean.
The plant has been used in traditional and herbal medicine as warming, carminative, antispasmodic, antidepressant agent and to stimulate the appetite, ease indigestion, soothe coughing, reduce intestinal spasms, to regulate the menstrual cycle, and relieve PMS.
In the study to examine the effect of the aqueous extract of fennel in the reduced risk of hyperlipidemia, researchers conducted an experiment in Triton WR-1339 induced hyperlipidemia in mice.
Mice treated with the extract at different doses displays a significant reduction of cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, and apolipoprotein-B decreased by 40%, 23%, 61%, and 61%, respectively.
Further analysis, the application also increased the levels of HDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein A1 by 85% and 58%, respectively
According to the Mashhad University of Medical Sciences which also conducted a study to assess the effects of Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) on lipid profiles, in sixty eligible postmenopausal women, randomly assigned into the fennel and placebo groups.
Measurement of total blood cholesterol, cholesterol fractions, and triglycerides was tested at the baseline, and after a three-month follow-up.
At the end of 3 months, blood profiled withdrawn from the women suggested
* There are no significant difference in triglyceride (P = 0.679), total cholesterol (P = 0.103), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C; P = 0.146) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C; P = 0.266) levels between the two groups.
* Fennel treated group demonstrates a significant borderline improvement for HDL-C and triglyceride, compared to the placebo group.
Additional differentiation of the process of the double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled trial, researchers suggested that longer durations, higher doses, and larger sample sizes are recommended to validate the results.
These results indicated that the intake of foods for the treatment of conditions or diseases must be on a long-term basis. The times of 3 months may be too short for foods to exert their potential effects.
Taken all together, fennel may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia. Intake of fennel should be increased gradually for the food to reach its antihyperlipidemic stage, a longer duration may be needed. In other words, please be patient.

Herbal Bilberry, The Best Functional Food For Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a type of noninflammatory fatty liver disease caused by fat accumulated in the liver other than excessive alcohol consumption.
People who have an accumulation of triglycerides within hepatocytes that exceeds 5% of liver weight are considered to have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
According to the statistics, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has risen rapidly over the past few decades and become the most common cause of chronic liver disease in the developing world. The disease affects between 17-30% of the population in Western countries and 2-4% worldwide.
Epidemiologically. obesity, type II diabetes, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance are the well-known primary causes of NAFLD.
The findings strongly suggested that NAFLD is a geographically related disease associated with dietary patterns.
Dr. Alanna McCarthy, the lead scientist in the examination of diet pattern in the risk NAFLD wrote, "Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a serious consequence of high-fat diet intake and currently affects approximately one-third of the world’s entire population".
And, "Recent evidence suggests that patients with NAFLD have a higher incidence of cardiovascular disease compared to the general population. However, little is known about the link between NAFLD and pathological cardiac remodeling leading to heart disease".
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.
With an aim to find natural prevention and treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), researchers investigated the effects of anthocyanin supplementation on insulin resistance and liver injury biomarkers in patients.
74 subjects with NAFLD included in the study were divided into 2 groups in this double-blind, randomized study. Patients received either purified anthocyanin (320 mg/d) derived from bilberry and black currant or placebo for 12 weeks.
During the experiment, the anthocyanin group exhibited significantly decreased in plasma alanine aminotransferase, cytokeratin-18 M30 fragment, and myeloperoxidase, the biomarkers associated with NAFLD, compared to controls.
Compared to the baseline, the anthocyanin group significantly decreased in fasting blood glucose and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance, however, these differences were not significant relative to placebo controls.
Not surprisingly, anthocyanin supplementation significantly decreased the 2-hour loading glucose level compared to control, according to the oral glucose tolerance test.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "A 12-week supplement of purified anthocyanin improved insulin resistance, indicators of liver injury, and clinical evolution in NAFLD patients".
Furthermore, according to the results from the study of ApoE(∗)3Leiden mice fed a Western-type cholesterol-containing diet without (HC) or with 0.1% (w/w) Mirtoselect (HCM), an anthocyanin-rich bilberry extract for 20weeks on diet-induced NASH, Mirtoselect treatment group showed an attenuated HC-induced hepatic steatosis and reduced hepatic cholesteryl ester content.
