Increased intake of carbohydrates reduces risk of depression
A recent paper published in Nature Human Behavior explored the effect of dietary carbohydrate intake on depression using genetic information from more than 400000 people and found that increasing carbohydrate intake in the daily diet can reduce the risk of depression.
There was an association between an increased percentage of carbohydrate calories and a reduced risk of depression. Given the effect of daily diet on obesity, the study further found that increasing dietary carbohydrate intake reduced body mass index (BMI), and that lowering BMI further reduced the risk of depression. This result reveals a causal relationship between carbohydrate intake and depression, and provides a theoretical basis for using dietary interventions to prevent depression.

Whenever summer comes, there are always some friends who are afraid to reach out or wear beautiful sandals because of their gray nails.

It can manifest as cloudy, thickened, rough, separated, discolored, atrophied, peeling, buckling, uneven surface and nail furrow inflammation.
Wang Shiqi of the Department of Dermatology at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital reminds that nail fungus is contagious and can be prevented by the following measures: good personal hygiene, reducing direct contact with patients with ringworm, ringworm, nail fungus and tinea capitis, not sharing nail clippers and not blindly going to informal places for pedicures. When you go out to stay, reduce sharing slippers, bath towels, bedding, etc., and do not go barefoot. Don't wear shoes that are too tight and thick, keep them clean and dry to be ventilated and breathable; dry your feet and toe joints after bathing; avoid nail trauma.
