modern 64 wellness Elderly Don’t Start Depression Treatment Quickly Research has found that despite the wide availability of effective treatments for depression and a growing effort to detect and begin treating depression during primary care visits, just about one-third of newly diagnosed patients start treatment. The study, that appears in the ‘Journal of General Internal Medicine’, also found that patients who were 60 years or older at the time of diagnosis were less likely to begin treatment as patients under the age of 44. Stigma was one of the reasons for it. For patients who did initiate treatment, more than 80% started antidepressant medication rather than psychotherapy. The researchers found that older patients were less likely to choose psychotherapy. Only about 7% of patients age 75 and older chose it as compared to 25% of younger patients. Researchers say that a lot more work needs to be done to understand why many depressed patients do not begin treatment quickly. Pets Boost Mental Health A new study, published in ‘BMC Psychiatry’, conducted by researchers from the universities of Liverpool, Manchester and Southampton, suggests that pets provide benefits to those with mental health conditions. The researchers systematically reviewed 17 international research papers to identify the impact of pet ownership and found that pets contributed in a multifaceted way to managing a mental health condition, particularly in times of crisis. There was also an intense connectivity between the people and their companion animals. Says researcher Dr Helen Brooks, “Our review suggests that pets provide benefits to those with mental health conditions. Further research is required to test the nature and extent of this relationship, incorporating outcomes that cover the range of roles and types of support pets confer in relation to mental health, and the means by which these can be incorporated into the mainstay of support for people experiencing a mental health problem.” - Greg Anderson Wellness seeks more than the absence of illness; it searches for new levels of excellence. Organic Diet Good For The Planet New research has found that a diet high in fruit and vegetables is better for the planet than one high in animal products, and that organic food provides significant, additional climate benefits for plant-based diets. The new research, published in the journal ‘Frontiers in Nutrition’, looked for a comprehensive picture of how different diets impact the environment and found that while organic food added environmental benefits for a plant-based diet, it did not do so to diets with high contribution from animal products. The authors also say it will be important to conduct further studies to expand our understanding of how the entire food production lifecycle impacts sustainability. yourwellness.com • Volume VII • Issue I • June 2018
- Native American Wisdom The soul holds the secrets to healing. When Pomegranate Meant Marriage The pomegranate, with its juicy, ruby-red seeds, has been a source of food and herbal medicines for thousands of years. The ancient Romans considered it a symbol of marriage, and brides decked themselves in pomegranatetwig wreaths as a symbol of richness and fertility - out of one fruit could come many more! The fruit is also considered to represent eternity and has been represented in many old artworks, paintings, sculptures and decorative arts. Painters of the Renaissance era showed a pomegranate in the hand of the baby Christ as a symbol of the new life offered to humanity. Why Charaka Recommended Onion Onion has been cultivated for more than 5000 years. The ‘Charaka Samhita’, the Compendium on Ayurveda in ancient India by physician and scholar Charaka, glorifies the onion as being therapeutic. It is said to be a diuretic, excellent for digestion, good for heart, eyes and joints. Dried onions are a rich source of fibre and natural healthy sulfur compounds. Onions also contain phytochemicals named flavonoids, which maximise the benefits of vitamin C in keeping arteries flexible. This aids our cardiovascular system. Chromium in onion helps diabetic cells help balance the insulin level and rectify glucose tolerance. The anti-inflammatory properties in onion are also effective in lowering the risk of gout and arthritis. ancient wellness Liquid Gold Of The Greeks! Described as ‘Liquid Gold’ in Greek epic poetry, olive oil was listed as medicine by Hippocrates. Ancient Greeks used it for cooking as also a part of their beauty regimen. A wonderful moisturiser, it penetrates deep below the skin’s surface for longer hydration. It is also loaded with antioxidants like Vitamin A and E that help fight off free radicals. Its light texture makes it non-sticky and can be used for all skin types. Olive oil also improves skin health by treating inflammation, acne, and protecting the skin from psoriasis. Massaging your face with a few drops of olive oil is also known to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. 65 June 2018 • Issue I • Volume VII • yourwellness.com
