Long-term consumption (i.e., several weeks to months) of a diet that is high in fat (\>35% daily calories from fat) is associated with the development of insulin resistance, a condition that can lead to a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Women tend to be better protected against the development of high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance compared with men, but it is not fully understand why this sex difference exists. It is possible that women metabolize high-fat meals differently than men, which might explain why they are less likely to develop type 2 diabetes over the course of their lifetime. However, no one has ever compared the metabolic response to a high-fat meal between men and women in the hours immediately after ingestion. During this study, the investigators will administer a single high-fat "fast-food" style breakfast meal (846 kcal, of which 58% is fat) to 24 health young adults (n=12 men, n=12 women) 18-35 years old. Their objective is to determine whether there are differences in the way men and women metabolize high-fat meals, such as this one. The research team will take regular blood samples after participants ingest this meal to measure features of glucose metabolism (e.g., blood glucose and insulin) as well as resting oxygen uptake (VO2) measurements to examine how much of this meal is burned for energy in the hours immediately after ingestion.
NCT06996418
The goal of this study is to find out whether having children and older people who attend an intergenerational center eating lunch together on a regular basis may be an improvement over continuing to eat lunch with their generational peers in separate dining rooms at the center. Specifically, the study analyzes the functioning and potential impact of an intergenerational dining room in terms of healthy eating, nutrition, self-evaluation of health and well-being, relational care, nutritional knowledge, and intergenerational attitudes. For this purpose, it sets up, in an intergenerational center, a dining room attended by children aged 2-3 years and older people aged 75 years and older who had previously been taking their lunch in separate dining rooms at the center. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Does eating lunch at the intergenerational dining room improve the intake of healthy foods by children and older people compared to eating at their usual separate dining rooms with their peers? * Does this type of intergenerational dining room serve as a space for nutritional education of children and older people? * Does the experience of eating together have a positive influence in terms of children's attitudes towards older people and vice versa?
NCT05870891
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that the equivalent glycemic load (EGL) value of portions of white bread containing 5 g available carbohydrate measured in this study is accurate and precise to within 1 gram. Additionally, the EGL of 7 low carbohydrate foods will be measured to determine their glycemic impact.
NCT06427915
The primary aim of this clinical trial is to determine the acute effects of OLIPOP (a lower sugar, high fiber prebiotic soda) consumption, compared to consumption of a commercially available sugar-sweetened soda pop, on blood glucose in response to the beverages alone and in combination with a carbohydrate-rich mixed lunch meal in free-living, generally healthy adults.This study will consist of one screening/randomization clinic visit (day 0) and one follow-up clinic visit (day 5), with participants consuming study products on their own (e.g., at home) following an assigned treatment sequence on days 1, 2, 3, and 4. The main questions answered by this trial are the impacts of a prebiotic rich soda versus a traditional soda on: 1) blood glucose levels with and without a meal, 2) perceived hunger levels, 3) perceived alertness levels and 4) total caloric intake.
NCT06020027
The goal of this clinical trial is to understand if a cultural intervention for Navajo families will improve healthy beverage habits, health outcomes, and family cohesion. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does Water is K'é results in healthier beverage habits among children aged 2 to 5, compared with children in a control group? * Does the intervention improve the health of other family members? * How does the intervention affect family well-being? Participants will take part in a four-month program at the early child education site (such as a Head Start or the Bureau of Indian Affair's Family and Child Education or FACE Program) where the child is enrolled. They will take part in lesson plans, a social media campaign, and a family water access plan. Researchers will compare the participating families with families at wait-list early child educations sites. We will collect information through surveys, health measurements, and qualitative interviews and compare results to learn if Water is K'e improves health behaviors, health outcomes, and family cohesion.

