54321... Ease anxiety, atopic dermatitis, GAPS diet and more

-> Anxiety can grow so severe that it interferes with day-to-day activities, sleep, and relationships. Panic disorder can sometimes lead to a panic attack.


However, there are a variety of ways that can help alleviate excessive anxiety in minutes.The 54321 mindfulness hack can be one of them: 5 things you can see, 4 things you can physically feel, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell and 1 thing you can taste. New York Post.

->There are 2.26 women for every man who takes antidepressants, 2.22 for Valium-like medications called benzodiazepines, 2.33 for beta blockers, and 2.19 for anticonvulsants.


Even medications like antipsychotics, which are less commonly recommended for more acute anxiety, are more likely to be prescribed for women.

Anti-anxiety drug use remained stable between 2003 and 2008, but then began to rise — likely as a result of the financial crisis that year, she said.

During that time, the number of new anxiety prescriptions issued increased from 25 or 26 per 1,000 person years at risk — a measure of anxiety prevalence – to 43.6 in 2018. The Guardian

->In persons with atopic dermatitis, the complex population of microorganisms that reside on the skin is frequently out of balance (AD). This imbalance can aggravate the problem. Scientists are developing novel probiotic medicines to help people with Alzheimer's disease restore a more balanced microbial habitat in their skin. However, there are already established methods for people to cultivate a better skin microbiome.


More than 1,000 distinct bacteria species exist on the skin alone, occupying a variety of ecological niches ranging from the scalp to the soles of the feet.

Despite appearances, the skin is a 3D forest of hair follicles and sweat glands with a total surface area of roughly 25 square meters, rather than a flat surface. Medical News Today 

->GAPS stands for Gut and Psychology Syndrome, a phrase coined by Natasha Campbell-McBride, a medical doctor, neurology specialist, and nutritionist, to describe linkages between the digestive system and the brain. After examining the relationship between food, nutrition, gut, and brain health, Campbell-McBride developed the GAPS diet in 2004.


Many health disorders, according to GAPS, are caused by an unhealthy gut, and that if one's gut is healed, many digestive, neurological, and immunological conditions can be addressed. These claims are made in relation to autoimmune diseases, food allergies and intolerances, and other digestive disorders, as well as neurological and psychiatric issues.

There are no peer-reviewed scientific research on the GAPS diet's effectiveness. Eating Well

Sweetener Reformulated Biscuits: A Step Towards Blood Glucose Control

In a recent study led by Catherine Gibbons from the University of Leeds, the effects of sweetener reformulated biscuits on appetite and endocrine responses in adults with overweight or obesity were evaluated. This study, conducted between 2021 and 2022 in England and France, sheds light on the potential benefits of substituting sucrose with sweeteners like neotame and stevia rebaudioside M (StRebM). The findings suggest that while the reformulated biscuits yielded similar appetite responses compared to sucrose-sweetened ones, they demonstrated a significant advantage in terms of post-meal insulin and glucose levels. Participants consuming biscuits with neotame and StRebM experienced lower postprandial insulin levels compared to those consuming sucrose, indicating a potential positive impact on blood glucose control. This is particularly noteworthy in the context of individuals at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. However, it's essential to acknowledge the limitations highlighted ...

Después de cuatro años de análisis en la Universidad de Navarra, las personas que menos engordaron fueron las que nunca habían fumado.
