Low-Cal vs. Fasting Diets: How Does Each Affect the Microbiome?TUESDAY, Aug. 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When it comes to the array of different microorganisms found in the human gut, more is better: A more diverse microbiome is a healthier microbiome.Now, initial results of a small, ongoing study suggests that weight loss through either intermittent fasting or a calorie-restricted diet can improve that diversity.After tracking calorie-control dieters and intermittent fasters for three months, both had significantly improved microbiome diversity, said study author Maggie Stanislawski, an assistant professor of biomedical informatics at the University of Colorado."The increase wasn’t greater in one group or the other,” she said.Each individual has a unique population of microorganisms including bacteria, fungi and viruses, in his or her gut....

What`s Your Exercise `Fat-Burning Zone`?MONDAY, Aug. 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A more personalized approach to exercise may be necessary, claims a new study that found fat burning varied widely between individuals. Even worse, this rate often does not align with the “fat-burning zone” on commercial exercise machines, the researchers added.Clinical exercise testing, a diagnostic procedure to measure a person’s physiological response to exercise, may be a more useful tool, the study authors said.“People with a goal of weight or fat loss may be interested in exercising at the intensity which allows for the maximal rate of fat burning. Most commercial exercise machines offer a ‘fat-burning zone’ option, depending upon age, sex and heart rate,” said lead study author Hannah Kittrell. She is a PhD candidate at...
