Boost Fun Nutrition with Microgreens


Halfway in size between sprouts and full-grown plants, mi- crogreens are bursting with nutrients, but have been mostly relegated to garnishes at upscale restaurants. Researchers at Colorado State University, exploring their accept- ability, fed 99 people six separate types of microgreens: arugula, broccoli, bull’s blood beet, red cabbage, red garnet amaranth and tendril pea. The red-col- ored varieties—beet, cabbage and amaranth—received top marks for appearance, but broccoli, red cabbage and tendril pea scored the highest overall grades. The subjects found the greens were fun (“funfetti”), colorful and attractive. Microgreens, which can be grown quickly indoors year-


round with minimal water, offer a pos- sible solution to sustainably


feeding the planet, the researchers pointed out.

Consider Therapy


to Reduce Inflammation In exploring the mind- body link that is par- ticularly relevant during the current pandemic, an analysis of 56 ran- domized clinical stud- ies found that cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and similar approaches reduced inflammation and enhanced immunity in subjects, reports JAMA Psychiatry. University of California, Davis, re- searchers reviewed stud- ies that included 4,060 participants undergoing behavior therapy (which seeks to help patients un-


derstand and change problematic behaviors), cognitive therapy (which teaches patients how to change negative thoughts or mindset), CBT (that combines elements of both), bereavement or supportive therapy, psychoedu- cation and other therapies such as stress management. Those that received these psychosocial interventions experienced a 14.7 percent increase in positive immune outcomes such as lower viral load and an 18 percent de- crease in negative outcomes, including proinflammatory cytokines, compared with those not receiving therapy. The immunity improvements were strongest among patients that received CBT or multiple interventions.
