Walnuts Could Help Students with Stress, Says Study

University isn't all sleeping, parties, and video games — many students find it a stressful time, with exams and the beginning of adult life.

But a recent study has suggested that there's a food that could help with some of that stress — walnuts.

Walnuts are known to be a healthy snack. They contain healthy fats and proteins, which are good for the body and the mind.

They may not be the most exciting food for young adults to snack on in a world of pizza and burgers, but they could have a positive effect both on academic stress and on the health of the body.

That's according to researchers from the University of South Australia, who had 80 students take part in their study.

One group of students was asked to eat about half a cup of walnuts every day for 16 weeks. They could eat them as a snack or add them to meals at any time of the day.

The other participants were told not to eat nuts for those 16 weeks.

The researchers found that academic stress was having a negative effect on student's mental health, on the amount of protein in their bodies, and — in female participants — on the diversity of bacteria in their guts.

But these things all improved among those who had been eating walnuts.

Larisa Bobrovskaya, one of the study's authors, said not only are walnuts good for students, they're an easy thing to add to lots of different meals.

However, she also said just having something extra to eat might have made the students feel better, so more research is needed.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【二胎】的话题。
这个话题应该是中国独有的一个话题。为了解决人口问题和发展问题，1982年计划生育被定为中国的基本国策。随着中国社会的迅速发展，这个政策也带来了人口老龄化问题。这些年，中国的生育政策不断在调整、完善。
2013年，启动实施一方是独生子女的夫妇可生育两个孩子的政策。
2015年，全面实施一对夫妇可生育两个孩子的政策。
2021年，实施一对夫妻可以生育三个子女的政策。
在二胎政策开放后，并不是所有的父母都选择再生一个孩子。这背后有很多原因，比如经济因素，在大城市养一个孩子的成本太高了。而且如果夫妻双方都去上班，谁来帮忙带小孩也是个问题。家里的老人不一定能帮忙，请保姆的话又不放心。第一个孩子好不容易长大了，很多职场女性也不愿意再生二胎牺牲自己的职业发展。选择生二胎的夫妻，也有他们的考虑。
1.因为我两个孩子都是女儿，她们的这个成长之路是比较不孤单的。成长的过程中，两个人都会互相地去学习。
2.应该是幸福大于心酸，我觉得的话就是每一个孩子他都是一个独立人格嘛，只要按照他的特性来发展（就好了）。
3.独生子女更容易被这种爷爷奶奶加上外公外婆再加父母亲6个大人宠一个，其实有时候小孩子会比较骄纵。可是如果多个的话这种就比较分散一点，一些事情可以彼此去讨论，他们自己可以讨论，就形成一个小的同侪关系。我觉得这样是比较好的。
你会选择生二胎吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
