The article outlines six skin care habits recommended by CEENTA to maintain healthy skin year-round. Key habits include daily sunscreen use, removing makeup before bed, moisturizing, avoiding smoking, eating a nutrient-rich diet, and staying hydrated while limiting alcohol. These practices aim to protect the skin's barrier function and prevent issues like acne, aging, and cancer.

A study found that older adults in England who followed a Mediterranean diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, and olive oil reported higher psychological well-being during the pandemic compared to peers. The research, published in BMJ Open, tracked over 3,000 adults aged 50-90 and found the diet's benefits persisted even after adjusting for factors like income and health.

Researchers were surprised by the findings of a study on omega-3 fatty acids taken as fish-oil supplements. The study's results challenge assumptions about the benefits of these supplements for brain health.

A study suggests fish oil supplements, particularly their EPA component, may slow brain repair in individuals with repeated mild head injuries by destabilizing blood vessels and blocking repair signals, while also increasing tau protein buildup linked to brain diseases. Researchers emphasize that effects are context-dependent and findings are based on mice studies.
