Things in the library 19 July...

Things about diet...

A review article in the journal Nutrients looks at the evidence of the role and sustainability of the Mediterranean Diet , reiterates the importance of acting in certain age groups to stop the spread of obesity and proceeds with a critical review of the regulatory instruments used so far. Bearing in mind the importance of the scientific evidence that led to the consideration of the Mediterranean Diet as not just a food model, but also as the most appropriate regime for disease prevention, a sort of complete lifestyle plan for the pursuit of healthcare sustainability. Several different socio-economic factors have caused a large portion of the population to adopt unhealthy eating habits that can undermine healthcare systems, unless current trends are inverted towards more sustainable lifestyle models. Even though a dietary plan inspired by the principles of the Mediterranean Diet is associated with numerous health benefits and has been demonstrated to exert a preventive effect towards numerous pathologies, including obesity, its use is decreasing and it is now being supplanted by different nutritional models that are often generated by cultural and social changes. Directing governments’ political actions towards spreading adherence to the Mediterranean Diet’s principles as much as possible among the population could help to tackle the obesity epidemic, especially in childhood.

Things to watch...

The NSPCC have created evidence-informed resources to help adults ensure children always feel listened to and advice on how to respond to a child's disclosure of abuse.

Adults told the researchers that they aren’t always confident about knowing what to say and do if a child starts to disclose. Through their research they have identified that it’s helpful for children and young people in the moment of disclosure if adults use appropriate interpersonal skills to make it clear they are listening and taking them seriously.
