In a recent review published in the journal Nutrients, researchers investigated the psychobiotic treatment of depression by restoring microbial balance and regulating the microbiome-gut-brain (MGB) axis. Depression is a global health concern that causes pain, lost productivity, higher healthcare expenditures, and a high risk of suicide. Dysbiosis, a disruption in gut microbiome homeostasis, can affect […]

Shared eating habits of couples impact pregnancy weight gain, study suggests

In a recent article published in the journal Nutrients, researchers assessed how gestational weight gain (GWG) is associated with the eating behaviors of pregnant people and their non-pregnant partners through a cohort study in the United States. Their results indicate that poor cognitive restraint was associated with higher GWG, suggesting that restrained eating by couples […]

Dietary shifts to less processed foods significantly lower triglycerides in women

During reproductive age, poor nutrition quality increases obesity rates and, as a result, the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes. Dyslipidemia also impacts health, particularly among women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In pregnant women, elevated triglycerides increase the risk of gestational diabetes, which can lead to type 2 diabetes and CVD […]
