Antidepressants can be effective for treating a number of conditions, but the choice to start and stop one is very individual. And while antidepressants can help you feel better, they can also have mental and physical side effects.

If youre thinking of getting off your antidepressant, there could be benefits to you. To ensure these benefits outweigh the drawbacks, its important to talk with a healthcare provider before stopping your antidepressant use.

Most medications have some side effects. Antidepressants are no different, particularly when taken in the long term.

According to a 2020 review article, those who take a common type of antidepressant, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), can experience physical side effects, such as:

These side effects were reported with long-term use of antidepressants and could worsen with age.

Some other antidepressant types include:

Antidepressants can cause sexual side effects that range from lessened sexual desire to difficulty achieving orgasm.

An estimated 25 to 80 percent of people who take antidepressants will experience some change in their sexual function within the first 2 to 6 weeks after starting an antidepressant. Its also important to note that up to 70 percent of people with depression are at risk for developing sexual dysfunction as well. So youll want to take that into consideration when weighing whether to stop taking your medication.

Symptoms will usually go away by week 12 of antidepressant use for about 30 percent of those who experience sexual side effects. However, they dont go away for everyone.

In most instances, stopping antidepressants will return a persons sexual function back to pre-antidepressant levels.

Many people who take antidepressants report gaining weight.

However, those who take the antidepressant bupropion (Wellbutrin) may also experience weight loss.

Theres less information on what happens regarding your weight and stopping antidepressants.

Because some medical professionals theorize that antidepressants increase hunger and food cravings by adjusting neurotransmitters, its possible that stopping antidepressants could make you feel less hungry.

If you decrease your daily calorie intake as a result, you could potentially lose weight by stopping your antidepressants.

On the other hand, if you experience loss of appetite with depression, and your depression comes back after stopping antidepressants, you may also lose weight.

Other potential side effects that may lessen if you stop taking antidepressants include:

Again, this will depend on what medicines youre currently taking.

Long-term antidepressant use can also have drawbacks on a persons mental health.

Some medications can affect your ability to feel emotions (for example, make you feel numb). It may also affect a persons autonomy by making them feel dependent on medical help.

Someone may also be at greater risk for experiencing withdrawal or discontinuation symptoms the longer they take the medication. This can vary based on the medication(s) being taken.

If you suddenly stop taking antidepressants, you may experience discontinuation symptoms, which is similar to withdrawal symptoms, but refers to stopping the use of medication rather than addictive agents.

You may notice a rapid onset with some medications, such as paroxetine (Paxil), while other medications may take a few days for symptoms to arise. This can be true too if you skip doses, or refrain from taking full doses.

Many doctors use the mnemonic aid FINISH to describe common antidepressant withdrawal symptoms. These include:

Most healthcare providers will recommend gradually tapering antidepressant doses over the course of several weeks. However, some medications may require longer periods of tapering, such as paroxetine and venlafaxine.

Medications with a longer half-life such as fluoxetine may not require an extended tapering schedule.

The symptoms from weaning off antidepressants are, for the most part, mild and will go away over time.

In a sample of more than 250 people who stopped taking antidepressants, 20 percent reported stopping to be very easy, while a little more than 50 percent said it was fairly easy.

You shouldnt stop taking antidepressants without first talking with your doctor. Your doctor knows important factors like:

Thats why its important to consult with your doctor, so you can work on a tapering plan together or determine if going off antidepressants is the right move at this time.

Because there are risks for rebound effects where your depression symptoms worsen when you stop taking the medicine its also important for your doctor to discuss these with you. You can create a plan of action for what to do if this happens.

If you and your doctor determine that now isnt the best time to go off antidepressants, there are some steps you can take to minimize your medications side effects.

This includes seeking wellness whenever possible, like:

You may wish to consult your doctor or a dietitian for individual tips on maintaining your health while taking antidepressants.

If you need a first or second opinion on whether staying on antidepressants is right for you, consider the following resources:

When you first start discussing reducing your antidepressant dose with your doctor, youll also want to ask them what you can expect. Knowing possible side effects of getting off your antidepressant can help you be prepared.

Ask them about the types of symptoms that may occur that would require calling a doctor or seeking medical help.

For some symptoms, such as thoughts of self-harm or suicide, you should seek crisis interventions or emergency help right away.

Theres some evidence that suggests that suddenly stopping antidepressants can result in depression symptoms sometimes ones that are even worse than before.

