MS care: integrating advanced therapies and holistic management - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38351950/

Lifestyle and environmental factors are key determinants in disease causality and progression in neurological conditions, including multiple sclerosis (MS). Lack of exercise, poor diet, tobacco smoking, excessive alcohol intake, social...

Lifestyle and environmental factors impact multiple sclerosis progression. Adopting brain-healthy, metabolically-healthy habits, alongside disease-modifying therapies, and emphasizing self-management with a multidisciplinary approach, can improve outcomes in MS patients.

Impact of Lifestyle Interventions on Multiple Sclerosis: Focus on Adipose Tissue - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39339700/

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by demyelination in the central nervous system (CNS), affecting individuals globally. The pathological mechanisms underlying MS remain unclear, but current evidence...

This review explores the role of adipose tissue, adipokines, and lifestyle factors like physical activity and nutrition in modulating inflammation and immune responses, aiming to improve multiple sclerosis management and quality of life.
