Although genetics may play a large part in the health of your brain over time, researchers are finding that what we eat matters as well. © Provided by Eat This, Not That! pouring extra virgin olive oil on a veggie salad For example, according to Advances in Nutrition, there is a definite connection between what you eat and the risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia, although researchers are still looking into the specifics of why this connection occurs. With information like this, we can focus on eating food that will help cognitive function in the long run, regardless of age.But what foods are truly best for brain health, and is there a specific diet we can follow? When we asked Amy Goodson, MS, RD, CSSD, LD, author of The Sports Nutrition Playbook, and a new member of our medical expert board, she said hands down the best diet for the brain is the MIND diet.What is the MIND Diet? © Provided by Eat This, Not That! olive oil on salad "The MIND diet is an absolute win for your brain," says Goodson. Evidently, the research agrees with her completely. This fairly new eating plan was created by Martha Clare Morris as a result of a research study she led that observed elderly participants between the ages of 58 and 93. Since then, the MIND diet has been continually showing positive results with prolonging cognitive decline and lowering the risk of Alzheimer's disease."Known as the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay, MIND combines the Mediterranean diet, which is rich in healthy fats, vegetables, and whole grains with the DASH diet, which is designed to help stop hypertension (high blood pressure) and is loaded with fruits and vegetables," says Goodson.According to Rush University Medical Center, Morris' findings revealed that the participants who "rigorously'" followed the diet decreased their risk of Alzheimer's Disease by 53%, and those who followed it "moderately" lowered it by 35%.The focus of the MIND diet is simply to eat foods that keep your brain healthy, and limit or stay away from the foods that don't."MIND is designed to decrease oxidative stress and inflammation, which can ultimately have negative effects on the brain," says Goodson.RELATED: Best Supplements For Your Brain, According to DietitiansHow to follow the MIND dietAccording to Goodson, The MIND diet recommends including the following foods in your diet on a regular basis or as much as you can:BerriesGreen leafy vegetablesAll other vegetablesNutsFishOlive oilWhole grainsBeansPoultryWine (Yes, wine! In moderation, of course.)According to Harvard Health, the foods that help your brain health are the same foods that are healthy for your heart, which is why we see a lot of the foods under the MIND diet consisting of healthy fats. For example, fatty fish like salmon and tuna are full of omega-3 fatty acids, which can lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease. For the MIND diet, it is recommended to get at least one serving of fish per week.Nuts are another nutritious snack known to help the brain. According to a research study published in The Journal of Nutrition, daily intake of walnuts can help improve cognitive function.The Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics lays out some specifics for how often to eat these items if you're following the MIND diet rigorously. You should stick to about three servings of whole grains each day, with at least one salad and another serving of veggies. They also recommend having chicken at least two times a week, and yep, a glass of red wine each day made the list! Get even more healthy tips straight to your inbox by signing up for our newsletter!

Author Shawn T Murphy has been studying mental health for over 45 years. He has recently published "Torn Between Two Worlds: Modern Medicine and Spiritual Healing" to bring attention to alternative treatments and causes of mental illness and to encourage others to have empathy for silent sufferers. In the first three books in the Torn Between Two Worlds series, Murphy established a framework for human dualism. In the fourth book, Murphy moved from a philosophical discussion to a hands-on, self-help presentation, providing helpful answers to everyday issues. In the first half of his new book, Murphy defines the possible spiritual illnesses that can affect individuals. These are the underlying causes that are either unrecognized or misdiagnosed by the medical community. The second half of the book provides many ways to increase one's spiritual strength and increase resistance to the negativity that a person may be subjected to. Murphy lets readers know that every human being can aspire to their full potential regardless of their current state of spiritual health they may find themselves in. Readers will also discover the various tools to overcome the spiritual afflictions that one may suffer from. At the end of this book, readers will have a guide as to how these available tools can be implemented in their life. "Most surgical procedures today have high success rates, yet the success modern medicine has had treating mental illness is nowhere near as successful," said Murphy. "In the materialistic world we live in today, we tend to ignore our spiritual selves and have forgotten how to foster spiritual wellness." "Torn Between Two Worlds: Modern Medicine and Spiritual Healing" covers a full spectrum of spiritual illnesses and strives to help those who are living adjacent to sufferers recognize symptoms and seek alternative treatments. It is Murphy's hope that with his book readers will gain a greater appreciation for the spiritual gifts one comes into the world with and how to nurture them.

