Study: 100% adoption of plant-based diets could save the NHS £6.7 billion a year

A new study by the Office of Health Economics shows that with 100% adoption of plant-based diets in England, the total health care cost savings for the NHS could be around £6.7 billion. Using an economic model-based analysis, authors Nadine Henderson and Chris Sampson combined estimates for the prevalence of diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, which they predict would be greatly reduced with a complete uptake of plant-based diets. They also modelled different levels of uptake in the population.

GLP-1R agonist liraglutide rapidly improves insulin sensitivity in pre-diabetics, independent of weight loss

A new study published in the journal Diabetes demonstrates that a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist, a member of a class of medication used to treat Type 2 diabetes and obesity, can lead to a rapid improvement in insulin sensitivity.

Early-acting autophagy genes extend lifespan through alternative "garbage disposal" pathway in neurons

Autophagy, which declines with age, may hold more mysteries than researchers previously suspected. In the January 4th issue of Nature Aging, it was noted that scientists from the Buck Institute, Sanford Burnham Prebys and Rutgers University have uncovered possible novel functions for various autophagy genes, which may control different forms of disposal including misfolded proteins-;and ultimately affect aging.
