Wild dog pair spotted in Debrigarh
1 2 Bhubaneswar: In a rare development that brings cheer to Debrigarh wildlife sanctuary, a pair of wild dogs was sighted after two years of a lone male wild dog being captured for the first time. Debrigarh authorities said the sighting raises hope for breeding. The endangered wild dog, also known as the Indian dhole, and they don't bark but whistle. They are also known as the whistlers of the wood. "After more than a decade, a wild dog reappeared in Debrigarh during the winter of 2023. But its number remained one continuously until a pair—one male and one female—was recorded on Monday. Initially, the lone dog stayed confined to the core, but it started roaming in the tourism zone of the sanctuary, making itself visible to a number of tourists during safaris," said Anshu Pragyan Das, divisional forest officer, Hirakud wildlife division. Wildlife officials said Debrigarh records a healthy population of prey base for wild dogs, with an increasing number of fawns and calves in sambar, chital, and wild boar herds this year, besides plenty of small mammals and other animals in its forest. "Competition to grab food sources is equally high, as the sanctuary records a good population of leopards, more than 80, and also a healthy population of hyenas. In 2023, for the first time, one wolf was recorded in the sanctuary, and till now, the single wolf is seen moving in the core area," Dash added. Officials said the wild dog is a Schedule-1 species, endangered with a global population averaging 5,000. They are mostly seen in secured, protected areas, never outside forests or in disturbed and fragmented habitats. Wild dogs are carnivores, and tigers and leopards are their competitors as far as prey hunting is concerned. "Because of habitat fragmentation, their number is decreasing in the wild. Inbreeding or repeated breeding is also one of the reasons for their dwindling number," wildlife officials said. Officials said there could be more wild dogs in the sanctuary and along the periphery areas. They move in packs to hunt prey animals, the ones the tigers and leopards choose for their food. "Focused grassland (meadow) management has helped attract herbivores towards the sanctuary. So, instead of them moving along the boundaries and along peripheries (fringes) for grass, now they move inside the sanctuary. This ultimately results in an ever-increasing carnivore population," a wildlife officer said.

‘Mind diet': Eating right can protect cognitive health as you age
There's long been evidence that what we eat can affect our risk of dementia, Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline as we age. But can any one diet actually keep the brain strong and lower dementia risk? Evidence suggests the so-called 'Mind diet' might. The Mind diet (which stands for the Mediterranean-Dash intervention for neurocognitive delay) combines the well-established Mediterranean diet with the 'Dash' diet (dietary approaches to stop hypertension). However, it also includes some specific dietary modifications based on their benefits to cognitive health. Both the Mediterranean diet and Dash diet are based on traditional eating patterns from countries which border the Mediterranean sea. Both emphasise eating plenty of plant-based foods (such as fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds), low-fat dairy products (such as milk and yoghurts) and lean proteins including fish and chicken. Both diets include very little red and processed meats. The Dash diet, however, places greater emphasis on consuming low-sodium foods, less added sugar and fewer saturated and trans-fats to reduce blood pressure. Both diets are well-researched and shown to be effective in preventing lifestyle-related diseases – including cardiovascular disease and hypertension. They're also shown to help protect the brain's neurons from damage and benefit cognitive health. The Mind diet follows many of the core tenets of both diets but places greater emphasis on consuming more foods that contain nutrients which promote brain health and prevent cognitive decline, including: flavonoids and polyphenols found in fruit, vegetables, tea and dark chocolate folate found in leafy greens and legumes N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids found in oily fish, nuts and seeds. Numerous studies have been conducted on the Mind diet, and the evidence for this dietary approach's brain health benefit is pretty convincing. For instance, one study asked 906 older adults about their usual diet – giving them a 'Mind score' based on the number of foods and nutrients they regularly consumed that are linked with lower dementia risk. The researchers found a link between people who had a higher Mind diet score and slower cognitive decline when followed up almost five years later. Another study of 581 participants found that people who had closely followed either the Mind diet or the Mediterranean diet for at least a decade had fewer signs of amyloid plaques in their brain when examined post-mortem. Amyloid plaques are a key hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. Higher intake of leafy greens appeared to the most important dietary component. A systematic review of 13 studies on the Mind diet has also found a positive association between adherence to the Mind diet and cognitive performance and function in older people. One paper included in the review even demonstrated a 53% reduction in Alzheimer's disease risk in those that adhered to the diet. It's important to note that most of this research is based on observational studies and food frequency questionnaires, which have their limitations in research due to reliability and participant bias. Only one randomised control trial was included in the review. It found that women who were randomly assigned to follow the Mind diet over a control diet for a short period of time showed a slight improvement in memory and attention. Research in this field is ongoing, so hopefully we'll soon have a better understanding of the diet's benefits – and know exactly why it's so beneficial. Mind your diet UK public health guidance recommends people follow a balanced diet to maintain good overall health. But the Mind diet offers a more targeted approach for those hoping to look after their cognitive health. While public health guidance encourages people to eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables daily, the Mind diet would recommend choosing leafy green vegetables (such as spinach and kale) and berries for their cognitive benefits. Similarly, while UK guidance says to choose unsaturated fats over saturated ones, the Mind diet explicitly recommends that these fats come from olive oil. This is due to the potential neuroprotective effects of the fats found in olive oil. If you want to protect your cognitive function as you age, here are some other small, simple swaps you can make each day to more closely follow the Mind diet: upgrade your meals by sprinkling nuts and seeds on cereals, salads or yoghurts to increase fibre and healthy fats eat the rainbow of fruit and vegetables, aiming to fill half your plate with these foods canned and frozen foods are just as nutrient-rich as fresh fruits and vegetables bake or airfry vegetables and meats instead of frying to reduce fat intake opt for poly-unsaturated fats and oils in salads and dressings – such as olive oil bulk out meat or meat alternatives with pulses, legumes chickpeas or beans. These can easily be added into dishes such as spaghetti bolognese, chilli, shepherd's pie or curry use tinned salmon, mackerel or sardines in salads or as protein sources for meal planning. These small changes can have a meaningful impact on your overall health – including your brain's health. With growing evidence linking diet to cognitive function, even little changes to your eating habits may help protect your mind as you age.
