experts who hope the people who want to do i mean not long time ago the same situation has been true for for europe as well and i think that although many of the symptoms cannot be treated without modern medical aid like medication like antidepressants or anti psychotics but the social problems like unemployment or other things that that result from from the mental illness. can be treated by professional help here but maybe better treated in 3rd world countries spy there are surrounding the like family friends or try at least but what's the best really for it from a viewer for them to hope somebody with these problems if you do not have experienced nations yourself or. depression that the loss of

why do people have mental problems well life crisis might trigger them that's evident but there might be a genetic predisposition this well that recent research suggests that the immune system might play an important role and it's all about information and if you fight information you fight suppression to. what causes depression these researches believe they found evidence that inflammation is one of the trick is. that. we found initial evidence in people who suffer from chronic inflammatory conditions including rheumatoid arthritis crohn's disease and also a rate of colitis. in these patients we observed that the physical symptoms of the disease were accompanied by substantial mental health and mood changes. this is not just people with chronic illnesses who feel these effects many people notice that when they're coming down with a cold or infection they get
3:48 am
a headache feel lethargic and experienced mood changes this sickness behavior as it's called affects the body and the mind. how did anglo decided to investigate this phenomenon by carrying out an unusual experiment to understand how inflammation can affect. the. first we introduce the kind of temporary illness in our subjects meaning an inflammatory response for experimental purposes but we didn't use a bacteria or a virus but a component from a microorganism a cell wall component from bacteria. when this cell wall component is injected into the subject's vein. in the juices a temporary inflammatory response that lasts about 4 to 6 hours. to test subjects were asked to document their marriage before during and off. the
3:49 am
experiment. people who receive the test substance the endo toxin experienced a significant drop in mood the effect was strongest about 2 to 3 hours after the injection then it began to improve and normalize again after about 6 to 8 hours their mood was back to normal. what happened and the test substance called bacterial l.p.'s increased the levels of cytokines in the blood proteins that activate the immune response their research has also found evidence of cytokines in the brain by doing a lumber punch it to withdraw some simply gross spinal fluid. or when these inflammatory signals travel from the periphery to the brain they affect the neuronal activity of cells in important structures of the brain which are involved in emotional processing and that can lead to changes in behavior and mood.
3:50 am
the experiment provides evidence that cytokines the immune substances that elicit an inflammatory response might trigger symptoms of depression but what factors can cause that inflammatory response. researches at the university medical center. i mean tested in the impact of diet on cytokine levels and inflammation. we believe that cholesterol fatty acids and other dietary substances that our bodies register as problematic in some way and which we are constantly consuming can lead to a constant low level activation of the immune system. is a leading researcher in the field of information he's teamed up with other researches to develop new therapies to prevent chronic diseases. he's convinced that diet and
3:51 am
obesity are decisive fact his. diet plays a big role in inflammatory reactions an inflammatory reaction means that cytokines are released which can be triggered by over eating a classic example is when a person consumes too many calories which can lead to obesity. but other dietary components also play a role dietary fats in particular. studies show that trans fats such as those found in fried foods cookies and sweets raise blood fat and cholesterol levels causing barely perceptible inflammation how the intestines process these foods is also critical. and what we've had to learn in recent years is that it's not just what we eat and what our food is made of that's important our food is modified through our gut flora our micro biome as it's called
3:52 am
what ends up in the blood is a result of both our diets and our gut flora. the interplay between diet and micro biome also influences our physical and mental health food switch help prevent or limit inflammation most beneficial. 3 fatty acids which are found in fish but there are plant sources of omega 3 fatty . acids called alpha lemak acids or airways they're found to different kinds of vegetables. so a balanced diet with lots of fish and vegetables and not much meat is considered healthy losing weight also helps not only to reduce inflammation in the body there's even compelling evidence that this can reduce depressive symptoms in overweight people. there's also what's known as the gut brain axis today we know that there's communication between the gastrointestinal
3:53 am
tract and the brain it's possible that molecules like cytokines play a key role in the communication between both systems. food nourishes our bodies and our minds many of us know that instinctively but the science is only now starting to catch up. you can treat mental illnesses with drugs given the right medication you can compensate for the overproduction or for the deficiency of certain messenger proteins and combined with psychotherapy you can even cure patients over the last years doctors and scientists have found that sport might be equally effective in treating mental disorders like depression and if you're still looking for the right support why not try bouldering. more than 10 years ago 1000000 pocky was

hospitalized with anorexia a year later she began suffering from bolivia then came depression and h.d. 'd now she's doing much better thanks to climbing. up after off and not saying i'm a has made me more open and more curious i approach problems differently now i see the most challenges it's not the destination but the journey that matters overcoming obstacles that's also a good lesson for everyday life. climbing is a great form of movement therapy because of the strength it requires but it also provides an opportunity to practice a variety of other skills like trusting letting go of getting to know yourself finding new ways of doing things solving problems and so much more. anxiety disorders can affect anyone even people who think utterly fearless like alexander who's an expert rock climber he can master his fear on the mountain side
3:55 am
more easily than in daily life a therapist helped him master his anxiety. i can use the strategies i learned in mountain climbing for the problems and anxieties i have in everyday life. even my therapist said to me when you're climbing you know you can do it that means you can do it in your normal life as well make it a project to get out of the crisis and develop strategies to help you do it but i think you get that. from me on pocky climbing has made all the difference she met her husband through climbing and she's already passed on her passion to her daughter's. to get done what i did love climbing and it's what they know when my daughters were young they felt that everyone went climbing on the weekends that's what people do. for me i'm talking now in sports and climbing have become the key to a healthy and fulfilling life. that's it for today see you next week and on to then

strain of the rise cannot reach the continent although it is already in year it is already in italy in netherlands and denmark but only a very few cases and the german minister said devise has to be contained we cannot allow it to spread further more on contradictory europe but it's unclear if that really really work. because nobody knows exactly when the virus was circulating the w.h.o. the world health organization said it's already there since september earlier we spoke to viral adjust the hammad name from britain's lancaster university we asked him whether there are concerns that vaccines could be less effective on the new strain of the virus but i just want to highlight is that a vaccine work vaccine doesn't work against one part of the virus it works against different components of the virus for example there are more than 2030 different
4:05 am
sites within the spike but again against which the vaccine is effective so if one or 2 mutations are kirk still the other one would protect against the infection so as it stands now the mutation that we have identified in the u.k. have literally no impact on to the vaccine effectiveness so therefore the vaccine being developed by the pfizer midden or astra zeneca would have no impact on to the widest and it would carry on raising the immunity enough to really know for this wireless that was mohammed money from lancaster university let's take a look at some other stories making headlines another deadline has passed in post breck's it trade deal a negotiations as the u.k. and the e.u. fail to reach a compromise on sunday it's believed significant differences remain on fisheries the talks are expected to continue on monday despite the european parliament saying it will not vote on a deal secured after the weekend. eastern iceland has been hit by some of its

in december $900000000000.00 yup a partisan stalemate and knowledge of course also partisan finger pointing even today as they announced this deal the republican senate leader as well as the. democratic minority leader in the senate. exchanging punches verbal punches that each other who is responsible for the delay and so long of a wait for this $900000000000.00 help aid package for people who suffer from coronavirus economy here and the breakdown of. their job structures and so on so how much money will individuals and businesses actually get and when will they get this money very good question so there's 2 parts there will be an extension and help for people who are unemployed they will get $300.00 a week for about 11 weeks that is substantial because again if you file for
