\"\" Milk has always been touted as a healthy drink. The calcium<\/a> found in milk can strengthen bones and is a healthy addition to any diet. However, researchers now believe milk has even more power than once thought. Aside from the calcium, scientists believe a vitamin in milk could help people lose weight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The \u201cHidden Vitamin\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

A vitamin, known as nicotinamide riboside or NR, is found in low doses of milk. When scientists gave high doses of the vitamin to mice, it had remarkable effects. The vitamin prevented obesity in mice that were fed a fatty diet, and also increased muscle performance, improved energy expenditure and prevented diabetes development, all without side effects.<\/p>\n

“This study is very important. It shows that in animals, the use of NR offers the health benefits of a low-calorie diet and exercise \u2014 without doing either one,” says Dr. Anthony Sauve, associate professor of Pharmacology at Weill Cornell Medical College.<\/p>\n

The Swiss researchers behind this study found, \u201cthat mice on a high-fat diet supplemented with NR gained significantly less weight (60 percent) than mice fed the same diet without NR, even though the mice supplemented with NR ate the same amount of food as mice on the high fat diet not treated with NR. They had improved energy. They were in better shape than the untreated mice, with significantly better endurance and stronger muscles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beyond Dieting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Researchers are still trying to figure out how powerful NR can be. Many believe it has more beneficial attributes.<\/p>\n

\"\"“The research also suggests that the effects of NR could be even broader,” Dr. Sauve says. “The bottom line is that NR improves the function of mitochondria, the cell’s energy factories. Mitochondrial decline is the hallmark of many diseases associated with aging, such as cancer and neurodegeneration, and NR supplementation boosts mitochondrial functioning.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
