Amongst adults, women are the most vulnerable. Antioxidants are known to play a vital role in the immune system, reducing oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is induced by excess production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), due to the HIV infection. Such damage may be prevented or moderated through adequate oral intake of antioxidants, scavenging ROS, as well as protecting cells and tissues against oxidative stress. Antioxidants can be provided to the body through locally available antioxidant rich-diets such as fruit-and-vegetable-based diets and/or dietary supplements. Provision of antioxidants through local diets or dietary supplements exercise beneficial effects on biological markers of the immune system (CD4 and viral load). However, while dietary supplements represent a costly and short-term strategy to limiting antioxidant deficiency, local diets, combined with adequate nutritional education, can provide a low-cost and long-term strategy to reduce oxidative stress, prevent micronutrient deficiency, and slow down HIV disease progression. The former can be applicable in countries around the West, Central, and South coast of Africa, which are rich in natural food resources. In contrast with significant evidence that dietary supplements confer benefits in HIV patients, fewer data are available relating to the benefits of local diets. Thus the need to do more research in this area arises. This review compares available data on effects of antioxidants on CD4 and viral load in HIV-positive women noneligible for antiretroviral therapy. Intake of antioxidants though dietary supplements and local diet, associated with nutritional education, is compared. Studies conducted in sub-Sahara Africa are considered.}, language = {en} } @article{AldanaGreenlawDiehletal.2008, author = {Aldana, S. and Greenlaw, R. and Diehl, H. and Merrill, R. and Salberg, A. and Englert, Heike}, title = {A video-based lifestyle intervention and changes in coronary risk}, series = {Health Education Res}, volume = {23}, journal = {Health Education Res}, number = {1}, issn = {0268-1153}, pages = {115 -- 124}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @incollection{Englert2015, author = {Englert, Heike}, title = {Antioxidants and HIV/AIDS}, series = {Zampelas A, Micha E (Hg.), Antioxidants in Health and Disease}, booktitle = {Zampelas A, Micha E (Hg.), Antioxidants in Health and Disease}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis Catalog}, isbn = {978-1-4665-8003-9}, pages = {263 -- 278}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @incollection{EnglertNkengfack2016, author = {Englert, Heike and Nkengfack, Germaine}, title = {Antioxidants in HIV patients in Africa: supplements, local diet and education}, series = {Victor Preedy, HIV/AIDS: Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants}, booktitle = {Victor Preedy, HIV/AIDS: Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants}, edition = {1.

We hypothesised that the Healthy Lifestyle Community Programme (HLCP, cohort 1) reduces weight and other risk markers compared with baseline and control. Methods 24-month, non-randomised, controlled intervention trial. Intervention: intensive 8-week phase with seminars, workshops and coaching focusing on a healthy lifestyle (eg, plant-based diet, physical activity, stress management) and group support followed by a 22-month alumni phase. Weight reduction as the primary outcome and other NCD risk parameters were assessed at six time points. Participants were recruited from the general population. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted. Results 143 participants (58±12 years, 71\% female) were enrolled (91 in the intervention (IG) and 52 in the control group (CG)). Groups' baseline characteristics were comparable, except participants of IG were younger, more often females, overweight and reported lower energy intake (kcal/day). Weight significantly decreased in IG at all follow-ups by -1.5 ± 1.9 kg after 8 weeks to -1.9 ± 4.0 kg after 24 months and more than in CG (except after 24 months). Being male, in the IG or overweight at baseline and having a university degree predicted more weight loss. After the intervention, there were more participants in the IG with a 'high' adherence (+12\%) to plant-based food patterns. The change of other risk parameters was most distinct after 8 weeks and in people at elevated risk. Diabetes-related risk parameters did not improve. Conclusion The HLCP was able to reduce weight and to improve aspects of the NCD risk profile. Weight loss in the IG was moderate but maintained for 24 months. Participants of lower educational status might benefit from even more practical units. Future interventions should aim to include more participants at higher risk.
