The Power of Almonds: How This Nut Helps Relieve Constipation and Boost Digestion
If you find yourself making less than four trips to the bathroom for No. 2 each week, chances are you may be experiencing constipation. The discomfort and struggle that comes with constipation can be attributed to various factors, but one common cause is often related to diet. Fortunately, there are simple dietary changes that can help alleviate this condition.
The Power of Water and Fiber
When it comes to relieving recurring constipation, experts emphasize the importance of focusing on water and fiber intake. Increasing your fluid intake and incorporating high-fiber foods into your diet can make a significant difference.
Annette Snyder, M.S., RD, CSOWM, a registered dietitian with Top Nutrition Coaching, suggests consuming adequate amounts of fiber along with drinking sufficient fluids. Fiber and water work together by adding weight to stools which aids in easier passage through the digestive system.

‘The clinic gave me a daily menu. I was scared to death!’
#clinic #gave #daily #menu #scared #death
My daughter was almost six months old when a visit to the child health clinic was planned.
The road there was difficult, as many things are when you have an almost six-month-old baby. We had forgotten the vaccination cards, but we had had a disastrous night and not only that. In the morning my daughter refused her bottle of breast milk and if anything could hurt me deep down, it was that. That you have, with extreme reluctance, hooked up to a breast pump for several minutes, carefully frozen everything, later reheated it just as carefully and then it was REFUSED. Your liquid gold. Won during an -I dare say- energy-consuming production process. That you can then just relax, because reheating twice is out of the question. I couldn’t handle that very well. I have never been a fan of the ‘pump and dump’ phenomenon. It might have given me quite a bit of zest for life (read: glasses of wine) if I had been into that, but I thought throwing away milk was a mortal sin.
Well, that consultation agency. Despite the forgotten vaccination cards, my daughter was allowed to be vaccinated, which of course brought tears to both her and my side. In case you still haven’t noticed, I’m a whiner. As always, we received a pack of brochures upon d

What foods really boost our brain?
We will see what impact nutritional deficiencies have on the appearance of certain disorders… Based on scientific research, we will give you the tips to make the right choices, from the fetal stage if you are pregnant… Because it begins from intrauterine life!
Diet, a real effect on the brain?
Does eating better, adopting a certain type of diet have a real impact on reducing stress, improving sleep, cognitive performance, or preventing a depressive episode? For Guillaume Fond, psychiatrist and researcher at Marseille university hospitals, and specialist in psycho-nutrition, it goes even further: “ We could consider psycho-nutrition as alternative medicine or alternative medicine, even though it is at the heart of the treatment of mental illnesses and prevention in mental health. » Catherine Lacrosnière, nutritionist, adds that if “ Unfortunately diet does not treat, it helps to better prevent and fend off certain risks, in particular the appearance of certain neurodegenerative diseases. »
Pamper your microbiota
Among the first advice given by Guillaume Fond was the microbiota : « The influence of the microbiota on our immune system is perfectly demonstrated. It strengthens it when it is well, and conversely, when it is altered, it will weaken the immune system and trigger chronic inflammation. »
Do without ultra-processed food
Guillaume Fond: “ We have several meta-analyses which demonstrate that in mental health, in 2022/2023, as soon as the proportion of ultra-processed foods exceeds 20% of the

Dementia and a significant daily routine
May 6, 2024 at 3:58 pm
For people with dementia, it often becomes more difficult to structure their day as the process progresses. It remains important for them to experience a sense of meaning as well
to be, to be able to participate and live the best life possible.
What is needed for this purpose and who can support it?
On Thursday 23 May from 7.30pm we would like to discuss significant daily activities for a person with dementia. Consider, for example, specialized daytime activities, which can provide both pleasure and structure to the day. Since the care is carried out during daytime activities (one or more half days per week), the informal caregiver is given time for themselves at that time.
We would like to highlight it from 3 sides:
the person with dementia, the informal caregiver and the professional.
We cordially invite you to discuss and think with us.
The Alzheimer Meeting Point Ermelo is held at De Baanveger, IJsbaanweg 45 in Ermelo.
You are welcome from 7pm. The program starts at 7.30pm and ends around 9.00pm. You can chat until 9.30pm. Entrance is free. And of course there’s room for your qu

Experimental Gene-Editing Treatment Allows College Student to See the World in a New Way
Experimental Gene Editing Treatment Improves Vision in Patients with Inherited Blindness
Innovative CRISPR Therapy Provides Hope for Patients
CNN —
For her entire life, college student Olivia Cook had only a small degree of central vision. It was as if she was watching the world through a straw hole, and in dimly lit places, she could not make out people’s faces, only their silhouettes.
But after receiving an experimental gene-editing treatment to one of her eyes, she now can see things she never saw before.
Cook was born with an inherited retinal disorder that causes blindness, a rare type of eye disorder historically called Leber congenital amaurosis or LCA. A few years ago, she decided to participate in a clinical trial that involved using the gene-editing tool CRISPR to correct the form of inherited blindness that she has.
“My life has mostly changed in terms of being hopeful that there is going to be more science and findings in the future,” said Cook, 22, who is currently studying marketing and product development at Missouri State University in Springfield. She received the experimental gene-editing treatment through a surgery performed on her left eye.
“Now, post-surgery and post-recovery, I am able to see in dimmer lighting with my left
