The EASe-GAD study reported a 55% reduction in average anxiety scores among those receiving the treatment, in addition to confirming feasibility and acceptability of a nutritional approach to helping individuals experiencing anxiety.
"While further research is needed to explore the biological mechanisms underlying these associations, the findings do stress the need for health interventions that promote healthy living and weight among parents-to-be."
"Our findings are revolutionary. They suggest that a disrupted microbiome during critical developmental periods can lead to persistent aggressive behaviours later in life."
The Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) was commissioned to investigate whether screening for vitamin B12 deficiency and the diseases homocystinuria, propionic acidemia and methylmalonic aciduria should be included in the German extended newborn screening (ENS) program.
Campaigners say these conflicts of interest are detrimental to public health, but defenders say they reflect the lack of funding in nutrition research. Sophie Borland reports.
A new study provides insight into why vitamin B1—also known as thiamine—helps some patients regain their energy, while others do not experience the same effect.
Eating any amount of fish during pregnancy was associated with about a 20% lower likelihood of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis, particularly in females, and a slight reduction in autism-related traits in offspring, "This study provides yet more evidence for the safety and benefit of regular fish consumption during pregnancy,"
"Most people—even more than previously thought, across all regions and countries of all incomes—are not consuming enough of multiple essential micronutrients. These gaps compromise health outcomes and limit human potential on a global scale."
"The findings highlight a need for clinicians to actively screen for mental health disorders in patients with diabetes in addition to screening for chronic complications, which is the recommended standard of care in diabetes."
Children who have persistently raised inflammation are at a higher risk of experiencing serious mental health disorders including psychosis and depression in early adulthood, according to a new study.
People with type 2 diabetes have more difficulty getting rid of a protein that potentially increases the likelihood of contracting Alzheimer's disease.
Our work reveals the interplay between brain, body and lifestyle, and their collective influence on mental health. Pathways elucidated here may inform behavioural interventions to mitigate or prevent the synergistic co-occurrence of physical and mental disorders.
A 'diet and lifestyle' therapy was as effective as psychotherapy for reducing depression, according to a new clinical trial in which both interventions were delivered 'virtually'. And it would cost less to provide.
Psychiatric diagnoses, like major depressive disorder and ADHD, are not explanatory.
Study claims that autism symptoms were reversed in twins through personalised lifestyle and environmental interventions.
People who drink diet soft drinks regularly and often are more likely to develop certain metabolic conditions (such as diabetes and heart disease) than those who don’t drink diet soft drinks.
These findings highlight the association between prenatal diet and offspring autism-related outcomes and contribute to the evolving understanding of autism etiology.
"Ultra-processed foods offer convenient and often cheaper solutions to time- and income-poor families, but unfortunately many of these foods also offer poor nutritional value. This could be contributing to the inequalities in health we see emerging across childhood and adolescence."
Our findings highlight the potential application of multikingdom and functional gut microbiota markers as non-invasive diagnostic tools in ASD.
