The Effects of Obesity on the Immune System and Kidney and Liver Diseases

Improving the immune system of older people (UCL research)

health No Comments »

As we age our immune systems decline. Older people suffer from increased incidence and severity of both infections and cancer. In addition, vaccination becomes less efficient with age. Researchers from UCL have demonstrated how an interplay between nutrition, metabolism and immunity is involved in the process of ageing. The two new studies could help to enhance our immunity to disease through dietary intervention and help make existing immune system therapies more effective.

What 100,000+ Children Taught Us About Neglect in Early Childhood

health No Comments »

Neglect in the first few years of a child’s life can have many adverse consequences, and one of the largest studies on these effects occurred after the Romanian Revolution in 1989.

Childhood Trauma: The Lives of the Neglected Children

health No Comments »

Children who experience physical, cognitive or emotional neglect, often face anxiety. As a result, their body produces stress hormones. If this happens a lot, these hormones become toxic for their developing brain, which then later can repress emotional and cognitive well-being for life.

Non profit of Daniel Rucareanu: https://www.facebook.com/federeii/

TREATMENTS
If a child is used to suppressing their emotions, because of neglect, it may be difficult to recognize and experience them in a healthy way. Therapists and mental health professionals can help both children and adults learn to identify, accept, and express their emotions in a healthful manner. These treatment options include:
1. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT): CBT aims to explain to you what’s going on inside your brain and how to cope with irrational feelings or fears.
2. The Hoffman Process: This 7-8 day’s guided process, designed to bring participants back into their childhood to reconnect with their parents and make peace.
3. Family therapy: If a child is being emotionally neglected at home, family therapy can help both the parents and the child.
4. Parenting classes: Parents who neglect their child’s emotional needs could benefit from parenting classes.
5. Psychoanalysis: The aim of psychoanalysis therapy is to release repressed emotions and experiences, i.e., make the unconscious conscious.

The Immune System

health No Comments »

This video describes the Immune System and explains how it detects and attacks any foreign organism that enters the body.

We learn how the team in the MRC Centre for Transplantation at King’s College London have developed a way to harness the power of the Immune System after a transplant, whilst maintaining the body’s capacity to resist infectious diseases.

Produced by Figment Productions.

Why is it important to prevent early childhood malnutrition?

health No Comments »

The first 1,000 days of life are critical for children to reach their full potential. Kavita Sethuraman, Senior Advisor for Maternal and Child Health and Nutrition at FHI 360, discusses the long-term consequences of child malnutrition. She addresses the need to prevent these impacts by improving infant feeding and focusing on nutrition for adolescent girls and pregnant or postpartum women.

There is a problem that many children around the world have been facing for a very long time: food insecurity.

This happens when children are living in a home that doesn’t have enough food for them and their family members to live on. Due to food insecurity, members of a family living under the same roof have to share their meager resources, resulting in malnutrition and hungry children as well as adults.

Child hunger is a problem that plagues not only those living in third world countries but those living below the poverty line in developed countries as well. Low-income families in the UK and the US have to go without basic needs like food. Around the world, more than 60 million children go to school hungry. That is an alarming number, considering the long-term effects that hunger has on a child.

We all know what hunger feels like, but what happens to our bodies if we stop eating? What exactly is the science behind starvation?

How Long Can a Person Survive Without Food?
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-long-can-a-person-sur/
“The duration of survival without food is greatly influenced by factors such as body weight, genetic variation, other health considerations and, most importantly, the presence or absence of dehydration. For total starvation in healthy individuals receiving adequate hydration, reliable data on survival are hard to obtain.”

The Psychology of Hunger
http://www.apa.org/monitor/2013/10/hunger.aspx
“In November 1944, 36 young men took up residence in the corridors and rooms of the University of Minnesota football stadium. They were not members of the football team. Rather, they were volunteers preparing for a nearly yearlong experiment on the psychological and physiological effects of starvation. Known as the Minnesota Starvation Experiment, the study was a project of the newly established Laboratory of Physiological Hygiene at the University of Minnesota, an interdisciplinary research institution with an emphasis on nutrition and human biology.”

Brain Foods: The Effects of Nutrients on Brain Function
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2805706/
“It has long been suspected that the relative abundance of specific nutrients can affect cognitive processes and emotions. Newly described influences of dietary factors on neuronal function and synaptic plasticity have revealed some of the vital mechanisms that are responsible for the action of diet on brain health and mental function. Several gut hormones that can enter the brain, or that are produced in the brain itself, influence cognitive ability.”