Furthermore, injection of Mirtoselect also exerted local anti-inflammatory effects in the liver by reduced inflammatory cell clusters and neutrophil infiltration in HCM.
In other words, HCM protected the liver against HC diet significantly induced hepatic expression of pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic genes associated with the onset of NAFLD.
Dr. Morrison MC, the lead scientist, after taking other factors into account wrote, "Mirtoselect attenuates the development of NASH, reducing hepatic lipid accumulation, inflammation, and fibrosis, possibly mediated by local anti-inflammatory effects associated with reduced accumulation and crystallization of intrahepatic free cholesterol".
Taken altogether, bilberry processed abundantly bioactive compound anthocyanin may be considered a functioning remedy for the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, pending to the validation of a larger sample size and multicenter human study.

74 subjects with NAFLD included in the study were divided into 2 groups in this double-blind, randomized study. Patients received either purified anthocyanin (320 mg/d) derived from bilberry and black currant or placebo for 12 weeks.
During the experiment, the anthocyanin group exhibited significantly decreased in plasma alanine aminotransferase, cytokeratin-18 M30 fragment, and myeloperoxidase, the biomarkers associated with NAFLD, compared to controls.
Compared to the baseline, the anthocyanin group significantly decreased in fasting blood glucose and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance, however, these differences were not significant relative to placebo controls.
Not surprisingly, anthocyanin supplementation significantly decreased the 2-hour loading glucose level compared to control, according to the oral glucose tolerance test.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "A 12-week supplement of purified anthocyanin improved insulin resistance, indicators of liver injury, and clinical evolution in NAFLD patients".
Furthermore, according to the results from the study of ApoE(∗)3Leiden mice fed a Western-type cholesterol-containing diet without (HC) or with 0.1% (w/w) Mirtoselect (HCM), an anthocyanin-rich bilberry extract for 20weeks on diet-induced NASH, Mirtoselect treatment group showed an attenuated HC-induced hepatic steatosis and reduced hepatic cholesteryl ester content.
Furthermore, injection of Mirtoselect also exerted local anti-inflammatory effects in the liver by reduced inflammatory cell clusters and neutrophil infiltration in HCM.
In other words, HCM protected the liver against HC diet significantly induced hepatic expression of pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic genes associated with the onset of NAFLD.
Dr. Morrison MC, the lead scientist, after taking other factors into account wrote, "Mirtoselect attenuates the development of NASH, reducing hepatic lipid accumulation, inflammation, and fibrosis, possibly mediated by local anti-inflammatory effects associated with reduced accumulation and crystallization of intrahepatic free cholesterol".
Taken altogether, bilberry processed abundantly bioactive compound anthocyanin may be considered a functioning remedy for the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, pending to the validation of a larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Bromelain, the Potential Treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis
Rhinosinusitis (RS) is a condition associated with the inflammation of the sinuses and nasal cavity.
Sinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses that causes a headache as a result of exposure to a cold or flu virus, or an allergic reaction to pollen, mold, dust or smoke.
Sinusitis affects 37 million people each year.
Other symptoms of RS include nasal congestion or obstruction, facial or dental pain, purulent rhinorrhea, postnasal drainage, headache, and cough.
Some patients may also experience symptoms of fever, fatigue, hyposmia, ear fullness or pressure, voice changes, epiphora, fever, and psychological effects and fatigue.
If you have some of the above symptoms that last more than 12 weeks, you may have chronic rhinosinusitis,
If you experience some of the aforementioned symptoms without a cold or flu, you may have rhinosinusitis. Conventionally, most cases of bacterial rhinosinusitis (BRS) are treated by antibiotics.
In viral rhinosinusitis (VRS), medication focus on reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.
Out of many risk factors involved in the onset of the condition, some researchers suggested that people with an immune deficiency may be vulnerable to rhinosinusitis developing.