If at any time youre not sure if a symptom is normal or safe, you should contact a healthcare provider. They can advise you if you should start taking your medicine again and in what dosage, or discuss an alternative plan.

Taking antidepressants can cause side effects that may affect the way a person feels mentally and physically.

If you use antidepressants in combination with other treatments such as talk therapy and wellness tools you may want to talk about if or when you can stop taking the antidepressants.

Because theres a risk for symptoms when stopping an antidepressant, a doctor can recommend how to taper safely. Ideally, this can help you enjoy the benefits of quitting antidepressants without the drawbacks.

Benefits of Getting Off Antidepressants: What to Know - Healthline

People can experience shortness of breath while walking for a number of reasons. Sometimes, this occurs as a result of conditions such as anxiety, asthma, or obesity.

Less commonly, shortness of breath signals a more serious underlying medical condition.

In this article, we will discuss what shortness of breath is, its causes, how to manage it, and when to seek help.

Shortness of breath, or dyspnea, is a sensation of uncomfortable breathing. It can feel different from person to person, and it can vary in intensity. People may feel out of breath or as if breathing takes more effort than usual.

Dyspnea can be acute or chronic. Acute dyspnea lasts from a few hours to a few days, whereas chronic dyspnea lasts for more than 48 weeks.

Physical activity, such as walking, may trigger or worsen shortness of breath for some people.

Shortness of breath is different from finding it difficult to breathe. People who are struggling to breathe should call 911 or their local emergency department for immediate medical help.

Anxiety is a common mental health condition that can cause shortness of breath, along with many other symptoms, such as:

People with anxiety may feel persistently on edge, which may lead to regularly feeling tired or short of breath.

People with anxiety often respond to mental health treatment, which can improve their quality of life. This may involve:

Learn more about treatment for anxiety here.

Asthma is a common condition that has varying levels of severity. For some people, it causes mild, occasional symptoms that only occur in response to certain triggers. In other cases, exercise is a trigger, which may mean people will experience symptoms while walking.

Symptoms of asthma include:

People with asthma often also have hay fever or eczema.

Not all asthma requires medical treatment. Some people may be able to manage their symptoms by avoiding things that trigger their symptoms, such as tobacco, dust mites, animals, or pollen. If a person has obesity and asthma, reaching a moderate weight may reduce symptoms.

If a person needs medical treatment, a doctor will often prescribe bronchodilators or anti-inflammatory medication.

Obesity is a condition where people carry excess weight or body fat that may have an impact on their health. People who have obesity are more at risk of other conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and high blood pressure.

People with obesity may also have:

People who have obesity should work with their doctor or dietitian to follow a healthful, balanced diet. Sometimes, it may help to address any underlying mental health conditions with a therapist.

Some people with obesity may take weight loss medications or undergo surgery, such as a sleeve gastrectomy.

Heart arrhythmia is a condition where a persons heart has an irregular rhythm. Some people with heart arrhythmia do not experience any symptoms, while others do.

Symptoms of heart arrhythmia include:

Treatment for heart arrhythmia depends on the type of arrhythmia a person has. Doctors may prescribe medication to stop, prevent, or control arrhythmia.

In some cases, people may need a pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, which monitors heart rhythms and helps the heart beat at a normal rate.

Other people may need cardioversion, which involves using an electrical current to restore the heart into natural rhythm. Another possible procedure is a catheter ablation, which destroys any tissue that is diseased and causes arrhythmia.

Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs. The infection can occur as a result of bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Symptoms of pneumonia include:

People can treat mild pneumonia at home. Doctors may prescribe antibiotics, antiviral drugs, or antifungal medication. People can also buy over-the-counter medicines to treat any fever or muscle pain.

Some people may need hospital treatment. A hospital can provide antibiotics and fluids through an intravenous line and provide oxygen therapy to increase the amount of oxygen in the blood.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common condition where people progressively find it harder to breathe.

The most common cause of COPD is long-term exposure to cigarette smoke. However, exposure to other types of air pollutants can also cause it.

Symptoms of COPD include:

Doctors can treat mild cases of COPD with bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and antibiotics. People with severe COPD and people who require hospitalization may require oxygen and bronchodilator therapy.

Some people with COPD may need surgery, such as a bullectomy, or lung transplantation.

Pulmonary embolism is a condition that occurs when the blood flow in the pulmonary artery becomes disrupted. The most common symptoms of pulmonary embolism include:

There are many different causes of and risk factors for a pulmonary embolism. It can be more likely in people who take particular types of birth control or during pregnancy, for example.

