EFFECT OF AMINO ACID SUPPLEMENTATION ON SATIETY AND FOOT INTAKE: A CASE-CONTROL STUDY

Abstract

Lifestyle, especially diet, has been identified to have a variety of effects on different health indices of an individual and recent studies have shown that some certain dietary changes are capable of producing conspicuous changes in different facets of physiological well-being. Nevertheless, nowadays, much attention has been paid to the effect of dietary interventions still a considerable literature gap persists in how meal timing and composition influence postprandial processes in various groups of the population. The evidence from this research has aimed at understanding the health gains likely to occur from some of the dietary modifications among a culturally diverse population group. One hundred participants were involved in the study, and information such as age, sex, height, weight, and BMI for each participant was taken.

The participants disclosed the simple demographic measurements regarding their health, and it was concluded that none of them had life-threatening health conditions prior to the study. Major comorbidities, current medications, dietary restrictions, and precautionary measures were recorded. Outcome measures were systematically recorded both pre-meal and post-meal (30 minutes after meal completion) across three daily meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This design made it easier to assess the various effects of dieting on physiological characteristics. The evidence thus presents substantial differences in the effects on health from diets and supplementation, underpinning the concepts of personalized nutrition. The results also show the effect of diet as one of the components of the quality of human health and the need for further research in the field of nutrition.
