Arouca A, et al. - Researchers sought to establish that a healthy diet reduces the relation between adiposity and inflammation, and an unhealthy diet increases the effect of adiposity on inflammatory biomarkers. In 618 adolescents (13–17 years) of the European HELENA study, they analyzed data on body composition, a set of inflammation markers, and food intake. Observations revealed that a diet rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients could reduce the concentration of inflammatory biomarkers caused by adiposity in some cases. In contrast, a poor diet seemed to contribute to the onset of early oxidative stress signs.
