Nutrition and Hydration Week (11th to 17th March) serves as a crucial reminder of the pivotal role nutrition plays in our overall health and well-being. It’s a time to reflect on our dietary habits and make positive changes towards a healthier lifestyle. At Nutrition Network (NN), we are committed to empowering individuals with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed choices about their nutrition.
Our platform is an online, accredited education, connection, and learning platform founded by The Noakes Foundation in partnership with an esteemed team of doctors and scientists. It has been designed for healthcare practitioners across all disciplines, covering the latest science and research in the field of Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction (TCR).
The purpose of Nutrition Network is to actively share the knowledge, research, analysis, and practical skills that already exist in the area of TCR with those wanting to learn more and implement these strategies into their clinical or professional practice.
In an article, The Effect of a Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction Diet on Serum Concentrations of High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes published in the journal Metabolic Syndrome and Related Disorders, investigated the effects of a therapeutic carbohydrate restriction diet on serum concentrations of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in patients with type 2 diabetes. The researchers found that the diet led to a significant reduction in hs-CRP levels, suggesting an improvement in systemic inflammation.
This Nutrition and Hydration Week, we want to emphasize the transformative power of informed nutrition choices. It’s a time to reflect on the impact our diets have on our health and well-being, and to empower ourselves with knowledge that can lead to positive change.
By understanding the role of TCR in managing conditions like diabetes, improving metabolic health, and implementing evidence-based nutrition practices, we can make informed decisions that support our health goals.
In another article on Effects of a 6-Month Therapeutic Lifestyle Change Program on HDL Subclasses and HDL-Associated Enzymes in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome published in the journal Lipids, investigated the effects of a 6-month therapeutic lifestyle change program, including dietary carbohydrate restriction, on HDL subclasses and HDL-associated enzymes in patients with metabolic syndrome. The researchers found that the program led to favorable changes in HDL subclasses and HDL-associated enzymes, which are associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.
