Social Media Might Not Be Rotting Our Brains as Much as We Think, Twin Study Finds The link between social media use and poorer wellbeing is modest and shaped by our genetics, researchers in the Netherlands argue.

👯‍♀️ Our twin study team visited the King's Brain Bank 🧠 at IoPPN! We study how genes and life experiences shape mental health. Seeing how donated brain tissue helps research gave us a new perspective on how it all connects. @kingsioppn.bsky.social

Some people are born to enjoy music more than others A twin study found that about 54% of how much we enjoy music may come from our genes. This pleasure isn't only linked to talent or happiness.

Conclusion of #TwinStudy:

[a healthy Vegan diet improves cardiovascular health. V eaters’ LDL cholesterol dropped ~15.2 mgs over 8 wks. In contrast, the omnivore participants' LDL cholesterol fell by ~2.4 mgs. V participants shed ~4 more lbs than omnivores, and their insulin dropped by 20% more]

Good advice.

Going Plant Based proving to be a protective health measure as well 🌱 #TwinStudy

Twin studies link depression to how much fruit and vegetables we eat Using data from twin studies conducted over many years, researchers have found a link between levels of depression and the amount of fruit and vegetables people eat each day.

Twin studies find an association between fruit and vegetable intake and depression in over-45s. Interestingly, what was categorised as a 'high' intake was still well below the dietary recommendations for most countries.
