PMID: 29717755 Abstract Title:  Mediterranean Diet, Food Consumption and Risk of Late-Life Depression: The Mugello Study. Abstract:  OBJECTIVES: To investigate eating habits and adherence to Mediterranean Diet (MD) in relation to the risk of depression in a cohort of nonagenarians enrolled within the Mugello Study, an epidemiological study aimed at investigating both clinically relevant geriatric items and various health issues, including those related to nutritional status. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Homes and nursing homes in the Mugello area, Florence, Italy. PARTICIPANTS: Subjects aged 90-99 years [N=388 (271F; 117M) mean age: 92.7±3.1]. MEASUREMENTS: All subjects were evaluated through questionnaires and instrumental examinations. Adherence to MD was assessed through the Mediterranean Diet Score. A shorter version of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) was used to detect the possible presence of depressive symptoms. In addition, cognitive and functional status was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination, the Clock Drawing Test, as well as the Basic and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living test. RESULTS: Depressed subjects (DS) (GDS score≥5, 43.8%) were older, females and widows, than non-depressed subjects (NDS). DS reported a slightly but not statistically significant lower MD score than NDS (33.9±3.9 vs. 34.6±3.3, p=0.149). Subjects who reported to consume a greater amount of olive oil and fruit were associated with a lower risk of depression (OR=0.35, 95%CI=0.20-0.59, p&lt;0.001 and OR=0.46, 95%CI=0.26-0.84, p=0.011, respectively) after adjustment for many possible confounders. Similar results were obtained for women, while no statistically significant differences emerged for men. CONCLUSION: Our results support the hypothesis that a diet rich in olive oil and fruit, characteristics of MD, may protect against the development of depressive symptoms in older age. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/diet-rich-olive-oil-and-fruit-may-protect-against-development-depressive-sympt#comments Depression Fruit: All Olive Oil Dietary Modification: Mediterranean Diet Depression Dietary Modification: Mediterranean Diet Fruit: All olive oil Risk Reduction Human Study Thu, 31 May 2018 22:22:51 +0000 greenmedinfo 165054 at https://greenmedinfo.com Argan Oil: A Moisturizer So Pure You Could Drink It https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/argan-oil-moisturizer-so-pure-you-could-drink-it <div class="copyright">This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2013<br/><strong><a href="/greenmedinfocom-re-post-guidelines">Visit our Re-post guidelines</a></strong></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><img alt="" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/ken@sinfullywholesome.com/images/argan%20oil%20mosturizer%20pure%20for%20drinking.jpg" style="width: 625px; height: 425px;" /><br /> &nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-30daf4e6-3a77-31ce-f5f8-57e6369fd3db"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Argania Spinosa</span><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> - </span><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The botanical name of the Argan Tree which is endemic to Morocco.</span></span></p><p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/argan-oil-moisturizer-so-pure-you-could-drink-it" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/argan-oil-moisturizer-so-pure-you-could-drink-it#comments Argan Oil Atherosclerosis Cancer: Prostate Cardiovascular Disease Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2: Prevention Hyperlipidemia Malaria Melanoma Postmenopausal Complications Skin Cancer Thrombus Anti-Inflammatory Agents Anti-Proliferative Bowel/Colon Health Cancer Cold and Flu Food Freedom Food Philosophy For Goodness Sake GMOs Health Guide: Aging Health Guide: Breast Cancer Health Guide: Herbs and Traditional Knowledge Health Guide: Medicinal Spices Health Guide: Mental Health Health Guide: Obesity and Dieting Health Guide: Statin Drugs Health Guides: Healing Foods Heart Health Infant and Children's Heatlh Men's Health Women's Health Acne Antiaging Antioxidant Antioxidants Argan.
