Why moving to the right could be wrong for Dutton and the Coalition

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, April 10, 2024

When Peter Dutton took the Coalition reins in 2022 after a humiliating loss of office, his first priority was unity.

Key Points: 
  • When Peter Dutton took the Coalition reins in 2022 after a humiliating loss of office, his first priority was unity.
  • A punchy and well-schooled parliamentarian, Dutton knew that if ever he was to contest the prime ministership, his primary challenge was to make it to the next election.
  • The alienation this policy creates among mainstream urban voters could more than offset its popularity in the joint party room (particularly within the anti-renewables Nationals).
  • They joined Warringah (NSW) on Sydney’s North Shore, lost spectacularly in 2019 to the original “teal”, Zali Steggall.

    The bad news has kept on coming.

  • That needless act, and the brash language justifying it, brought no interjection from Dutton.
  • It was an example of just the kind of braggadocio that could see even more Liberal women heading for the exits.

Gut bacteria and the immune system: How aging changes the microbiome and can lead to ‘inflammaging’

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, April 3, 2024

Research has shown that changes to the composition and diversity of the microorganisms in the gut may explain these differences in immune system aging.

Key Points: 
  • Research has shown that changes to the composition and diversity of the microorganisms in the gut may explain these differences in immune system aging.
  • However, as the composition of our gut microbiome changes with age, a low level of inflammation can become constant throughout the body.
  • Let’s take a closer look at the gut microbiome and how it changes with age.

Gut microbiome imbalances in older adults

  • In fact, compared to other parts of the body, the gut microbiome has the largest number of bacteria.
  • In a healthy gut microbiome, there are four dominant families (or phyla) of microorganisms, including Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria.
  • Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes make up around 80 to 90 per cent of the gut microbiota in the digestive tract.
  • Over time, the shortage of beneficial bacteria such as Firmicutes in older adults starts to compromise the integrity of their intestinal barrier, causing it to become leaky.

How inflammaging works

  • Inflammaging creates an environment that is prone to inflammation, which is caused and maintained by several factors.
  • These can include microorganism imbalances in the intestines (microbial dysbiosis), psychological stress, physical inactivity, poor nutrition and chronic infections.

Maintaining a healthy balance of gut microbiota

  • More specifically, probiotics help improve the function of the intestinal barrier and regulate immune responses by modifying the composition of the gut microbiome.
  • It is clear that the immune system has an intricate relationship with the gut microbiome.
  • A healthy and well-balanced gut microbiome will strengthen the intestinal barrier, which helps to reduce inflammation throughout the body and support the immune system.
  • To achieve this, it is important to maintain a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle as we grow older.

Cole's Wild Bird Feed, Co. Offers Expert Advice on Winning the War Against Squirrels at Birdfeeders

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, January 9, 2024

However, that doesn't mean bird lovers have to put up with squirrels scarfing down birdseed, damaging feeders and bumping up blood pressure.

Key Points: 
  • However, that doesn't mean bird lovers have to put up with squirrels scarfing down birdseed, damaging feeders and bumping up blood pressure.
  • Because squirrels love birdseed as much as birds do, both groups routinely battle for rights to birdfeeders.
  • It's not an equal fight – most squirrels are bigger than the average bird, so chances are they're going to devour the seed.
  • Cole's suggests using taste aversion and diversion feeding tactics to help win the age-old war at backyard birdfeeders.
