Two more open lectures
These two lectures are in Swedish, but you can easily use auto-translation. Eva Andersson will talk about physical activity and depression. Björg Helgadottir´s is about eating habits among children.
Physical activity is a good treatment for depression
Associate professor Eva Andersson explains that physical activity has preventive and acute effects on reduced symptoms/complaints in depression and anxiety disorders. In addition, a good treatment effect of physical activity is seen as a measure for mild to moderate depression, according to many scientific studies.
The presentation also addresses evidence that physical activity can positively affect various physiological changes in the brain and the rest of the body in individuals without and with depression and anxiety. Connections between increased sedentary behavior and mental illness are also touched upon.

Eating habits and interventions of young people
Postdoctoral researcher Björg Helgadottir talks about what your children should eat to grow and develop well.
The Swedish Food Agency's dietary recommendations, which are presented in the lecture, provide good guidance. But what do young people's eating habits really look like today, which life factors are linked to good eating habits and which interventions can help improve the habits? The lecture provides answers based on new research from GIH.
