Read More »A recent study from Harvard Medical seems to suggest that regular consumption of tree nuts such as almonds, walnuts, Brazil nuts, pistachios and cashews as part of daily diet can reduce the mortality risk of prostate cancer. Previous studies on the subject suggested that a healthy diet and lifestyle, including the frequent consumption of nuts, can have a protective effect. Researchers found that walnuts in particular seemed to significantly lower the risk of developing a tumor. In the newest study, recently published in the British Journal of Cancer, has revealed that patients suffering from prostate cancer who consumed 1 ounce of tree nuts four to five times per week were 34 percent less likely tot die of the disease. The results come from the largest study ever conducted into the effects of a nut-rich diet on prostate cancer. For the purpose of their study, researchers followed more than 47,000 men over the course of 26 years. Out of those, 6810 incidents of prostate cancer were reported, with 4,346 men diagnosed with non-metastatic prostate cancer. Only ten percent of the patients with prostate cancer died from cardiovascular diseases over the period of the study. Researchers said this suggests that although eating nuts is not linked to being diagnosed with prostate cancer, it may still improve the overall survival rate of patients. Most of the nut-eaters involved in the US study primarily ate peanuts but the health benefits seemed to apply to any type of nut. According to the study, the ability of tree nuts to improve insulin sensitivity help to prevent insulin resistance, a condition in which the cells of the body become resistant to the hormone insulin and is believed to be involved in the development and progression of prostate cancer. Tree nuts have been associated with improved insulin sensitivity and reduced risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and total mortality. Nuts contain important nutrients such as unsaturated fats, high quality protein, vitamins (i.e., vitamin E, folate and niacin) minerals (i.e., magnesium, calcium and potassium) and phytochemicals–all of which may offer cardioprotective, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. “These findings add to the growing body of evidence showing that nuts can and should be part of a healthy diet,” states Maureen Ternus, M.S., R.D., Executive Director of the International Tree Nut Council Nutrition Research & Education Foundation (INC NREF). “During the summer months especially, tree nuts are a great, portable snack to take to the beach, on a hike, or camping,” adds Ternus. “Just 1.5 ounces of nuts per day (about 1/3 cup) can have a positive impact on health.”

The most common dosing protocol is 600 mg/day divided into two doses, with one taken in the morning with breakfast and the other in the evening. Evidence suggests that 600 mg/day is superior to lower doses for improving sleep.
Ashwagandha contains numerous bioactive compounds, namely alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, steroids, and steroidal lactones.[2] Within the steroidal lactones are withanolides, which are considered to be responsible for most of the plant’s benefits. Most of ashwagandha’s benefits are at least partly due to its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Ashwagandha can increase levels of antioxidant enzymes like glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase, while also inhibiting lipid peroxidation. For more information on mechanisms of action, including molecular targets, see the Research Breakdown section. As part of its ability to reduce stress and anxiety, ashwagandha also appears to influence the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis — which plays a central role in the stress response — as evidenced by its ability to decrease cortisol levels.[18] Furthermore, ashwagandha seems to alter the signaling of several neurotransmitters, which are dysfunctional in anxiety disorders. Its ability to enhance GABA A receptor signaling, specifically, is thought to underlie its benefits for sleep. Ashwagandha may improve endurance performance by increasing levels of hemoglobin[12] (the protein in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen to the rest of the body) but more studies are needed to confirm this effect. Ashwagandha’s ability to improve reproductive health is attributed to its antioxidative effects in combination with its ability to increase testosterone levels.[17] This effect is more notable in men with infertility and low testosterone levels, but preliminary evidence suggests ashwagandha may boost testosterone levels in healthy men as well.[5][19]