If a person thinks they have pulmonary embolism, they should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Most people with pulmonary embolism can take anticoagulant medication, which should allow them to make a full recovery.

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a term that refers to a group of lung disorders that have similar causes. This condition may occur due to long-term exposure to environmental factors, such as toxic gases.

ILD may also be the result of autoimmune conditions, certain medications, and other diseases, such as pneumonia. Symptoms of ILD include:

People can try to manage their symptoms by avoiding known triggers, such as cigarette smoke.

Doctors may prescribe corticosteroids and immunosuppressive therapies. In some cases, people may need supplemental oxygen.

There are several ways in which a person can manage shortness of breath.

People who experience shortness of breath may feel as though they need to take deeper breaths or breathe faster. However, this can worsen shortness of breath, as the muscles have to work harder.

Breathing techniques people can try to alleviate this symptom include:

If a person regularly experiences shortness of breath while walking, they should seek guidance from a doctor. Doctors can diagnose the cause and offer most suitable treatment options.

If a person is struggling to breathe or loses consciousness, it is necessary to contact emergency services immediately.

There are many causes of shortness of breath, some of which may worsen due to physical activity, such as walking.

In cases where shortness of breath is mild, a person may be able to manage it by avoiding triggers and practicing breathing exercises. In other cases, it may indicate an underlying medical condition that requires treatment.

Your kidneys are organs that play several important roles in your health. They help filter your blood, remove waste products, produce hormones, keep your bones strong, regulate fluid balance, and regulate your blood pressure.

Unfortunately, your kidneys can get damaged and become less efficient over time. This is commonly called kidney disease, and it affects around 10% of adults globally (1).

Various factors and health conditions, including diabetes, can raise your risk of kidney disease (2).

Prolonged high blood sugar levels may damage your blood vessels, including those in your kidneys. As a result, about 1 in 3 adults with diabetes also have kidney disease (2).

Dietary guidelines for kidney disease and diabetes vary based on the stage of kidney disease. The goal is to prevent the buildup of various chemicals, nutrients, and waste products in the blood in order to preserve kidney function.

People with kidney disease and diabetes should monitor their intake of sugar and the minerals sodium, potassium, and phosphorus.

Generally, people with kidney disease should consume no more than 2,000 mg each of sodium and potassium per day and no more than 8001,000 mg of phosphorus per day.

In comparison, people with healthy kidneys can have up to 4,700 mg of potassium, 2,300 mg of sodium, and 1,250 mg of phosphorus per day (3, 4).

People with kidney disease should also monitor their protein intake, since the kidneys may struggle to filter waste products from protein metabolism. On the other hand, people with end stage kidney disease may need more protein (5, 6).

Nutritional needs for people with kidney disease vary depending on how severe the disease is. Your healthcare provider and a registered dietitian can advise you on your individual needs for protein and other nutrients.

Here are 11 foods to avoid if you have kidney disease and diabetes.

Processed meats are made by drying, salting, curing, or smoking meats to enhance their flavor, texture, and shelf life. Bacon, deli meats, sausage, and jerky are some common types of processed meats.

Because processed meats are typically salted, they have a high sodium content. For example, a standard 3-ounce (85-gram) serving of bacon contains a whopping 1,430 mg of sodium, which is nearly 75% of your daily sodium allowance with kidney disease (7).

High sodium foods are not ideal for people with kidney disease and diabetes because excess sodium can significantly strain the kidneys. This may raise your blood pressure and cause fluid buildup in places such as your ankles and around your heart and lungs (8, 9).

Instead of processed meats, choose lean, skinless cuts of meat like chicken breast fillets which contain less sodium. However, as with all protein-rich foods, eat them in moderation based on your stage of kidney disease.

Processed meats are high in sodium, which can significantly strain your kidneys. Instead, choose lean, skinless cuts of meat and enjoy them in moderation.

Sodas, especially dark-colored varieties, are not ideal for people with kidney disease and diabetes.

Dark-colored sodas contain phosphorus, which is used to prevent discoloration, prolong shelf life, and add flavor. Most dark-colored sodas contain 90180 mg of phosphorus per 12-ounce (355-mL) serving (10).

Although this may not seem like much compared with the daily upper limit, sodas contain a different type of phosphorus than is naturally found in foods. It isnt bound to protein but instead appears in salt form, meaning its absorbed into your blood more easily (11, 12).

