Health, Nutrtion and Beauty Topics With Expert Advice

• ‘You Are What You Eat--’ In the beauty world this statement couldn’t be more true! “You can use all the products in the world but if you aren’t taking care of your body and feeding it properly, it can be counter productive,” says Nicole Avena, Assistant Professor of Neuroscience at Mount Sinai School of Medicine and Visiting Professor of Health Psychology at Princeton University. Speak with Dr. Avena about how eating the proper foods that promote hydration, are anti-inflammatory, and that can improve skin elasticity, can improve how your hair and skin look at feel.

• Bye-bye Summer Hair-- It’s time to take a look at what needs a refresher with our hair care routine. Correcting hair and skin damage from the sun and maintaining healthy hair into the fall doesn’t happen overnight; it takes some preparation to keep hair looking shiny and strong. Speak with NYC/Miami Hair Stylist, Lucy Garcia Planck, with ideas and tips on how to suppress summer hair damage and keep it looking shiny and healthy as we move into fall.

• Don’t be Vitamin D Deficient This Winter— Even though the sun is shining now, in a few short months it may be a while until some parts of the country go days with grey and gloomy skies. With an estimated 42% of the American population Vitamin D deficient, it leaves us wondering how much Vitamin D do our bodies need and how do we go about getting enough of it? Speak with Nicole Avena, PhD, Assistant Professor of Neuroscience, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Visiting Professor of Health Psychology, Princeton University about signs and symptoms of a Vitamin D deficiency, how much Vitamin D our bodies really need as well as the best ways to get enough on a daily basis.

• Bad Haircut? Here’s How to Fix It--Let’s be honest, haircuts aren’t always pretty. Sometimes the result comes as more of a shock to us than the overpriced bill we get afterwards. So, what do we do after our hairdresser turns us around the swivel chair, asks us “what we think” and we lie to their face saying we love it? NYC hairstylist Kali Ferrara of the Roy Teeluck Salon in Midtown East is available to speak about the best ways to fix a bad haircut, how to get your hair to grow back ASAP and ways to maintain healthy, happy hair.

• Latest and Greatest in Probiotics: Probiotics have become fairly popular in mainstream media, but do you know just how these miracle supplements work? Probiotics are living microorganisms (bacteria) that can improve the health of the gut. Since our gut is an ecosystem, and probiotics are part of that ecosystem, they are important for ensuring good digestive health. Nicole Avena, PhD, Assistant Professor of Neuroscience, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Visiting Professor of Health Psychology, Princeton University is available to discuss what exactly probiotics are/where you can find them, their benefits, and what the difference is between probiotics vs. prebiotics.

• Getting Your Best Holiday Hair: Holiday parties are just around the corner and while you might be keeping your eyes open for new holiday attire, it’s time to start taking care of your hair so that when it comes time to show everything off, your hair looks just as shiny as your new dress! Speak with NYC Hair Stylist, Lucy Garcia Planck, from Salon Bergdorf Goodman, on how to make sure your hair stands out this holiday season.

ARTICLE: Study finds diet rich in non-indispensable amino acids is better for cardiovascular health

 Study finds diet rich in non-indispensable amino acids is better for cardiovascular health

International Journal of Epidemiology reports major comparison of pattern of amino acid intakes

LOMA LINDA, CA — October 16, 2019 — A study conducted by researchers in California and France has found that intakes of amino acids largely consisting of indispensable amino acids, such as those found in animal protein, are associated with a sharp increased risk of heart disease, while intakes rich in so-called non-indispensable amino acids, richer in plant protein, are beneficial for the human heart.

The study — which was recently published online by the International Journal of Epidemiology — found that people with a high intake of indispensable amino acids experienced a 60% increase in cardiovascular disease (CVD), while people who consumed large amounts of some non-indispensable amino acids experienced a 35% reduction in CVD.

The study, titled, “Patterns of amino acids intake are strongly associated with cardiovascular mortality, independently of the sources of protein,” was a joint project of researchers from Loma Linda University School of Public Health in California and INRA and AgroParisTech in Paris, France.

The study included data from 80,000 participants and is the first of its kind to examine overall patterns of amino acid intake. The intake of amino acids has been studied in the literature, but almost always in isolation. Amino acids come from protein, so the levels of their intake are interconnected, resulting in patterns of intake with likely complex effects.

This study built on a previous groundbreaking study published last year from the same consortium of researchers. That study had reported that proteins from meat were inversely associated with cardiovascular mortality, whereas proteins from nuts and seeds were healthy. Combining those results with the detailed amino acid approach in this new study, the authors could conclude that a part of the effect of the proteins could indeed originate from their composition in amino acids.

Amino acids are building blocks for protein, and the so-called indispensable amino acids — found in foods such as eggs, cheese, and poultry — have long been considered as the most important because they are strictly required for the body to synthesize protein. In contrast, non-indispensable amino acids — in foods like pumpkin seeds, walnuts, lentils and soybeans — are classically deemed of little importance, because they do not limit protein synthesis. However, those amino acids are not just building blocks for protein as they are also involved in many other biological processes with potential impact on vascular health.

Gary Fraser, MB ChB, PhD, from Loma Linda University, and François Mariotti, PhD, from AgroParisTech and INRA, served as co-principal investigators. 

“There is a growing interest in protein and amino acids for cardiovascular health, in particular as plant and animal protein sources are concerned,” Fraser said. “Reports regarding amino acids have been sparse and largely fragmented so far.” He added that he and Mariotti have long suspected that some amino acids could protect against heart and vascular disease, whereas others might increase risk.

Mariotti said nutritionists have traditionally defined protein quality as the ability for dietary protein to be used efficiently for making new protein in the body, which is supposed to be mainly influenced by their content in indispensable amino acids; but protein quality should also be considered with regards to cardiovascular health, especially when cardiovascular disease rather than denutrition is the health burden in some countries. Mariotti said these new findings suggest the dietary intake of many indispensable amino acids (such as the well-known BCAA [branched-chain amino acids], lysine and methionine) could indeed be detrimental, whereas that of other non-indispensables amino acids (such as arginine, glycine and aspartate/asparagine) could be beneficial.

The authors insist that these associations seem largely mediated by the specific effects of the amino acids and not by potential confounders such as patterns of protein food intakes and related dietary patterns (such as fat intake). They however recognize that, as in any observational study, we cannot be sure that the associations are not, in part, resulting from residual confounding with other strongly influential dietary and lifestyle factors. The model used was intended to account for all confounders and analyze the extent to which amino acids mediate or explain the relations found.

Fraser said the study leaves other questions open for further investigation, such as identifying the factors other than amino acids that convey the other part of the association between dietary protein type and cardiovascular health. This could be phytochemicals tightly associated with the amino acids found in foods such as nuts and seeds.
