That eating plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and legumes is beneficial for health is well known. More surprising, however, is that people who eat in a environmentally-friendly way also display nutritional values that are better than researchers had expected. This is shown in a new study from Lund University. The EAT–Lancet diet is a global dietary guideline developed to promote both human health

How regional, local and national governments decide to develop coastal regions affects 21st century flood exposure more than climate threats according to a new study, focusing on China. The research, which for the first time integrates projected land use change under different policies, sea-level rise, extreme events, and land subsidence, identifies that strategic coastal planning can have huge ef

Can you tell us a little about your research area? How would you describe your work?I am primarily a clinician and my research questions emerge from what I encounter in everyday life with my patients. The interest in arthrosis in particular was awakened through my work with patients who have wrist arthrosis. I saw that there was a lack of studies comparing the outcome of wrist arthroplasty versus

The climate cannot handle the amount of animals we eat. There needs to be a protein shift, according to researcher Karolina Östbring who is involved in the Sustainability Week. Her vision is to create a platform for research on vegetable proteins at LU. Karolina Östberg  Photo: Kennet Ruona. The human population is growing, while our ecological footprint needs to become much lower in order to redu

Since February, Professor Glyn Williams has been working with us. We were curious about who Glyn is and what his research is about, so we decided to ask him a few questions to get to know him a little better. Hi, Glyn! And welcome to Lund University. Which university did you recently come from?– Thank you! I came from University of Sheffield, where I worked from 2006, having previously held posts

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. We know that noise affects our ability to learn as well as generating irritation and stress. This, in turn, reduces efficiency and well-being in the workplace. Some research findings indicate that workplace efficiency could increase by as much as 50% with the right sound environment.     Memory researchers and cogniti

It is important to look up from time to time and be inspired by research areas other than your own. "Cross-fertilisation between different medical research fields may lead to unexpected and groundbreaking results for the prepared mind". "The Lund Spring Symposium offers just such inspiration”, says the organiser, Professor Lars Grundemar, who urges our researchers not to miss this unique opportuni

År 2023 var det varmaste året som någonsin har uppmätts och 2024 kommer att bli ännu varmare. Demokratin är på tillbakagång och bristen på mat ökar, som en följd av militära konflikter, ekonomiska kriser och extremväder. Förenta nationernas möjligheter att agera globalt är betydligt sämre än tidigare, som en följd av det geopolitiska läget. Detta under en tid när vi verkligen skulle behöva interna

Livsmedelsforskare i Lund har upptäckt att det är hälsosamt att få i sig små mängder krom och vissa aminosyror före maten. Varför? Jo, denna blandning utspädd i vatten dämpar rejält den blodsockerstegring som uppstår när man äter. Nu hoppas de att drycken – som smakar som vanligt mineralvatten - ska kunna konkurrera
