LOS ANGELES, Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As the days shorten and temperatures drop, many in the US experience the winter blues, with symptoms like low energy and lack of motivation. Signe Svanfeldt, lead nutritionist at Lifesum, a leading global healthy eating app, offers expert tips for boosting mental health this winter through mindful food choices.

Winter Blues and SAD in the US
Approximately 10-20% of Americans experience mild Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or “winter blues” (source), about 5% of adults in the US suffer from major depression with seasonal pattern, a more severe form of SAD, and women are more likely to be diagnosed with SAD than men, with a ratio of about 4 to 1 (source).

Nutrition Tips for Better Mental Health
“Food plays an essential role in supporting mental health, and choosing the right nutrients can help you stay balanced and resilient during the winter months. It’s not just about avoiding foods that harm your mood; it’s about nourishing your body and mind with foods that support overall well-being,” says Signe.

Foods to Boost Mental Health:

Omega-3 Fatty Acids – Found in salmon, mackerel, chia seeds, and walnuts, omega-3s support brain health and reduce inflammation, improving mood and lowering anxiety.Fiber – Whole grains, vegetables, and legumes promote gut health, stabilize blood sugar, and contribute to a more balanced mood.Prebiotics – Foods like whole grains and vegetables nourish beneficial gut bacteria, reducing stress and anxiety.Probiotics – Fermented foods such as yogurt and kimchi help balance the gut microbiome, boosting serotonin production and improving mood.Protein – Essential for producing mood-regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, protein helps stabilize blood sugar and reduce mental fatigue.

What to Avoid for Better Mental Health:

Alcohol – While it may seem relaxing, alcohol disrupts sleep and depletes essential nutrients, contributing to anxiety and depression.Ultra-Processed Foods – Full of trans fats and refined sugars, these foods increase inflammation, which can worsen mood and cognitive function.Sugary Drinks – Soda and energy drinks cause rapid blood sugar spikes followed by crashes, leading to irritability and mood swings.

By focusing on omega-3s, fiber, prebiotics, probiotics, and protein, and avoiding alcohol, ultra-processed foods, and sugary drinks, you can help your body and mind thrive throughout the winter. A nutrient-rich diet not only boosts mood but also enhances energy and mental clarity, helping you approach the season with a healthier outlook.

Roqos’ patent-pending Local Micro-Segmentation is a true Software Defined Networking feature that is a dynamic and simple alternative to traditional VLANs.

RESTON, Va., Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Roqos, a leader in cybersecurity and networking solutions, has announced the release of its patent-pending Local Micro-segmentation (LMS) technology. This innovative Software Defined Networking (SDN) feature is designed to replace traditional VLANs, providing a more dynamic, simplified, and secure approach to network segmentation.

SDN based Local Micro-Segmentation is designed to replace traditional VLANs, providing a more dynamic, simplified, and secure approach to network segmentation.

“Our hardworking and innovative engineering team has delivered yet another powerful SDN feature for Roqos customers, enabling more dynamic, easy-to-manage, and secure networks,” said Sezen Uysal, founder and CEO of Roqos. “With LMS, Roqos SASE service has taken another significant step toward converging networking and cybersecurity—an essential move to provide truly SDN-based secure networks.”

Micro-segmentation provides granular control over network traffic and enhances security by limiting the spread of potential breaches. Key advantages include:

Reduced Attack Surface: Minimizes exposure of critical assets.East-West Traffic Protection: Secures lateral traffic between devices and workloads.Policy Enforcement: Facilitates detailed segmentation policies.Flexibility and Scalability: Adapts to changing environments with granular control.Compliance Support: Improves visibility and monitoring to meet regulatory requirements.

Roqos LMS, as the next-generation network segmentation, leverages physical and virtual Roqos Core appliances, managed via the Roqos Cloud, to create workflows, applications, and network segments.

With Roqos SASE’s intuitive policy editor, customers can easily define and enforce bi-directional or uni-directional connection policies among segments, enhancing both security and network manageability.

LMS also includes Device Isolation, an innovative feature that allows users to remotely remove a device’s dynamic IP address. This functionality is critical for quickly addressing compromised devices or performing maintenance without impacting the broader network.

Gravitas Medical received NEONATAL FDA 510(k) clearance for the Entarik system, which aids in the placement of feeding tubes and continuously monitors feeding tube position, gastric and esophageal temperature, and gastrointestinal impedance and reflux.

BERKELEY, Calif., Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Gravitas Medical, Inc. is pleased to announce that it received Neonatal 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This clearance allows Gravitas Medical to market its revolutionary Entarik technology to the US neonatal population.

“We are extremely pleased to announce that Gravitas Medical now has the ONLY smart enteral nutrition delivery system cleared for neonates and the ONLY EN solution with continuous monitoring”, says CEO Jorgen B Hansen

“We are extremely pleased to announce that Gravitas Medical now has the ONLY smart enteral nutrition delivery system cleared for neonates and the ONLY EN solution with continuous monitoring”, says CEO Jorgen B Hansen. The Entarik System is designed for enteral feeding and to aid in the placement of the Entarik Enteral Feeding Tube into the stomach of neonatal patients requiring enteral feeding. The Entarik System also continuously monitors feeding tube position, gastric and esophageal temperature, and gastrointestinal impedance and reflux.

The co-founder & CTO Saheel Sutaria continues: “This is a huge milestone that will allow us to improve care in a vulnerable population where feeding tubes are essentially placed blind since x-ray radiation is avoided if possible, and many babies are underfed due to a lack of data. In addition, with clearance in neonates and adults, we can now build out a full portfolio for all ages in between.” He adds, “we would like to thank the visionary investigators at our clinical sites for their dedication to improving EN for neonates, as well as our hard-working team for making this happen.”

About Gravitas Medical

Gravitas Medical Inc. is a Silicon Valley-based medical device company committed to revolutionizing enteral feeding into enteral nutrition intelligence. By harnessing the power of technology, Gravitas Medical transforms gut-related information into actionable insights for caregivers. This approach enables better decision-making, improved patient outcomes, reduced hospital stays, and a decreased overall cost of care.
