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

Brain health. Promising prebiotics and probiotics combination

According to new research, the bacteria in our gut, known as gut microbiota, play an important role in brain injury and healing after a stroke. Taking particular types of prebiotics and probiotics can help with brain injury, inflammation, gut bacteria imbalances, and intestinal health. However, we still don't know whether prebiotics, probiotics, or synbiotics (a combination of both) perform best for particular conditions, or how they operate. In this study, scientists tested a new synbiotic formulation containing multiple strains of probiotics Lactobacillus reuteri UBLRu-87 Lactobacillus plantarum UBLP-40 Lactobacillus rhamnosus UBLR-58 Lactobacillus salivarius UBLS-22 Bifidobacterium breve UBBr-01 and prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOS)  FOS are extracted from the blue agave plant and fruits and vegetables such as bananas, onions, chicory root, garlic, asparagus, jícama, and leeks. Some grains and cereals, such as wheat and barley, also contain FOS. The Jerusalem artichoke and ...

Catch of the Day: Hypnosis, Fibromyalgia, IBD, Gut Microbiota, Aging

Hypnosis as a Tool for Managing Fibromyalgia Pain "Harnessing Hypnosis: A Promising Approach to Tackle Fibromyalgia Pain" Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a complex condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and emotional challenges. The exact cause of FMS is not fully understood, but there's evidence suggesting a link between childhood/adulthood abuse or neglect and its development. Treating FMS can be difficult due to its resistance to most treatments. However, a recent review suggests that hypnotherapy, a psychological intervention, could be effective in managing FMS pain. This technique aims to reduce pain, fatigue, sleep problems, anxiety, and depression by using hypnosis to address emotional conflicts and unresolved traumas associated with FMS. This non-invasive approach might offer relief to those struggling with fibromyalgia. De Benedittis G. The Challenge of Fibromyalgia Efficacy of Hypnosis in Alleviating the Invisibl...
