Sugar, Depression, & SAD: Eating Sweets May Make The Holiday Blues Even Worse Than “Cats”

Sugar, Depression, SAD. The Holiday Treats That Bite Back:
Sometimes the holidays can be a tough time of year.

We’re supposed to be jolly, but maybe everything isn’t all going great, and that can be hard to forget temporarily.

So, in times like that, people can sometimes end-up reaching for some good ole’ fashioned seasonal cold-weather comfort-food.

Like the sweet little snacks that seem to be almost-everywhere this time of year.

But a recent study by KU suggests that as great as those cookies and tartlets taste, they may be doing way more harm than good…

Red Wine & Gut Health: Your Internal Microbes Might Solve The French Paradox And Save You Too!

Red Wine & Gut Health. A Fun Antioxidant Source Provides Hidden Benefits:
They say you are what you eat.

Maybe if you get a little more nerdy, you start talking Fat, Carbs, Protein,

And crazier-still, you might even look at Calories!

But very few of us get down to thinking about biochemistry or even what our microbes are doing.

And if a KCL team out of England has the story right, what you eat and drink has effects far in-excess of just keeping you full.

They could go right down to the chemistry of your body, and metabolism…

Anxiety And Microbes: Free Your Gut & Your Mind Will Follow, With Diet Changes + Probiotics

Anxiety, Gut Microbes & Nutrition, Unexpected Improvements:
Tracking down any kind of health-hiccup can be a bit of a trial, no matter what it is.

And one of the most difficult things to fix is your mind, where the recommendations become less obvious.

As SCIENCE improves, it’s finding increasingly strange evidence and solutions.

Like the kind of stuff the crazy Meditation crowd has been telling us for the past few thousand years.

And the best friends of the Meditators are the Yoga & Yogurt wingnuts, who just might be on to something, if a review by Chinese doctors is right…

Salt Vs. Your Gut Microbes: High Blood-Pressure Is Only The First Problem…

Salt Intake Wrecks Blood-Pressure, And Your Gut Microbes Too:
So the more we study, the stranger the discoveries get about things like diet and your body’s microbes.

This is especially true for the odd finding that not all probiotics are helpful.

More discoveries keep rolling-in about nutrition too, like Western Diets being rough on your hair, your skin, and many other parts of you.

But now, researchers are finding the old diet recs for blood-pressure might be accidentally helping in interesting ways you never imagined…

Alcohol & Gut Microbes: Does Drinking Kill Off All The Good Bacteria? Should We Outlaw Happy-Hour And Do Shots Of Activia Instead? [Video]


Alcohol & Gut Microbes, Does A Little Fun Kill Your Health?:
So as science progresses we’re learning that microbes inside us play a very important part in our health.

Whether it’s worrying over how much fiber we get, if we’re too clean, too isolated,

Or if the probiotics we take can even help us avoid serious disease.

One of the other favorite human pastimes of course, is using a little nutritional alchemy to up the fun-quotient of life.

But according to the list of studies in this roundup by SciShow, that fun might have some consequences for that newest & tiniest frontier of our health…

Friday’s “Please Explain” segment on WNYC’s “Leonard Lopate Show” was a great episode on the Human Micro-Biome Project and why people die in the Matrix but not Inception.

Guests Dr. Lita Proctor and (the awesomely-named) Dr. Martin Blazer chimed in on how the HMP’s 5-year-mission is to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before sequence a basic microbial dna landscape using a reference set…
