Citando:
"This article attempted to review literature in order to provide recommendations for how to construct a vegan diet for athletes and exercisers. While little data could be found in the sports nutrition literature specifically, it was revealed elsewhere that veganism creates challenges that need to be accounted for when designing a nutritious diet. This included the sufficiency of energy and protein; the adequacy of vitamin B12, iron, zinc, calcium, iodine and vitamin D; and the lack of the long-chain n-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA in most plant-based sources. "

Foods that may be beneficial to BPH include:

fiber-rich foods, such as whole grains, legumes, beans, and dark, leafy greens

fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants, usually dark red, yellow, and orange varieties

foods rich in zinc, such as eggs, most types of seafood, and nuts

products that contain phytoestrogens, such as soy foods, chickpeas, alfalfa, and fava beans

foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, including most fish and some nuts and seeds, such as hemp and chia

Foods people with BPH, or those at risk of developing it, should avoid or limit include:

caffeine

artificial sweeteners

alcohol

nicotine

carbonated drinks

starchy, refined foods

red meat

Making dietary changes may help manage or prevent an enlarged prostate and any resulting symptoms."

Estudos sobre a carne vermelha?

Os estudos (com ligações) e as críticas aos estudos:
https://www.nexojornal.com.br/expresso/2019/10/04/Quais-as-contradi%C3%A7%C3%B5es-nos-estudos-sobre-carne-vermelha

Citando:
"A avaliação que levou a essa conclusão foi feita a partir dos critérios de um sistema de verificação científica conhecido como Grade (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation). À rádio americana NPR, nutricionistas disseram considerar o método de avaliação “problemático e inapropriado”, pois o Grade foi desenvolvido para verificar a qualidade das evidências de estudos sobre drogas. O sistema Grade considera que um tipo de pesquisa conhecido como estudo randomizado controlado (em que dois grupos são avaliados usando remédio e placebo, por exemplo) oferece o melhor tipo de evidência. Mas a maior parte da ciência na área de nutrição é baseada em outro tipo de pesquisa, o estudo observacional. Invariavelmente, o Grade considera estudos assim de baixa qualidade."

Felicidade conjugal e os genes?

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/gene-marriage-success-relationship-dna-genetics-yale-university-a8802176.html

Citando:
"Some people have a gene linked with happy marriages, scientists find

'This study shows that how we feel in our close relationships is influenced by more than just our shared experiences with our partners'"

(...)

"People with this gene variant – known as the GG genotype – are already known to show greater empathy, sociability and emotional stability.

Given the kind of characteristics that might contribute to a happy and successful marriage, it is perhaps unsurprising that this was the stretch of DNA found frequently in content spouses."

Study identifies the most effective mental strategies that people use to get through aversive challenges - Big Think


Citando :

"The researchers started with a pilot study in which they presented hundreds of participants with challenging scenarios (such as completing a treadmill run) and asked them to list any strategies they'd typically use to push through to the end. The researchers collapsed the answers into 19 strategies most of which fell under one of two headings: situation modification strategies (e.g. drinking coffee; listening to music while working); and attentional deployment strategies (e.g. motivational self-talk or thinking the finish is near)."

A lista de algumas estratégias possíveis está aqui nesta imagem:

Citando:
"A “stealth disease” which causes iron to build up to toxic levels may be responsible for thousands of cancers and disabling joint problems written off as part of ageing, a British study has found.

Hereditary haemochromatosis is one of the most common genetic disorders among people of European descent but it had previously only been thought to harm around 1 per cent of people carrying the mutation."

O FB e a depressão?

Peritos tentam relacionar conteúdo de posts com depressão passado alguns meses:
https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/facebook-posts-may-point-depression-study-finds-n920356

Citando:
"The team went back for as long as six months before the depression diagnosis to see if each patient’s posts might contain hints about their mental health.

“Using only the language preceding their first documentation of a diagnosis of depression, we could identify depressed patients with fair accuracy,” they wrote.

Words such as "tears," "cry," "pain," "miss," "hate" and "ugh" were more common in the posts of people later diagnosed with depression, they reported."

O estudo sobre os estudos que recomenda que as 100g de alcool não sejam ultrapassados por se

... Mas o que são 100g de alcool? São mais ou menos 2*5 copos de bebidas / dia, sendo que os copos estão normalmente dimensionados para conter cerca de 10g,. Ou seja, 10 copos por semana?
É só fazer as contas, "como dizia o outro".  Mas cuidado com os copos, porque há copos de cerveja que são canecas.
Citando a Wikipedia:

"Uma unidade de bebida padrão é uma forma simplificada de medir o volume de álcool puro numa bebida alcoólica, sendo usada em vários países para orientar e facilitar o cálculo da ingestão diária ou semanal de álcool. Embora as bebidas tenham diferentes graduações alcoólicas, os diferentes tipos e tamanhos de copos fazem com que a quantidade de álcool ingerida seja praticamente a mesma, o que corresponde a 10 – 12 gramas de álcool por copo ou uma unidade de bebida padrão. A Organização Mundial de Saúde recomenda que não sejam ultrapassadas as 2 unidades diárias (20 g álcool) e a abstinência durante dois dias por semana.^[1]

Dizem que uma boa noite de sono vale milhões (equivale a sair a lotaria)...

Para isso é preciso não ser um grande camelo (para não ter peso na consciência, ou então ser um inconsciente), não ter stress a mais, não ter problemas respiratórios obstrutivos (que provoquem apneia), etc...

Alguém estudou que uma boa noite de sono vale mesmo milhões, e quantificou:

Good night's sleep boosts happiness as much as winning the lottery | Life | Life & Style | Express.co.uk

Citando:
"The study shows that positive changes in sleep over time - improved quality and quantity, and using less sleep medication - are linked with improved scores on the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), which is used by mental health professionals to monitor psychological wellbeing in patients.

People surveyed who reported positive improved sleep scored a two-point change in the GHQ - a result comparable to those recorded from patients completing an eight-week programme of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy designed to improve psychological wellbeing.

The same people showed improvements in physical and emotional health, as well as an ability to perform everyday activities."
