The beginning of the irregular cycles movement!! Get round it!☺️🧠💪🏼

Menstrual cycle irregularities can be both cause and consequence of wide-ranging health issues.
Embracing this complexity could reveal novel brain–body interactions and advance neuroscience.

Why we still don’t understand what happens to women’s bodies during labour
We know more about the mechanics of space than of childbirth. With no studies or evidence, care is based on assumptions, and women are paying the price.

Eating a diet high in specific types of nutrients — including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, unsaturated fats, nuts, legumes, and low-fat dairy products — is associated with improved physical and mental health in older age, according to a study in Nature Medicine. #medsky 🧪
Optimal dietary patterns for healthy aging - Nature Medicine
In two longitudinal cohorts followed for 30 years, the associations of eight different dietary patterns with healthy aging—encompassing cognitive, physical and mental health—were studied, identifying food constituents linked to greater or lesser odds of healthy aging.
