Healthy Diet

The purpose of this study is to assess whether introducing table olives into the diet results in health-related benefits for young adults. Several studies have shown that addition of olives as part of somebody's diet has a positive impact on cardiovascular, metabolic, and inflammatory factors. However, there have not been many studies among young, healthy adults. This study will compare levels of specific biomarkers, collected through blood draw, at the beginning of the study and after 5 weeks, to evaluate the effects of investigational daily olive consumption.

Young children rely on their foods and drinks for the nutrients they need to grow, like energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals. In addition to nutrients, there are substances in fruits, vegetables, milk and formula, called phytochemicals, that can support health. While researchers know more about the role of phytochemicals in adult health, researchers know surprisingly little about how phytochemicals can support health in young children. One group of phytochemicals are called the carotenoids. Carotenoids are responsible for the red, orange, and yellow colors in some fruits and vegetables. In adults, carotenoids can support visual function. Researchers also know that measuring levels of carotenoids in the blood or optically in the skin, can serve as an indirect measurement of what child and adults eat. The purpose of this study is to determine how a child's usual intake of carotenoids is related to their visual development and their blood and skin levels of carotenoids. The study involves 6 visits. For each visit, we will ask about the child's recent diet, will measure their body size, collect a blood sample, collect optical measurements of their skin, and will test how sharp their vision is.

This study aims to evaluate whether Ultra-Processed Food (UPF) warning labels on social media posts improve consumer understanding and influence purchase intentions among teens and young adults. Participants aged 13-29 in the United States will be recruited and randomized into two groups: a control group (no label) and an intervention group (UPF warning). Participants will view social media posts featuring UPFs with or without warning labels and respond to survey questions following each post.

Open labelled, virtual home based study to assess the test repeatability and the failure/rejection rate of the samples collected at home by participants.

In this study 24 adult males and adult females, with overall healthy condition, will consume approximately 30 grams of wild rice every day for 28 days. Cardiovascular risk factors will be assessed at the beginning and at the end of the study.

To prove the effectiveness of complex wellness programs in terms of maintaining active longevity, including motivational counseling, high-intensity training, intermittent fasting, hypoxic training, as well as practices for achieving healthy sleep and mental well-being. Clinical-instrumental, single-centre, prospective, open-label, non-randomized, sequential enrollment study with blinded endpoint analysis

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of global mortality, despite being preventable. Moderate wine consumption has been associated with one of the preventative approaches due to its benefits on cardiovascular health, including endothelial protection and antioxidant effects, attributed to its chemical composition, such as flavonoids. Objective: To assess endothelial function through flow-mediated dilation after the consumption of red wine compared to non-alcoholic wine. Methodology: A parallel, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial with a blinded evaluator will be conducted with 20 healthy participants, evaluated at two distinct time points. Participants will be selected to receive either red wine or non-alcoholic wine and will be crossed over after 7 days to receive the opposite beverage from the initial one. The primary outcome will be the change in flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery pre- and post-intervention in both groups. The secondary outcomes will include the flow-mediated dilation values, brachial artery diameter after the intervention, and measurements of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP).