Dr. Sergio E. Chiarella, the lead scientist wrote, "CRS is a common disease; in those patients with frequent exacerbations or who are refractory to treatment, an immunodeficiency evaluation should be considered. Treatment includes vaccination, antibiotic therapy, immunoglobulin replacement, and surgery".
More precisely, people who are using immune suppressants or weakened and immature immune systems are at an increased risk of rhinosinusitis.
Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme found in pineapples (Ananas comosus) has been used in traditional medicine as an inflammatory agent and to treat pains, strains, and muscle aches and pains and ease back pain and chronic joint pain, skin diseases, etc.
With an aim to find a natural compound for the treatment of an inflammatory condition associated with sinuses and nasal cavity, researchers examined the bromelain effects on patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).
40 patients including 20 patients were given bromelain 500 mg tablet twice daily for 30 days, and 20 controls enrolled in the study.
According to the observation in the turbinate and ethmoid mucosas and in the serum of both the groups, bromelain showed significant anti-inflammatory activity in paranasal sinus pathologies.
In other words, the efficacy of bromelain anti chronic rhinosinusitis was attributed to its function in distribution evenly in the sinuses and nasal cavity.
Taken altogether, bromelain may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of bromelain in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Herbal Angelica, Processes Anti-inflammatory Potency in Vitro
Inflammation is the natural response of the immune system macrophages, the first line of defense in stimulating the production of inflammatory cytokines to protect our body against the infection caused by foreign microorganisms during the acute phase of body damage and injury.
Truly, the main focus of inflammation is to repair damage and injury.
Most cases of infection associated with inflammation are stopped at the acute phase. The wound or injury is slowly recovered.
Acute inflammation is a natural response of the immune system to protect the human body against harmful stimuli and pathogens.
Acute information is the first phase of injection. At this phase, after sensing the body injury by the central nervous system, the immune first line of defense stimulates the production of blood platelets to the cover the site of damage and pro-inflammatory to kill off pathogens that try to enter the body through the wound or damaged tissue.
Acute inflammation usually receded after a few days or weeks depending on the size and damage.
However, people with a weakened immune system, acute inflammatory progression cannot be stopped due to the inability of the immune system to destroy all invaders, which may lead to low-grade chronic inflammation.
The most common symptoms of acute inflammation occurred with a short period of time such as hours is pain, redness, immobility, swelling, and heat.
Any inflammation that lasts more than 3 months is considered chronic inflammation.
Chronic inflammation is the result of the immune system's inability to kill off all the microorganisms participated in the acute phase of infection, leading to the forming of autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases such as RA and diabetes.
Anti-inflammation is the process that inhibits inflammation or swelling without affecting the immune property to curb foreign pathogens.
Diseases associated with chronic inflammation asthma are chronic peptic ulcer, tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and periodontitis.
On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with chronic inflammation, scientists compared the anti-inflammatory activity of Chinese herbal extracts, Drynaria baronii (DB), Angelica sinensis (AS), and Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc(CO).
Angelica or Dang Qui is a herb of Genus Angelica from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China.
The herb has been used as a Queen herb in traditional Chinese medicine antispasmodic and vasodilatory agent, and to balance the hormones in women for a normal menstrual cycle and menstruation and strengthen the heart, spleen, kidneys, and liver for both men and women, etc. In other words, it is used to treat gynecological ailments, fatigue, mild anemia, and high blood pressure. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, etc.
According to the tested analysis,
* DB, AS and CO inhibited nitric oxide (NO) production by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated mouse macrophage-like RAW264.7 cells by inhibition of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) expression at both protein and mRNA levels.
* Furthermore, DB, AS and CO dose-dependently scavenged the NO radical produced by NOC-7 (a nitric oxide (NO)).
* Moreover, DB and CO effectively inhibited the PGE(2) production by LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, although the extent of inhibition of PGE(2) production was slightly lower than that of NO production.
