Feeling blue? Then eat some blueberries; the fruit is an effective way to lift your mood. The fruit isn’t having a positive effect on the brain; instead, it’s improving gut bacteria that influences our mood and the neurotransmitters in our gut. #Blueberries #MoodBoost #GutHealth #HealthyEating #BrainHealth #Superfoods #MentalWellness #NutritionTips #HealthyGut

Fats or carbs? Most of us seem to be in one camp or the other when it comes to choosing the best diet to lose weight. But it could be more complex: the order in which you eat your fats and carbs could have more to do with effective weight loss than just sticking to one diet. Researchers at Kyoto University in Japan have discovered that consuming fat before carbohydrates can reduce the sharp rise in blood sugar that typically follows a meal. In their tests, the researchers used olive oil as their fat, and eating in that order slowed digestion and activated a surprising combination of hormones and nerve signals that helped regulate blood sugar.

The answer to a reactive gut isn’t simply eliminating certain foods, says nutritional therapist Georgia Lennard. It’s learning how to nurture a more resilient gut microbiome—and, in turn, a more robust immune system. 7 ways to build gut resilience 👇 Eat a diverse, fiber-rich diet. Aim to eat a wide variety of different plant foods each week, such as vegetables, herbs, spices, nuts, seeds, legumes where tolerated and berries. Choose organic produce when possible. Eat nourishing whole foods rather than highly processed, nutrient-poor ones. Make sure you’re getting enough key nutrients, especially zinc, iron and essential fatty acids, B vitamins, and vitamins A, C and D. When possible, get these from a varied, nutrient-dense diet rather than automatically reaching for supplements. Spend time in biodiverse natural environments. Interact with nature’s microbes as much as you can by walking through forests, parks and meadows. Lie on grass, garden, plant herbs, touch plants and handle raw soil. Allow children to play outside and get dirty. Move your body. Weave activities like walking, cycling, swimming and dancing into your everyday life. Incorporate regular strength training too. Prioritize sleep. Aim for seven to nine hours each night. If you struggle with this, investigate natural ways to support sleep, such as using lavender aromatherapy and avoiding screen use before bedtime. Nurture meaningful relationships. Stay connected, whether that means making time for friends and family or joining a club, class or community group. Manage stress. There are scores of proven ways to reduce stress, from meditation and yoga to dancing and singing to getting outdoors in green spaces.

Problems of old age may have nothing to do with getting older, and everything to do with a drug the person is taking. But because the doctor doesn’t suspect the drug, he prescribes another drug to treat the side effects of the first drug. Researchers at Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute in Ontario discovered a cascade of 24 health problems and drugs from just one drug that could lead to a prescription for another. In one example, they explored the fallout from a NSAID (non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug) prescription, commonly prescribed to reduce pain. The drugs can increase blood pressure, and this can all too easily trigger a prescription for an antihypertensive. #DrugSideEffects #MedicationRisks #Polypharmacy #HealthResearch #ElderlyCare #PrescriptionDrugs #MedicationSafety

😴 Sleep isn’t just rest—it’s part of your health toolkit. Research following almost 96,000 people found that consistently getting around 6–8 hours of uninterrupted sleep was associated with a lower risk of chronic health problems. And REM sleep may play an important role in supporting both brain and heart health. 🧠❤️ So tonight, make sleep a priority. Your body is doing some of its most important work while you’re asleep. #SleepHealth #HealthyAging #BrainHealth #Wellbeing #BetterSleep #HealthTips #HealthyLifestyle #SleepBetter

A new method of treating conditions from depression to autoimmune diseases involves “retuning” the main nerve of the body. Cate Montana reports The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve in the human body. It exits the brain stem and extends branches to both sides of the body starting at the ears, serving all major organs and systems before ending at the colon. With more than 100,000 nerve connections, it controls the autonomic nervous system and key body functions such as respiration, blood pressure, heart rate, hormone secretion, digestion, metabolism, swallowing, coughing, speech, urine excretion and sweating. With such a vast and intricate network covering the entire trunk of the human body, it’s not surprising that the nerve’s Latin name means “wandering.” The vagus nerve is most active when the body is in a resting state. A bilateral mixed nerve, the vagus complex contains both efferent motor and afferent sensory nerve fibers, traveling to and from the central nervous system. Because of its extensive reach and capacity for conducting two-way information signaling, today the vagus nerve is often referred to as “the internet of the body.” And yet, as massive as it is and as critical as it is to mind-body function, the vagus nerve has only recently begun to be understood and tapped directly in ways that can facilitate health. In particular, researchers are beginning to explore targeted electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve and other parts of the body, a field known as bioelectronic medicine (see below). wddty.com/features/touching-… #VagusNerve #NerveStimulation #BioelectronicMedicine #MentalHealth #AutoimmuneDisease #HealthInnovation #Neuroscience #ChronicIllness #MindBodyConnection #DepressionTreatment