Healthy kidneys can easily remove excess phosphorus from your blood, but this isnt the case when you have kidney disease.

Having high blood phosphorus levels for an extended period can raise your heart disease risk, weaken your bones, and increase your risk of early death (13).

Sodas and other sugar-sweetened drinks are also high in added sugar. This isnt ideal for people who have diabetes, since their bodies cant regulate blood sugar levels properly.

Having high blood sugar levels over a long period can damage your nerves, further damage your kidneys, and raise your risk of heart disease (14).

Instead of soda, choose a beverage thats low in sugar and phosphorus, such as water, unsweetened tea, or sparkling water infused with sliced fruits or vegetables.

Dark-colored sodas are high in added sugar and phosphorus, which can cause health problems if you have kidney disease and diabetes.

Generally, fruits are healthy and packed with vitamins and minerals. However, people with kidney disease and diabetes may need to limit their intake of certain fruits mainly those high in sugar and the mineral potassium.

If you have kidney disease, your body cant remove potassium properly, which can lead to increased blood potassium levels, also known as hyperkalemia. If left untreated, this condition can cause fatigue, muscle weakness, heart problems, and even death (15).

Fruits high in potassium include bananas, avocados, apricots, kiwifruit, and oranges.

For example, a standard avocado (201 grams) contains 975 mg of potassium, which is more than twice the potassium content of a medium banana (118 grams) and nearly half the advised daily potassium intake for people with kidney disease (16, 17).

Fortunately, there are plenty of healthy low potassium fruits you can add to your diet in moderation as long as you monitor your carb intake. Grapes, berries, pineapple, mango, and apples are a few examples.

High potassium fruits such as bananas and avocados arent ideal for those with kidney disease and diabetes. Instead, choose low potassium fruits such as grapes, berries, and pineapple, and eat them in moderation.

Dried fruits are made by removing water from fruit through various processes. This creates small, dense fruits rich in energy and nutrients.

Dried fruits arent ideal for people with kidney disease and diabetes because theyre high in sugar and minerals such as potassium.

In fact, just half a cup (65 grams) of dried apricots contains around 755 mg of potassium, which is roughly 38% of your daily potassium needs if you have kidney disease (18).

Also, dried fruits are high in fast-digesting sugar, which isnt ideal if you have diabetes.

Dried fruits contain concentrated amounts of potassium and sugar, which means they arent ideal for people who have kidney disease and diabetes.

In most cases, beans and lentils are considered healthy and convenient.

However, for people with kidney disease and diabetes, beans and lentils both canned and fresh are not ideal due to their relatively high phosphorus content. Canned versions are typically also high in sodium.

For example, 1 cup (185 grams) of canned lentils contains 633 mg of potassium and 309 mg of phosphorus. This is close to one-third of the daily advised amount for each of those nutrients for people with weak kidneys (19).

If you enjoy beans and lentils, you can still eat them in small amounts but not as a standard carbohydrate part of your meal.

If you choose canned beans and lentils, opt for a low sodium or no salt added version. Also, older research suggests that draining and rinsing canned foods can reduce their sodium content by as much as 3380%, depending on the product (20).

Most beans and lentils are high in phosphorus and potassium, which means theyre not ideal for people who have kidney disease and diabetes. If you choose to eat them, opt for a smaller portion and choose low sodium versions.

Packaged foods, instant meals, and fast food tend to be high in sodium, which is one reason they arent ideal for someone with kidney disease and diabetes.

Some examples of these foods are instant noodles, frozen pizza, frozen boxed meals, and other types of microwavable meals.

For example, just one slice (102 grams) of frozen pepperoni pizza contains 568 mg of sodium, more than one-quarter of the advised sodium intake if you have kidney disease, and doesnt provide significant amounts of beneficial nutrients (21).

These foods are also heavily processed and often high in refined carbs. This isnt ideal if you have diabetes, because refined carbs are digested quickly and tend to spike blood sugar levels (22).

Packaged foods, instant meals, and fast food are high in sodium and refined carbs but low in beneficial nutrients. Limit your intake of these foods if you have kidney disease and diabetes.

Avoid fruit juices and other sugar-sweetened beverages if you have kidney disease and diabetes.

These drinks tend to be high in added sugar that can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar. This is concerning because diabetes affects your bodys ability to absorb sugar properly, and prolonged high blood sugar levels can lead to various health complications (23, 24).

