A almost two-decade-long study connected premature death in persons with type 2 diabetes and high consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, including fruit punch, soda, and lemonade. Both heart-related causes and other factors were shown to be connected. However, other alcoholic beverages, particularly coffee, tea, low-fat milk, and plain water, assisted in reducing the risk of premature mortality. But other beverages—specifically coffee, tea, low-fat milk and plain water—helped lower the odds of early death. These findings point to the potential role of healthy drinks for folks with type 2 diabetes, the study concluded. "Beverages can be a source of sugar, but also could be an important source of other dietar...

  Antibiotic consumption and resistance is a 'two-way street' between animals and humans For the first time, scientists have demonstrated that globally, the association between antibiotic consumption and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) between human and animals goes both ways. The study highlights the urgent need for an integrated, cross-domain strategy to tackle the spread of AMR, focusing on social development,  poverty reduction  and enforcing tighter rules on the use of antibiotics. Kasim Allel, lead author and Associate Research Fellow in Infectious Disease Epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) said, "AMR is a 'wicked problem' as conflicting priorities exist amongst an intricate web of stakeholders.

  Sticking with these foods could help with losing weight Certain foods have a reputation for being weight loss all-stars because they satisfy a person's nutritional requirements while keeping them fuller for longer. Connie Diekman, a well-known food and nutrition expert and past president of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, remarked, "You're looking at plant foods." You are considering whole grains, fruits, veggies, beans, nuts, and seeds. While some of these items may be restricted by certain diets or special eating regimens, a healthy diet can include all of them with an eye towards portion control. Healthy fats According to the National Institutes of Health, healthy fat helps the gut receive specific vitamins while also providing energy (NIH). Several oils that are liquid at room temperature, such as olive, soybean, canola, peanut, and safflower, are examples of healthy unsaturated lipids. Along with avocados, nuts, and seeds, the NIH also includes fatty fi...

  Physicist Stephan Reuter of Polytechnique Montréal spends most days using his expertise in energy and matter to improve medical technologies. Recently though, he stood in a sea of green to consider how a shower of charged particles might affect lettuce. He had been invited to one of the largest commercial greenhouses in Quebec to help the growers rethink the energy of agriculture. Inside the building, encased by glass walls and covering more ground than four soccer fields, thousands upon thousands of lettuce plants floated on polystyrene mats in a hydroponic, or no-soil, growing system. The crop was nearly ready to be picked, packaged and shipped. Reuter’s task was to use physics to help the company, Hydroserre Inc. in Mirabel, reduce its carbon footprint. To that end, the company is interested in finding new ways to fight pathogens and to deliver fertilizer to the growing plants. Many fertilizers contain ammonia, which is produced from nitrogen (necessary for plant growth) and h...

  Union minister of civil aviation on Tuesday said the applicability of drone in the agriculture sector is beyond pesticide spraying and has tremendous scope in organic and natural farming as well. Drone industry in India has grown 6-8 times in the last one-and-a-half years. The drone infrastructure set up in the country is "extremely robust" and an Indian case study of drones as pioneer in agriculture will be exhibited in the ongoing meeting of G20 agriculture working group. Addressing the media on the sidelines of the first G-20 Agriculture Deputies Meeting here, the Union minister said: "Don't look at drones through narrow lines. The versatility and diversity of the application of using drones as service is vast." India on Tuesday called on G20 nations to adopt '3S' strategy - Smart, Sustainable and Serve - for the agriculture ecosystem in order to address the global food security concerns. Addressing media on the sidelines of the first G20 Agri...

  Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Friday said farmers are the backbone of a rising India and also credited industry with driving the agriculture sector into a "new trajectory"."Bharat is on the rise as never before. It is a global recognition. And in this rise, farmers are the backbone," he said in his inaugural address at the 15th edition of the agriculture and food technology fair organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) here. The vice president said the commitment of  .. The vice president said the commitment of the industry to drive the agriculture sector on a novel trajectory is commendable, welcome and needs to be taken to higher stages of execution. Calling the theme of the fair -- Digital Transformation for Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security -- an apt one, he said its relevance can never be over emphasized. "It is the farmer who needs to be well informed so that he adopts economically sustainable measures," he said....
