Excited to share our latest paper, just published in the Journal of Ageing and Longevity: “The Effect of Boosting Dietary Lactobacillus and Phytochemical Rich Foods on Biomarkers of Longevity—A Phase II Randomised Placebo Controlled Trial.” mdpi.com/2673-9259/6/2/35 In this double-blind randomised controlled trial involving 208 older men with untreated early prostate cancer on active surveillance, we found that boosting phytochemical-rich foods was associated with improved grip strength over 4 months, and that the addition of a Lactobacillus probiotic was linked to even greater improvements in grip strength, lower neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and higher testosterone at trial completion. Grip strength is a practical and meaningful marker of health span and ageing, so these findings add to the growing interest in how diet, gut health, and targeted nutritional strategies may influence functional ageing. Importantly, the interventions were also well tolerated. This work highlights the potential synergy between phytochemical-rich foods and probiotics, and points to the need for larger and longer studies using more definitive clinical outcomes. Congratulations to my co-authors and collaborators on bringing this study to publication. #Research #HealthyAgeing #Longevity #Nutrition #GutHealth #Probiotics #Phytochemicals #GripStrength #ProstateCancer #ExerciseMedicine

I disagree. The rubric mentions nothing about citing other sources with no marks attributed to reflecting on the paper in the context of contemporary literature. Policies vary across institutions but instructions must be clear to students and consider diversity of understanding
Replying to @Alonso_GD
I hate to agree with RWers, but Phil is right. The instructions explicitly say you don’t need to cite outside sources; you read the selection and write your personal reaction.

People living with mental illness may be at higher risk of heart disease due to the impacts of depression, anxiety, stress & their associated treatments, on the body. If you or someone you care for is living with mental illness, then prioritising heart health may be lifesaving!

Did you know? People living with mental illness are more likely to have poorer physical health, yet they receive less accessible and lower quality health care than the rest of the population. Join the Equally Well movement: equallywell.org.au

Mental health services should include physical health care checks as part of routine care, and emphasise healthy lifestyle choices. Physical health is a vital piece of the mental health puzzle 🧩 Let’s work together to make a change! equallywell.org.au