Plus, certain fruit juices are high in minerals such as potassium. For example, a single cup (240 mL) of orange juice contains around 443 mg of potassium (25).

Fruit juices such as orange juice are high in potassium and added sugar, so theyre not ideal for people with kidney disease and diabetes.

Various leafy green vegetables, such as spinach, chard, and beet greens, contain high amounts of nutrients like potassium.

Just 1 cup (3038 grams) of raw veggies contains 136290 mg of potassium (26, 27, 28).

Keep in mind that when these leafy veggies are cooked, they shrink to a significantly smaller size but still contain the same amount of potassium.

So, if you have kidney disease, its better to eat them raw, as youre likely to eat a smaller amount of them this way. That said, its still OK to eat them cooked, as long as you manage your portion sizes.

Spinach, beet greens, chard, and other leafy veggies are also high in oxalic acid, an organic compound that can form oxalates once bound to minerals such as calcium.

Oxalates may form kidney stones in susceptible people. Aside from being painful, kidney stones can further damage your kidneys and impair their functioning (29).

Various leafy green veggies, such as spinach, beet greens, and chard, are high in potassium and oxalic acid. Oxalic acid can increase your risk of developing kidney stones.

Snack foods such as chips, crackers, and pretzels are typically high in salt and refined carbs, which makes them unsuitable for those with kidney disease and diabetes.

Some snack foods, like potato chips, are also high in other minerals, such as potassium or phosphorus, either naturally or as a result of additives.

For example, one medium (57-gram) single-serving bag of potato chips contains 682 mg of potassium, 300 mg of sodium, and 87 mg of phosphorus (30).

Snack foods should be limited or avoided as part of any healthy diet, especially if you have health conditions such as kidney disease and diabetes. Instead, experiment with nutrient-dense diabetes-friendly snacks.

Snack foods such as chips, pretzels, and crackers are high in sodium and refined sugar and low in beneficial nutrients. Limit your intake of these foods.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are high in potassium, which can be a concern for people with kidney disease, especially when the condition is in its later stages.

For example, a medium baked potato (156 grams) contains 610 mg of potassium, and a standard baked sweet potato (114 grams) contains 541 mg of potassium (31, 32).

However, potatoes and sweet potatoes can be soaked or leached to significantly reduce their potassium content.

In one study, boiling small, thin pieces of potatoes for at least 10 minutes reduced their potassium content by about 50% (33).

In another study, soaking potatoes after cooking them reduced the potassium content by as much as 70%, resulting in potassium levels suitable for people with kidney disease (34).

While these methods may lower the potassium content, potatoes and sweet potatoes are still high in carbs, so its a good idea to eat them in moderation if you have diabetes.

If you have kidney disease and diabetes, limit your intake of potatoes and sweet potatoes, as theyre high in potassium and carbs. However, boiling them can significantly reduce their potassium content.

If you have kidney disease and diabetes, its best to limit your intake of certain nutrients, including carbohydrates, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus.

Your dietary restrictions for kidney disease and diabetes depend on your stage of kidney disease. But limiting these nutrients can be helpful regardless, allowing you to better manage the conditions and reduce the likelihood of kidney disease worsening over time.

Make sure to speak with your healthcare provider and a renal dietitian for specialized recommendations based on your stage of kidney disease.

10 Foods to Avoid with Kidney Disease and Diabetes - Healthline

Posted: Feb 5, 2021 / 10:17 AM EST / Updated: Feb 5, 2021 / 10:29 AM EST

Whether its Keto, Paleo, plant based, or even the Zone, chances are youve probably seen or heard someone talking about a new diet theyre on.

You may have even tried a few yourself.

But behind some of these trends, comes a warning. Fad diets may not do what you want them to.

Dieticians and nutritionist say thats because many of these plans arent built for the long term. Some, like Keto, cut out an entire food groups that can leave you short on some much needed nutrients. It can also can lead to issues down the road. Then theres the school of thought that suggests being too restrictive about what you eat can set you up for failure down the road.

I like to use these words, accelerate or sustainable. Which do you want when it comes to your eating? Certainly any diet, like Keto or whatever, because youre paying attention, because you have awareness with your choices and your portions, you probably will eat fewer calories and so you may see weight loss. But is it sustainable? Not just months down the road, but years down the road. will you actually be eating like that years down the road? registered dietician Kim Galeaz said.

