Green Coffee: Impressive Benefits for Weight Loss and Overall Health – But Use with Caution! - Jordan News

Jordan News7 days ago
Green coffee, which refers to unroasted, raw coffee beans, is well known for its rich content of plant-based compounds that promote health. Its extract is often used as a dietary supplement, though it can also be consumed as a regular beverage. However, it tastes noticeably different from roasted coffee, offering a much lighter flavor. According to experts, the chemical composition of green coffee differs greatly from roasted beans—it's especially rich in chlorogenic acids, which have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, making it a strong booster for overall well-being. اضافة اعلان How Does Green Coffee Support Weight Loss? Multiple studies suggest that regularly drinking green coffee with hot water can significantly reduce body weight and fat accumulation. Some research indicates that individuals who consume green coffee may lose 3 to 5 kilograms more than those who don't. It's also believed that green coffee improves the lean body mass to fat mass ratio. However, it's best used alongside a balanced diet and regular exercise, not as a substitute. In addition, green coffee may help lower blood sugar levels and prevent fat buildup. Some studies have shown it may also reduce high blood pressure in certain individuals. While the optimal dosage for various health goals hasn't been firmly established, consulting a doctor before use is highly recommended. Additional Health Benefits and Antioxidant Power Thanks to its high chlorogenic acid content, green coffee is a rich source of antioxidants, helping combat oxidative stress, a major contributor to premature aging and chronic diseases, including cancer. Animal and lab studies have also shown that green coffee may reduce inflammation and even protect DNA from damage. Potential Side Effects: Caffeine and Calcium Deficiency Just like regular roasted coffee, green coffee beans naturally contain caffeine. While moderate caffeine intake is generally safe and even beneficial for most people, excessive consumption can lead to anxiety, sleep disturbances, and elevated blood pressure. Some animal studies also found that daily doses of green coffee extract could lead to significant calcium depletion in bone tissue.
Therefore, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional before incorporating green coffee into your routine—especially if you have any medical conditions or are taking medications.

WCM-Q study highlights potential of flavonoid-induced ferroptosis in treating cancer

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) have explored preclinical evidence on the therapeutic potential of flavonoids that induce ferroptosis in gastrointestinal (GI) cancers in a new article published in the Journal of Advanced Research (ScienceDirect), a leading applied/natural sciences cancers account for a quarter of all cancer cases and are the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In addition, the incidence of early-onset GI cancer in individuals under 50 has been rising at an alarming rate in recent advances in cancer treatment, factors like rapid globalization, changes in the distribution and prevalence of key risk factors, and demographic trends contribute to epidemiological disparities and variations in the incidence and mortality of GI cancers worldwide. Of the GI cancers, colorectal cancer is considered the most predominant, followed by cancers of the stomach, liver, esophagus, and pancreas. While most GI cancers occur sporadically, only 10 percent are hereditary. Apart from the influence of genetic and environmental factors, lifestyle and dietary habits, and multi-causal combinations like obesity, smoking, and alcohol consumption, are all common risk factors associated with GI treatments for GI cancers include multidisciplinary strategies based on surgical intervention, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and other therapeutic modalities. However, the efficacy of therapeutics is limited by the malignant characteristics of cancer cells, particularly their ability to resist treatment, metastasize, and promote evidence suggests that ferroptosis, a novel iron-dependent form of cell death, may be a promising target for cancer therapy. Ferroptosis is a unique, regulated form of programmed cell death driven by the overaccumulation of lipid peroxides. Numerous preclinical studies have increasingly demonstrated the effectiveness of inducing ferroptosis using natural compounds such as flavonoids as an alternative strategy in cancer article was authored by Ms. Ruqaia Shoheeduzzaman, a graduate of the WCM-Q National Internship Program (June 2024), with co-corresponding authors from WCM-Q: Dr. Dietrich Büsselberg, professor of physiology and biophysics; Dr. Samson Mathews Samuel, research associate in physiology and biophysics; and Ms. Elizabeth Varghese, a senior research specialist.'The review highlights recent studies on the anticancer potential of flavonoids, mediated through ferroptosis, in gastrointestinal cancers, including data derived from in vitro cell culture and in vivo animal model tumor systems. It hypothesizes that flavonoid-mediated ferroptosis presents a strategic intervention in cancer therapy, serving as both anticancer agents and sensitizers to enhance the efficacy of current treatments,' said Dr. Bü article also suggests that the landscape of cancer therapy is continually evolving, and with the development of new, cutting-edge technologies, there is a greater scope to understand and implement natural compounds, such as flavonoids, in cancer therapy. This would facilitate the development of tailored ferroptosis-based therapeutic strategies and help bridge gaps where conventional therapies fall short, thereby further supporting the effective translation of these strategies to clinical use. The study was made possible through funding from the Biomedical Research Program at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar and NPRP-Standard (NPRP-S) 14th Cycle grant NPRP14S-0311-210033 from Qatar National Research Fund (a member of Qatar Foundation).