Here are 5 healthy snacks suggested by celebrity nutritionist Ryan Fernando that could curb your cravings for unhealthy food. By Parmita Uniyal PUBLISHED ON AUG 29, 2021 01:35 PM IST Is snacking in between the meals a bad thing or good? This is the frequently asked question that people ask health experts or nutritionists. A lot depends on your motivation, say health studies. If you are genuinely hungry, or consume healthy and small portions of food throughout the day it is not harmful, but if boredom, temptation, emotional eating is your motivation, and you choose packaged food high on saturated fat, salt, or sugar to fulfill the craving, snacking can be the villain of your life."Snacking isn't harmful for you as long as you don't eat unhealthy items. Rather it can help you stay fuller for longer and reduce your cravings for unhealthy foods," says celebrity nutritionist Ryan Fernando.When we are not mindful about our eating choices, we pick the wrong snacks off the shelf, and that could result in weight gain and lead to many health problems. "Most products now say "healthy" on the label but are often high in added sugar and unhealthy fats. Snack options such as chips offer no or little nutritional value but are loaded with fats, sodium and are high in calories," adds Fernando.ALSO READ: Top reasons you are not losing weightWhy we feel the urge to snack in between the meals?It could be for a variety of reasons from nutritional deficiencies to genetics."This could be because of existing nutritional deficiencies or a lack of certain nutrients in your diet. For example, if you have an urge to snack on chocolate, you may have magnesium deficiency in the body, which can be fulfilled by having nuts, seeds and fruits," says Fernando. + View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ryan Fernando (@ryan_nutrition_coach) "Genetics also plays a major role. You might have a gene that pokes you to eat every now and then. Do your gene test to discover if you have that gene and plan your diet accordingly," he says.Fernando also suggests 5 healthy snacks that can act as substitute for unhealthy snacks and help you lose weight:1. Fruit instead of candy or chocolateFruits are naturally high in antioxidants, fibre and water content and low in fat, sodium and calorie which helps keep you nourished and feel fuller for longer time. Not to mention who doesn’t love a fresh bowl of fruits. Fruits(Unsplash) 2. Popcorn instead of chipsFried chips are full of sodium and empty calories. Instead pop some maize and treat yourself to a delicious low calorie, fibre-rich snack which satisfies your appetite and at the same time adds variety to your diet. Popcorn(Unsplash) 3. Peanut butter toast instead of biscuitsNut butters are a source of good fats in your diet, that help to maintain good cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure and are also good for your heart health. A teaspoon of peanut butter or almond butter on a multigrain or millet toast makes for a crunchy snack. Peanut butter(Unsplash) 4. Cut carrots or cucumber instead of potato fries or wedgeIf you are craving for those salty French fries, what your body actually needs is water, so choose high water content foods like cucumber or carrot and cut them up like sticks. Serve them with a hummus or hung curd dip which is a good protein source. These healthy sticks are also rich in fibre, antioxidants thus keeping you nourished and full. Carrots and cucumbers are healthy snacks(Unsplash) 5. Fox Nut or puffed rice and chana instead of NamkeensNamkeens are another high sodium, high fat, high calorie unhealthy snacks which can be replaced with fox nuts or puffed rice and chana mixture. As they are rich in fibre, they will keep you full. Along with that they are also a good source of nutrients like iron, magnesium, zinc which keep you energised.Follow more stories on Facebook & Twitter Topics healthy snacking TRENDING TOPICS Kabul Attacks Horoscope Today Taliban Gold Price Covid vaccine The Empire Review India vs England Chehre Movie Review Read more 4 TIPS TO HELP EASE KIDS’ BACK TO SCHOOL ANXIETY Mind Health - August 25, 2021 0 Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, one in five kids in the U.S. has experienced anxiety, according to data published this month in JAMA Pediatrics, a medical journal.Now with most kids returning to school in-person this year amid the delta variant and as mask mandate debates continue throughout the country, it is to be expected that anxiety and stress levels may again be on the rise, experts say.