Galeaz says she doesnt discount that some people may find incredible success with certain diets After all, every person and every situation is different. But she adds that generally, for long -term and sustained changes its not so much about what you eat rather the relationship you have with food.

What is your food attitude? When you start saying I cant have that, thats bad, thats not a the healthiest food attitude and that sets you up for potential failure. You really want that (food), you just havent figured out how to deal with it the rest of your life so you think avoiding it is the answer That sets you up for failure. I want you to embrace all your favorite foods and learn how to eat them in a healthy way, Galeaz said.

Ultimately, Galeaz says that people have to do whats best for them. She adds that starts by having a real and truthful conversation about what youre hoping to achieve. Thinking less about where you want to be next month, but rather where you want to be for the rest of your life.

One more note about the keto diet because its so popular right now..cardiologists are warning about the impact of adding too much saturated fat to your diet. As it can help accelerate heart disease, which is the biggest killer for men and women.

Thinking of trying a fad diet? You may want to think twice - WTTV CBS4Indy

Plenty of attention has been given to probiotics, and for good reasonthe beneficial bacteria in your gut has been linked to a range of benefits, from better immunity to deeper sleep to a sunnier mood. But increasingly, theres growing awareness that those good bugs can work even harder if theyre fed properly.

Enter prebiotics.

We spoke with Mary Purdy, R.D.N., dietitian and author of The Microbiome Reset Diet, and Sarah Berry, Ph.D., senior lecturer in the department of nutrition sciences at Kings College London, to find out what prebiotics are, how they can help with your running performance, and what the best sources are.

Prebiotics are plant fibers that arent digested by the body, so instead, they travel to your lower digestive tract, where they form a tasty buffet for your healthy bacteria, according Purdy. That makes your good bugs thrive and get stronger, as well as multiply, she says.

When that happens, those bacteria are better at digesting and breaking down food to make it usable as fuel for our bodies, she says. When certain bacteria consume the undigestible parts of the food we eatincluding prebioticsthey produce lactic acid, which supports digestion, and short-chain fatty acids, a substance needed by the cells lining your colon.

Join Runners World+ to become a stronger, faster runner!

If youre skimping on the healthy foods and not getting enough prebiotic material, it can lead to whats called dysbiosis, which is an imbalance in your gut microbiome. Short-term, that can kick off uncomfortable gastrointestinal issues, but longer-term, it might become chronic and lead to more serious issues like inflammatory bowel diseases, according to Purdy.

Dysbiosis can also have a ripple effect. Since gut health is crucial for your overall healthsuch as immunity, heart function, and brain healthbeing unbalanced for too long could lead to conditions like autoimmune disorders, obesity, depression, dementia, and type 2 diabetes.

Although regular exercise can help mitigate these risks to some degree, dysbiosis is likely to have a profound effect on athletic performance over time, Purdy says, since a diverse microbiome and an effective metabolism share a well-established link.

Individuals with a less diverse microbiome also tend to have more systemic inflammation, which and be linked to heart and joint issues, as well as insulin resistance and high cholesterol, Purdy says.

She added that the gut microbiome is also responsible for the synthesis of vitamins, such as biotin, B12, folic acid, thiamine, and vitamin K, which all play important roles in energy production, nerve function, and bone health. Without them, runners might find themselves feeling fatigued more quickly, experiencing more muscle pain, and dealing with joint issues, she says.

Its important to give your beneficial bacteria the best possible environment to thriveand thats where increased prebiotics come in.

Much like probiotics, you can find prebiotics in some supplement formations, but its best to get them from foods, Purdy suggests. That way, you can take advantage of the vitamins, minerals, and fiber that go along with whole-food options, as well as polyphenols (micronutrients in plant-based options that have antioxidants linked to an array of health benefits.)

Top choices for prebiotics:

If youre branching out into the less-familiar parts of the produce section, prebiotics are also abundant in Jerusalem artichokes, chicory root, dandelion greens, burdock root, jicama, and seaweed.

Playing around with a breadth of prebiotic options is useful for figuring out which options make the most sense for you, Berry says, since some of these foods can cause bloating and gas, or, more positively, can give you more energy and better bowel health.

The microbiome is unique to each individual, Berry says. Due to the personalized nature of your gut bacteria, a personalized approach to what you eat is the best way to positively impact your health.

For maximum gut health, Purdy suggests adding choices that also take advantage of the other two bioticsprobiotics and postbiotics.