This study aims to provide insights into the role of usage of a partially hydrolyzed formula with added synbiotics in early life children's growth and immune-related outcome up to 4 years of age.
NCT06430138
This study will provide a greater insight into the relationship between orange consumption and health (particularly gut health) and could be used to help with the development of novel food products. Oranges are a rich source of (poly)phenols, and although the advantages of a (poly)phenol-rich diet are well-established, the bioavailability and bioactivity of orange (poly)phenols in the context of human digestion are poorly understood. This study will address this gap in research.
NCT06368271
In the present study the plasma lipid profile was elucidated in healthy, lean males by the use of lipidomic analysis in the hours after an acute intake of medium-chain fatty acids (MCT) and long chain fatty acids (LCT),, respectively. In addition oxygen uptake was measured to study energy turnover.
NCT05333900
This is a 5-week crossover pilot study of 15 highly motivated healthy volunteers who will consume two 7-day intervention diets: 1) a diet low in sulfur-containing amino acids (Low-S diet), emphasizing plant-based foods and fat sources; and 2) a diet high in sulfur-containing amino acids (High-S diet), emphasizing animal protein and fat sources. A 14-day washout period will follow each intervention, in which participants will eat their typical diets.

The most commonly used method in the management of body compositions of healthy individuals in the recent times is the application of physical activity together with a healthy nutrition (diet). The application of diet together with physical activity cause significant changes in the body composition (fat ratio, muscle mass, lean body mass, etc.). Physical activity can be done with traditional physical activity methods as well as with virtual reality applications. Virtual reality is a simulation or a metaversal facet of a real environment created by a computer or various other electronic devices that allows one or more users to interact with certain elements in a simulated virtual frame through a human-machine interface. Virtual reality applications are generally classified as immersive and non-immersive virtual reality . Commercial games such as Sony Playstation, Microsoft Kinect Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii can be given as examples of non-immersive virtual reality . In order to preserve body composition, different exercise applications can be recommended in addition to the diet program. In the literature, many studies involving diet, physical activity or a combination of these two applications have been experimentally planned and carried out in a controlled manner. In these studies, moderate body weight loss (1-5 kg) was reported with only physical activity. It is a general opinion that diet therapy in addition to planned physical activity (exercise) provides more effective and healthier results than people who lose weight with only diet programs or only exercise. It has been stated in previous studies that body composition and physical fitness improve with virtual reality application as happened wih diet intervention. However, due to the fact that access to virtual reality applications is not very easy, longitudinal studies are needed to evaluate whether they should be included in general body composition and physical fitness improvement programs. At this point, the main purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate the effects of virtual reality applications and healthy nutrition program on improving body composition and physical fitness.
NCT01789866
Studies suggest that lutein and n-3 fatty acids may influence the development of a child's brain and may be related to how well children learn. Both lutein and the n-3 fats (also known as omega-3 fats) are not made by the body and must be obtained in the diet. The investigators are interested to understand the importance of n-3 fats and lutein to child brain development. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) will make it possible to look into the brain from the outside and see which parts of the brain are being used as children complete working memory tasks. The investigators will study brain function using fMRI among children with different intakes of n-3 fats and lutein. Hypothesis: 1. Children 6 years of age consuming \< 25 mg/day DHA and \< 400 μg lutein/day will show poorer activation of brain areas on fMRI than children consuming \> 150 mg/day DHA and \> 1,200 μg/day lutein. 2. Children consuming \< 400 μg lutein/day and \> 150 mg/day DHA will also show differences in fMRI results when compared to children consuming \> 150 mg/day DHA and \> 1,200 μg/day lutein.

NCT05447936
The main aim was to estimate the daily OED of Jarlsberg cheese related to increased total serum Osteocalcin (tOC) level in young, active female and male Cross-country skiers (XCS). The study population consists of active Cross-country Skiers (XCS) of both genders above 18 years of age. The optimal daily intake of Jarlsberg cheese is assumed to have a dose window of \[20 - 100\] gram/day and a starting dose of 47 gram/day for both female and male. The study was performed equally as an open, two-armed within-patient Response Surface Pathway (RSP) trial with three design level and skewed starting dose. The main response variable will be the change in the tOC level after four weeks from baseline of the given design level. Participants, who fulfil the inclusion criteria, do not meet any of the exclusion criteria and willing to give informed consent to participate will receive an appointment for starting the study. All demographic data, social factors, history of disease and vital signs will be recorded at screening. Blood samples was taken at screening and every four weeks. Muscle strength, Peak VO2 and BMD recorded at screening and at the end of the clinical part week12. Ten female and 10 male XCS divided was be included, perform and completed the study.
