Effect of jelly mixed with chia seeds, golden needle mushrooms, l-carnitine and natural extracts on anthropometry, dietary intake and appetite in obese adults
Abstract
Obesity is a public health problem in Thailand, and the number of people with obesity is steadily increasing. Obesity increases the risk of cancer and chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Currently, there are functional foods and natural extracts that promote health, such as chia seeds, l-carnitine, white bean extract, acerola cherry, caralluma extract, golden needle mushroom and jiaogulan extract. Therefore, the objective is to study the effects of consuming jelly mixed with natural substances and extracts in people with obesity. This study was randomized, placebo-controlled trail. The 74 obese people were divided into two groups, the intervention group received jelly mixed with chia seeds, golden needle mushrooms, l-carnitine and natural extracts, while the control group received jelly without important substances. Both groups consumed jelly twice a day, 1 pack or 35 grams at a time, consumed 30-60 minutes before meals in 2 main meals for 8 weeks. The anthropometry, dietary intake and assessment of appetite were performed. The result within the intervention group found that there was a significant decrease in waist circumference and a significant decrease than the control group. Waist to hip ratio and upper arms of the intervention group decreased significantly, but not differ from the control group. The dietary patterns of the intervention group changed, with increased protein intake and significantly lower in the proportion of carbohydrates intake in week 8, while the proportion of protein intake increased significantly from week 4 and continued through week 8. Changes in appetite were observed only in the intervention group. Hunger and appetite have decreased since week 4 and were significantly satiated in week 8. The intervention group had significantly less hunger than the control group. Therefore, the consumption of jelly mixed with chia seeds, golden needle mushrooms, l-carnitine and natural extracts in obese people could improve anthropometry, dietary pattern and appetite. Future studies should have a longer study duration and be conducted among people with other chronic diseases.