When youve got your mix of prebiotics and probiotics right (when you have a happy gut), youll achieve a good blend of postbiotics, which include any material left over after the bacteria use what they need. Much like the other biotics, postbiotics play a significant role in supporting a healthy digestive system and enabling the microbiome to thrive.

You can increase postbiotics with the same type of foods used for probiotics, which means boosting your consumption of fermented options can be even more powerful.

In general, Purdy suggests, variety is key. Youd get bored eating the same meals all the time, and your gut bacteria are no different. They thrive with novelty, especially if fiber is involved.

Dont get too stuck on only one type of vegetable, one kind of nut, or one class of grains, Purdy says. Diversity of diet equals diversity of microbiome, which equals a happier, healthier you. Shoot for an array of color and texture and a mixture of foods each day that provide both fiber and a plethora of polyphenols, and your bugs will likely sing.

When it comes to getting healthier, most people start by scrutinizing what's on their plate. However, what's in your glass could be causing just as much damage to your overall wellbeing.

It's not just alcohol that can wreak havoc on your health, though. Many of the beverages you drink on a daily basis could be contributing to serious ailments, from raising your risk of type 2 diabetes to increasing the likelihood you'll suffer a broken bone.

Before you take another sip, read on to discover which popular drinks could be causing lasting damage to your body, according to experts. And if you want to get your meal plan back on track, start with The 7 Healthiest Foods to Eat Right Now.

While energy drinks may provide a pick-me-up when you're feeling sluggish, their high caffeine content may actually make your fatigue worse in the long run.

In addition to negatively affecting your sleep, caffeine "also inhibits the production of collagen in your skin, leading to premature skin aging with more wrinkles," explains certified nutritionist Ann Ramark of A Younger Skin.

That post-workout protein shake could be doing more harm to your body than good.Celine Beitchman, MS, director of nutrition at the Institute of Culinary Education, explains that the average personeven those who eschew animal productsgets ample protein from their diet.

"If you're overdoing protein every day it can overwork your kidneys too," Beitchman explains, noting that excessive consumption of protein can also lead to excess fat storage.

Soda's got a bad enough nutritional rap as it is, but drinking dark soda may have unintended consequences for your health beyond adding empty calories to your diet.

"The phosphoric acid in dark sodas makes them even worse for your health than clear sodas," explains Megan Wong, RD, a registered dietician with AlgaeCal. "Too much phosphoric acid can cause your bones to lose calcium, which is likely why studies have linked soft drink intake with decreased bone mineral density and higher risk of fracture."

While most unflavored seltzers have little in the way of nutritional content, some are a sneaky source of sodium, which can have serious consequences for your health.

"Sodium is a major nutrient of concern that increases your risk of hypertension and stroke," explains Beitchman. "Check your labels and choose the low or no-sodium options or make your own with a household maker." And if you can't get enough of the fizzy stuff, Here's What Happens To Your Body If You Drink Seltzer Every Day.

In its unsweetened form, certain types of tea can be a healthy source of antioxidants. However, sweet tea, which frequently contains huge helpings of sugar and caffeine, can have seriously deleterious effects on your health.

"If you drink too much [sweet tea], it can lead to headaches and problems with sleep," says Jay Cowin, a registered nutritionist with ASYSTEM. In addition to the large amounts of sugar found in sweet tea, which can lead to weight gain and increase an individual's risk of developing type 2 diabetes, a 2015 article published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that drinking a large amount of black iced tea may contribute to renal failure due to the excessive consumption of oxalate, an organic acid.

If you're drinking sweetened coffee, you may be getting more than the burst of energy you were hoping for.

"A large caramel Frappuccino can have around 500 calories itself. So you're filling yourself with added calories and can expect the sugar crash a few hours later," says Corwin. To learn about exactly what to avoid, check out theseThe Unhealthiest Coffee Drinks in AmericaRanked!

Unhealthy Drinks That Cause Long Term Damage, According to Experts - Eat This, Not That

A new study from Holland and Barrett conducted in December 2020 has unveiled some interesting statistics, such as the most popular reason for choosing a vegan diet being the health benefits.

In fact, 41% of new vegans say they switched to veganism for their health, compared to 32% for ethical reasons, and 24% for sustainability and the environment.

These enticing health benefits have been identified as weight loss, glowing skin, and increased libido. Nearly half of the study participants said they had lost weight, with 60% seeing weight loss in the first three months.

