NPR: 9 unexpected things we learned about mental health and our brains in 2024…
🔹
#2. Your gut microbes may influence how you handle stress
🔹
The gut microbiome — the ecosystem of tiny organisms inside us all — has emerged as fertile new territory for studying a range of psychiatric conditions and neurological diseases.
🔹
Research has demonstrated the brain and gut are in constant communication and that changes in the microbiome are linked to mood and mental health. Now a study published this month in Nature Mental Health finds distinct biological signatures in the microbiomes of people who are highly resilient in the face of stressful events.
🔹
“The accuracy with which these patterns emerged was really amazing,” says Arpana Church, a neuroscientist at UCLA’s Goodman-Luskin Microbiome Center who led the new study.
🔹
The research is a jumping off point for future human studies that some researchers believe could ultimately lead to treatments. It may also point the way to biomarkers in the microbiome that can help tailor decisions on how to use existing therapies in mental health

TIME: Why Gut Health Issues Are More Common in Women
🔹
“This much is known: Reproductive hormones may play a role.” The female hormones estrogen and progesterone have a profound effect on the GI tract in terms of motility, pain sensitization, and how the brain delivers messages to the GI tract,”… As a result, women may experience flare-ups of GI disorders at certain times of the month (such as during menstruation) or during pregnancy.
🔹
For another thing, “women have a more easily activated immune system than men do,”…. This is significant because immune function, including inflammatory processes, plays a role in celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease.
🔹
What’s more, the gastrointestinal tract itself is longer in women, and that difference in length can affect transit time through the GI tract… In addition, women’s stomachs empty slightly more slowly than men’s do—“why that is isn’t known,”… but it may explain women’s greater susceptibility to gastroparesis. Research also suggests that the intestine’s nerve cells are more sluggish in women, which may be why IBS and gastroparesis are more common in women.
🔹
Another possible contributing factor has to do with psychological issues. “Anxiety and depression, which are more common in women than men, can worsen the severity of disordered gut function… Feeling stressed or depressed or anxious is linked with how our guts work.” When you’re stressed out or anxious, you may be more likely to experience flare-ups of these GI disorders.”

“Clever reason Paris 2024 Olympic athletes have dark circles on their backs”🏊🏼‍♂️
🔹
“Italy's Martinenghi snatched the victory bearing dark red circles on his back. The strange marks haven't gone unnoticed by Olympics fans...
🔹
“Have you ever seen swimmers and other athletes at the Olympics with those big round marks on their body? Well that’s dry cupping and I promise it doesn’t hurt,” while another added: “When you’re watching the Olympics and thinking ‘What an odd birthmark...’ oh right it’s the Olympics, they’re cupping.”
🔹
“So what is it, exactly? Cupping is an ancient therapy where heated cups are places on the skin. It’s a form of acupuncture, where flammable liquid is lit in a glass cup.
🔹
“The first records of cupping date back to more than 3,500 years ago, when it is thought to have been used by Egyptians. When the oxygen is burnt away, it creates a vacuum which sticks the cup to the body, and sucks the skin up - drawing blood to the surface. After the treatment, the red spots, created by the suction, usually last for three to four days. These are created due to the ruptured capillaries beneath Cupping is thought to reduce soreness and speed the healing of overworked muscles - which explains why it’s often used by Olympians. US gymnast Alexander Naddour told USA Today back in 2016 that cupping was “the secret” to his health. He added: “It’s been better than any money I’ve spent on anything else.”

📸: Nicolò Martinenghi (Italian), Martinenghi having won the the gold medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics in the Men’s 100m breaststroke final, is seen with cupping marks on his back.

Training hard? Consider cupping.
🔹
Whether you exercise recreationally or competitively, intense gym sessions take a toll on your muscles, joints, & nervous system. Increasing blood flow to your worked muscles is one of the best ways to speed up muscle recovery after a workout.
🔹
Cupping can shorten your recovery time and optimize your training plan by delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to hard-worked muscles.

🧧🐲 Celebrated by more than 2 billion people, today is the start of the Lunar New Year, marking the Year of the Dragon.

Those born in the Year of the Dragon tend to be natural leaders, confident, idealistic, intelligent, energetic, adventurous, and ambitious — however, they can also be temperamental, arrogant, and impulsive.

It’s forecasted that those born in the year of the Dragon (2024, 2012, 2000, 1988, 1976, 1964, 1952, 1940, etc.) will face more challenges, changes, and opportunities this year (but you got this!).

Wishing everyone good luck, health, and prosperity in 2024! May you get rich and *stay* rich.