* More importantly, DB, AS and CO inhibited cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression involved in the initiation of inflammation at both protein and mRNA levels, compared to much lesser extents as compared with that for iNOS expression
* Finally, AS only marginally inhibited the LPS-stimulated PGE(2) production
Taken altogether, Danggui may be considered an anti-inflammatory remedy for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Cranberry, the Anti Cardiovascular Disease Remedy
Cardioprotection is an action that contributes to the protection of heart and blood vessels integrity against damage or injury, including heart diseases, and stroke.
In other words, cardioprotection is a process in which substances or medicines are used including an herbal remedy to protect heart muscle tissues against ischemic insult and deoxygenation injury.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a class of conditions associated with the dysfunction of the arteries and heart, affecting the heart functioning.
According to the statistics provided by the CDC, heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. Men are associated with 1/2 of the deaths due to heart disease in 2015 were in men, comapred to women.
Believe it or not, more than 63),000 Americans die from heart disease each year or 1 in every 4 deaths are caused by heart disease.
On another hand, stroke is a medical condition caused by poor blood flow to the brain, leading to brain cell death in the affected region.
The most common types of stroke are ischemic stroke associated with the obstruction of a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain and hemorrhagic stroke associated with small blood vessel ruptures. Most common cause of stroke is unmanaged high blood pressure.
The US statistics indicated that stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States. Each year, more than 79o,000 people suffer a stroke, including 600,000 of first attacks, and 185,000 recurrent attacks.
Coronary artery disease caused by narrowing of the arteries, heart attack, abnormal heart rhythms, or arrhythmias and stroke is the most common type of cardiovascular disease found in the Western world.
The most common symptoms of CVD include persistent fatigue, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, chest pain, and fainting.
If you have some of the aforementioned symptoms, please make sure that you check with your doctor to rule out the CVD possibility.
The exact causes of cardiovascular diseases are unidentified. However, according to epidemiological studies, the most prevalent factors that cause an increased risk of CVD are an unhealthy lifestyle correlated to the promotion of the Western diet.
Dr. Oikonomou E and colleagues in the joint study led by the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens wrote, "... Western dietary pattern (increased intake of fat, red meat, and carbohydrates and minimal consumption of fruits and green leafy vegetables) was predictive of severe CAD (area under the curve: 0.73, 95% confidence intervals: 0.64-0.83, P < .001)".
And, "an unhealthy Western type of diet is associated with the severity of coronary artery lesions in patients with stable CAD. These findings highlight the role of dietary patterns when estimating cardiovascular risk for the management of patients with CAD".
The results strongly suggested by lifestyle change have a strong implication in the prevention of CVD.
Cranberry is an evergreen dwarf shrub, genus Vaccinium, belongings to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern America and Southern Asia. Because of its health benefits, cranberry has been cultivated in some parts of the world for commercial profit and used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat wounds, urinary disorders, diarrhea, diabetes, stomach ailments, and liver problems.
On finding a potential compound for the treatment of heart disease and stroke, researchers examined the efficacy of cranberry supplementation on cardiovascular disease metabolic risk factors in adult populations.
The systematic review is conducted by searching the databases of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar up to June 2018, to identify randomized controlled trials investigating the effect of cranberry supplementation on cardiovascular metabolic risk factors.
According to the results from the review of the pooled effect size, cranberry administration decreased the risk of CVD by significantly reducing systolic blood pressure and body mass index.
However, other parameters associated with the metabolic risks such as triacylglycerol, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, fasting plasma glucose, fasting insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, diastolic blood pressure, waist circumference, C-reactive protein, and intercellular adhesion molecule were not changed much after cranberry administration.
Furthermore, the most reduction of SBP was more pronounced in patients with age ≥50 comapred to the younger age group.
Moreover, comapred to no change in supplemental administration, there was also a significant increase in high-density lipoprotein concentrations in subgroups with subjects <50 mean age and triacylglycerol levels in subsets with cranberry administered in juice form.
Based on the findings, researchers concluded. " cranberry supplementation may be effective in managing systolic blood pressure, body mass index and high-density lipoprotein in younger adults. Further high-quality studies are needed to confirm these results.".
Taken altogether, cranberry may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of CVD, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