Increased libido is something longterm vegan Pamela Anderson highlighted on social media recently, and even challenged Piers Morgan to try a vegan diet for that purpose. The actress tweeted to her 1.2 million followers:

Vegans make better lovers. The cholesterol in meat, eggs, and dairy causes hardening of the arteries (and not much else).

It slows blood flow to all the bodys organs, not just the heart. You can improve your overall health and increase stamina in the bedroom by going vegan.

Its safe to say Piers didnt like this insinuation that his manhood didnt perform well in the bedroom, and wasnt on board with Andersons claims.

However, a third of men and a quarter of women questioned in the study reported a libido boost, so there may be truth to the claim!

An interesting find was that more than one in four vegans (29%) had adopted the diet in the past 12 months. This indicates two things. Firstly, the rise of veganism is exponential and will continue to increase more steeply over the next few years.

Moreover, the Vegan Society has predicted that vegans and vegetarians will make up a quarter of the British population by 2025.

Secondly, that the Covid-19 pandemic has played a significant role in the rise. In fact, 12% of adults (and 23% of those aged 16-24) said that the outbreak had made a vegan diet more appealing. With the threat of a bird flu pandemic on the horizon, it is no surprise that switching to plant-based foods is looking like the best option for many people.

Holland and Barretts nutritionist Emily Rollason has debunked some health concerns of vegans and non-vegans on the website, and you can read the full results of the study here.

New study finds going vegan leads to weight loss, glowing skin and increased libido - Vegan Food and Living

To pass the time during this third wave of COVID-19, Ive found myself dipping in and out of several diddly little volumes. A bit of craic here, some sage advice there, and some mindlessly entertaining drivel now and again.

Funny, it seemed to me, to find a sage bit of advice in a book called Grumpy Old Wit. Even more absurd was that the piece of wisdom passed off as grumpy wit was attributed to the management guru Tom Peters.

Create, goes the quote, a to-dont list that contains tasks, rituals, and meetings that you should never waste your time on again. Then stick to it.

While Im confident that Mr. Peterss list is intended for important executives and high-powered leaders of business and industry, I think there is a solid plank in this pointer upon which to build a strong platform for living my life with multiple sclerosis (MS).

I know well the importance of a to-do list. Back in the day, I was even fairly good at managing myself and others using graduated running lists of priorities for multiple outlets and locations in various time zones.

Checking things off from such lists (or confirming that others had) gives one a sense of accomplishment, but also requires accountability to oneself to ensure that things dont fall through the cracks.

All well and good in either the business or the MS world. But what about to-dont lists?

The idea of looking back at various attempts Ive made during my decades of living with MS and jotting down those that were a complete waste of time (along with those with little or no net return) seems like a great way of turning negative experiences into positive outcomes.

Modes of exercise or weight loss that didnt work for one reason or another would be a good place to start for me. Various coping methods that were either unproductive or, worse, harmful would be up toward the top of my to-dont list as well.

But beyond the obvious, I think there is a lot of ore to mine in the discards of our previous attempts.

It could be some attachment to puritanism in our DNA, but we seem too often to regard ourselves as at fault if something doesnt work for us. We think we mustnt have tried hard enough or for long enough if an attempt falls flat. Rather, Id argue, some things just dont work or they dont work anymore.

Further, some things just arent worth the return on investment, monetary or otherwise. I think back on the long-term side effects of treatments for MS attacks, and Ill put those on the list. Perhaps they dont quite qualify as to-dont, but rather as only if as their echo can still be heard reverberating on my health.

Perhaps the most difficult, but possibly the most important, subjects to place on our running to-dont lists will be the people who have made the difficult parts of our life with MS more difficult or the good parts of life less good.

I know that for me, the toxic people in my life may be the hardest to untether from my habits. But they are likely also those who are most imperative to catalog and, paraphrasing Mr. Peters, stick to to avoid them sticking it to us again.

As I reflect on this idea, it may seem a bit harsh. A list of things to never waste time on again is a pretty damning list to put something or someone on.

If I think on it for more than a passing moment, however, I can see the extent of energy, pain, and self-doubt that would have been saved if Id recorded endeavors and antagonists, attempts and btes noires that led me down paths better not revisited.

Weve a finite reserve of energy and an ever-dwindling expanse of time upon which to spend that energy. Why then, please tell me, would we think it positive to step again on stones we know to be unsteady and that have before sent us unceremoniously skidding on our backsides?

No more. Im making an MS to-dont list and Im sticking to it!

Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Cheers,

Trevis
