Stress Reduction Can Decrease Consumption of Unhealthy Food by Anjanee Sharma on March 12, 2021 at 9:04 PM
Study finds that lifestyle intervention targeting stress improved the diet of overweight mothers. Low-income mothers of young kids were found to eat fewer fast-food meals and high-fat snacks after participating in the study.
The 16-week intervention aimed to prevent weight gain by promoting stress management, healthy eating, and physical activity. It involved following simple steps from lessons on time management and prioritizing, demonstrated through videos starring mothers like the study s participants.
The intervention focused on showing the women examples of how they could achieve a healthier and less stressful lifestyle than tell them what they had to change. With the videos, researchers increased awareness of stressors in life and ways to control negative emotions.

Gene Responsible For Longer Lifespan Helps Cope-Up Stress by Karishma Abhishek on February 21, 2021 at 11:24 PM Nature Communications. Forkhead box protein O3 (FOXO3) . FOXO3, when exposed to oxidative stress, is involved in triggering programmed cell death (apoptosis) in the absence of survival factors, including neuronal cell death.
Early studies done by the team suggest that lack of FOXO3 gene in the mice brain renders them incapable of coping up with stressful conditions in the brain, which leads to the progressive death of neurons. FOXO3 thus preserves the brain s ability to regenerate by preventing stem cells from dividing until the environment will support the new cells survival.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was found to be associated with nutritional health. In a new study, the prevalence of PTSD was seen among racialized immigrants, women and those living in poverty and women suffering from chronic pain.
A study of factors associated with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has led to a number of novel findings linking nutrition to experiences of PTSD. Notable among them is the discovery that Canadians, between the ages of 45 and 85, were less likely to exhibit PTSD if they consumed an average of two to three fiber sources daily. It is possible that optimal levels of dietary fiber have some type of mental health-related protective effect, says Karen Davison, Director of the Nutrition Informatics Research Group and Health Science Program Faculty Member at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. This may be due to the communication network that connects the gut and brain via short c
Gene Therapies May Provide New Dimension in Treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) by Karishma Abhishek on January 31, 2021 at 9:43 AM
Eighteen specific, fixed positions on chromosomes (known as loci) associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are identified by researchers at the University of California San Diego, Veterans Affairs San Diego Healthcare System (VASDHS), Yale University, and West Haven VA, published in the journal Nature Genetics. PTSD, long been known to be heritable, is a serious mental disorder that can occur after exposure to extreme, life-threatening stress, with a lifetime prevalence of approximately 7 per cent (but much higher among veterans). Traumatic events affect more than half to three-quarters of Americans over their lifetime, but most do not develop PTSD.
