Study shows that the sweet protein Brazzein could help reduce blood sugar spikes caused by eating ice cream. A new study has shown how the sweet protein brazzein could help reduce blood sugar spikes, the Science Alert news outlet reported.

Sophie Medlin is a colorectal dietitian. Sophie Medlin knows what it takes to keep a gut healthy. At this point, it's nearly second nature for the longtime colorectal dietitian. "I don't need to worry about counting because I'm just in the habit of doing things in a way that meets my needs," Medlin, who is based in London and has worked as a dietitian for 20 years, told Business Insider. Official dietary guidelines recommend eating at least 28 grams of fiber a day, but research suggests the majority of Americans eat around half of that. Fiber is found in plants and feeds the trillions of microbes that live in the lining of the digestive system, known as the gut microbiome. Eating a wide variety of plants increases the number of beneficial microbes in the gut, which is linked to health benefits. Whole grains such as brown rice, quinoa, and pearl barley, legumes such as beans and chickpeas, and fresh produce such as leafy greens and berries, are all good sources of fiber.

AbstractNext-generation internet technologies, represented by artificial intelligence, are reshaping the nationwide health information distribution system; this study examines the synergistic benefit effect of online health communication on health promotion. The analysis utilizes 5,333 data points from the 2023 China General Social Survey (CGSS), which employed a nationally stratified, multi-stage sampling design. Using the Hayes PROCESS Model 6 serial chain mediation model, 2,000 bias-correction Bootstrap samples were generated to conduct baseline OLS regression, mediation effect decomposition, multidimensional heterogeneity analysis, and an IPW inverse probability weighting robustness test. The baseline OLS regression reveals a significant positive overall association between online health communication and health promotion. The chain mediation model identified three indirect pathways: a single health literacy mediation pathway, a single digital health education mediation pathway, and a core serial synergistic pathway (“Online Health Communication → Health Literacy → Digital Health Education → Health Promotion”); the confidence intervals for all three pathways do not include zero

Parliamentary State Secretary Georg Kippels, World Health Summit President Professor Dr Axel Pries, World Health Summit CEO Carsten Schicker, Charité CEO Professor Dr Heyo Kroemer, President of the Robert Koch Institute, Professor Lars Schaade, Excellencies, dear colleagues and friends, Guten Abend! It’s an honour to be here. In our troubled and divided world, it is always a joy to be among friends, and especially friends from the global health family. So I thank Germany and the World Health Summit for bringing our family together. I also thank Germany for its long and strong support for global health and WHO. Nothing symbolizes that support more than the fact that Germany hosts part of WHO right here in Berlin: the WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence. The story of the Hub began on 23 October 2020, at the height of the pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic, with an urgent Zoom call with Chancellor Angela Merkel. Our conversation centred on a fundamental truth: viruses move fast, but health data must move even faster. One of the key lessons of the pandemic was the need to strengthen the world’s ability to detect threats faster. The WHO Hub is the answer to that lesson.
