Health and wellness updates: Sleep research, CBD safety, and nutrition
Recent scientific and medical developments highlight various aspects of health and wellness. Researchers at the University of Basel have identified specific groups of neurons in the brainstem that track wakefulness duration, providing insight into how the biological drive for sleep is actively constructed.
Regarding sleep hygiene, experts suggest that while seven to nine hours is a standard guideline for adults, individual needs vary based on genetics and health. In the realm of supplements, the European Food Safety Authority has updated its assessment of CBD oil, noting a lower safety threshold for intake via dietary supplements despite its popularity for stress and pain.
Nutritional guidelines have also been updated, particularly for patients using incretin-based therapies. Experts recommend specific protein and fiber intakes to prevent muscle loss. Additionally, in mental health, experts emphasize that patients in psychotherapy have legal rights, including the right to view their medical records and receive full disclosure regarding diagnoses and costs.