'No Special Treatment': Hamas sets terms as Netanyahu begs red cross for hostage aid

ALBAWABA - The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has been officially asked by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to help Israeli prisoners being held in Gaza by getting them food and medical care right away. This was done after troubling video footage showed that the prisoners' health was getting worse, especially the hostages Avitar David and Rom Braslavsky, who looked like they were seriously starved because of Gaza's growing humanitarian crisis. Netanyahu asked Julian Lirisson, who is in charge of the ICRC in Israel and the Palestinian areas, to let the prisoners be helped right away. He said that Hamas was behind a worldwide effort to spread false information about hunger in Gaza, saying that "our hostages are actually starving because they are being brutally abused physically and mentally." But quickly, Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed branch of Hamas, said through Abu Ubaida that they were ready to let the Red Cross deliver aid to the Israeli hostages—as long as Israel agreed to permanently open humanitarian corridors and stop attacking from the air while the aid was being delivered. Abu Ubaida made it clear that the prisoners are not being intentionally starved, but are simply living in the same difficult conditions as Hamas soldiers and the rest of the Palestinian people. "They eat what our fighters and people eat," he said, making it clear that the resistance would not give special treatment to them while more than two million people in Gaza are under lockdown. The statement also said that Israel's constant bombings and failure to allow regular entry for humanitarian groups have made things worse in Gaza and made it harder to help. ❗️Hamas is READY to deliver food to hostages with Red Cross On the condition that Israel allow 'food and medicine to ALL our people' in Gaza Evitar David's fate is back in Netanyahu's hands August 3, 2025 Families want a deal. Families of the hostages protested in Tel Aviv and asked the Netanyahu government to quickly come up with a way for their loved ones to be freed. The families were furious that the government had kept up the war and not been able to free the hostages, calling promises of a military answer a "deceptive illusion." Israeli media say that a lot of family members think that the only way to move forward is to negotiate a full exchange deal that stops the war and gets the prisoners home. Israel thinks that about 50 of its people are still being held captive in Gaza, and that about 20 of them are still living. Meanwhile, more than 10,800 Palestinians are being held in Israeli jails, where they are said to be tortured, starved, and not getting enough medical care. Many of them have died, according to reports from Palestinian and Israeli rights groups. Negotiations Held Up and Hamas's Offer Recent talks in Doha, which were handled by Qatar and Egypt and backed by the U.S., fell apart because Israel wouldn't change its mind about wanting to keep troops in Gaza, wouldn't end the war, and wouldn't accept key relief supplies. Hamas has said again that it is ready to free all Israeli hostages at once, but only if there is an end to the fighting, Israel leaves Gaza, and Palestinian prisoners are freed. But Netanyahu has kept adding new conditions, like silencing Palestinian groups and reclaiming control over Gaza, which make any possible deal even less likely. As pressure builds up at home and around the world, the humanitarian situation keeps getting worse. Hostages and bystanders are taking the brunt of the long-running war.

WHO Calls for Continued and Increased Health Aid to Gaza - Jordan News

The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has called for the continuation and intensification of the flow of medical aid to the Gaza Strip, which remains under a tight Israeli blockade. اضافة اعلان In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, Dr. Tedros stressed that 'the survival and well-being of people in Gaza depend on the entry of aid into the territory.' He stated that 24 trucks carrying essential medical supplies have been delivered to Gaza since the beginning of August, including life-saving medicines and other critical health materials. These supplies, he noted, will be distributed to health centers and hospitals throughout the strip. Earlier on Sunday, the Gaza Ministry of Health announced that the death toll from Israel's starvation policy has risen to 175 Palestinians, including 93 children, since the war began on October 7, 2023.