“We need to make space for the fact that kids may be experiencing very new things," said Dave Anderson, Ph.D., vice president of school and community programs at the Child Mind Institute, an organization dedicated to mental health work with children and families. "It's really important to say, 'Just because we're excited to be returning to some sense of normalcy, what do I need to support you around? What might you be nervous about?'"Editor's PicksLeena and Sunil Saini, of Newtown, Pennsylvania, said they are in the midst of anxiety-inducing change as they send their daughters, Kirina and Ela, to school after socially isolating together for the past 18 months."We've been in this protective bubble until now and now we’re sending them out into the world," said Leena Saini, whose husband, Sunil, is also returning to work in-person. "Sending them back to school now, it's kind of anxiety-provoking, and what's hard is we as parents are anxious, but don't want to transfer that anxiety to our kids."Leena and Sunil Saini, of Newtown, Pennsylvania, pose with their daughters Kirina and Ela in this undated family photo.Here are four tips from Anderson to help the anxiety families like the Sainis are experiencing in this time of big changes.1. Stay calm and open with your child.While parents like the Sainis' may be worried about pushing their own anxiety onto their children, Anderson said it is okay for parents to talk to a certain extent with their kids about how they're feeling.“The answer is always something in moderation," said Anderson. "We don't want a parent to fully suppress everything that they're feeling."When talking with their kids about school, parents should try not to ask leading questions, like, "Are you nervous about going back to school?" according to the Child Mind Institute's back to school guide.Anderson recommends parents listen to and validate their child's feelings by telling them, "We know you're going to have feelings. Those feelings are very valid. Let's focus on the things that might you might be optimistic about this particular change, and then beyond that, we're just going to take it as it comes.”And parents themselves can help to ease their own anxiety by, first, taking a deep breath, according to Anderson. He noted that parents may also find it helpful to review the procedures their child's school has put in place to help ease their worries.2. Reassure your child you'll still have time with them.For many families, the pandemic lockdown meant more time together than they were used to spending. For some children, adjusting back to the routine of being apart during the day may prove difficult, according to Anderson.“We can say to kids, 'Even as I go back to the office, maybe those days where you see me less, know that I have valued this time where we've been able to see each other, and there will still be days when that rhythm is still kind of there,'" he said. "And I think kids get comforted by that.”VIDEO: 1 in 5 kids experienced anxiety during the pandemic: Study3. Talk to your child about things to do to stay safe.Wearing face masks and taking other safety measures against COVID-19 may be anxiety-inducing for some students who are being asked by their parents to do so when their peers are not.Especially when it comes to masks, which have become a heated debate in some school districts, parents should have conversations with their child ahead of time, according to Anderson."It's going back and saying to the child, 'Well, look, we've made the decision that you're going to wear a mask. We're going to find you a good fitting one,'" said Anderson, who added that parents can also talk to their child about when they can take mask breaks and the fact that some classmates may be unmasked. "And the reality is that any child who's in a mixed-mask environment is going to feel comfortable fairly quickly with that norm, likely even more quickly than adults."4. Focus on sleep, diet and movement.In addition to focusing on kids' feelings, parents should also pay attention to what their kids are eating and how much sleep and movement they're getting, according to Anderson.Those elements of an overall healthy lifestyle can help children, and parents, cope with stress."It's going back to basic wellness habits. Get some sleep, make sure you're feeding yourself, make sure you're moving your body in some way and that you're getting some sort of social support," said Anderson. "If you can check off those boxes a bit, you're going to be better able to confront the challenges.”Bonus tips:Encourage flexibility.A lesson from the pandemic is that anything can change at any time, so parents should prepare their children to be flexible and prepared for potential changes with school, according to the Child Mind Institute's back to school guide."It’s helpful for kids to know that you’re prepared for changes that may occur. Let your child know that the whole family is going to have to be flexible," the guide recommends.Know when to seek help.Parents can look for several behavior changes in their child that signal it is time to seek professional mental health help.Those changes include having severe meltdowns at drop-off time for more than two or three weeks, and being unable to recover or to even stay at school, for more than three or four weeks, or having school-related worries that cause repeated headaches and stomachaches, constant visits to the school nurse, or refusal to go to school, according to the Child Mind Institute.
