Our Editorial Standards
At Dailyhabitshealth, we are committed to publishing accurate, evidence-based information about the connection between food and mood. Our editorial process ensures every article meets rigorous standards for quality, transparency, and scientific integrity.
We believe our readers deserve content they can trust. This page outlines our publishing principles, fact-checking methodology, and how we maintain accountability across all our work.
Our Editorial Principles
Evidence-Based Content
All health claims are grounded in peer-reviewed research, clinical studies, and established nutritional science. We cite authoritative sources and avoid anecdotal claims presented as fact.
Expert Authorship
Articles are written or reviewed by qualified professionals including registered dieticians, nutritionists, and health researchers. Author credentials are transparently disclosed.
Independence & Transparency
We disclose potential conflicts of interest, including partnerships or affiliate relationships. Our editorial decisions are guided by what benefits our readers, not commercial interests.
Accuracy & Corrections
We take errors seriously and correct them promptly. When factual mistakes are identified, we update articles and note corrections transparently.
Our Fact-Checking Process
Research & Source Collection
All articles begin with comprehensive research into peer-reviewed journals, clinical databases, and academic institutions. We prioritise primary research over secondary summaries and verify the quality and relevance of each source.
Expert Review
Before publication, articles are reviewed by qualified healthcare professionals or subject-matter experts. Reviewers assess accuracy, evaluate source quality, and suggest improvements to clarity and balance.
Editorial Verification
Our editorial team independently verifies key claims, checks citations, and ensures all health advice aligns with current clinical guidelines. We confirm that quotes are accurate and statistics are correctly reported.
Ongoing Monitoring & Updates
After publication, we monitor articles for new research, emerging evidence, or changes in medical guidance. When significant updates occur, we revise content to remain current and inform readers of substantial changes.

Corrections & Updates Policy
How We Handle Errors
If you identify a factual error, scientific inaccuracy, or misquote in any of our articles, we encourage you to let us know. We take corrections seriously and will investigate thoroughly.
- We verify the claim against original sources
- Consult with relevant experts if needed
- Update the article with accurate information
- Post a "Correction" or "Updated" note explaining the change
Report an Error
Have you spotted an inaccuracy? We value your feedback. Please contact us with details about the article, the specific claim, and why you believe it's incorrect.
Email: [email protected]
Please include: article title, publication date, specific passage in question, and a brief explanation of the error. We'll acknowledge receipt and provide an update within two weeks.
Content Updates & Revisions
Minor Updates
Small clarifications, grammar fixes, or formatting improvements are made without formal notification. The article "last updated" date is revised.
Significant Corrections
When a factual error is found, we add a prominent "Correction" note at the top of the article stating what was changed, when, and why. The original publication date remains visible.
Major Content Revisions
When new research substantially changes our understanding of a topic, we revise the article significantly. A note explains the update, references the new evidence, and shows the revision date.
Archival of Outdated Content
If an article becomes substantially inaccurate and cannot be reliably updated, we may archive it or add a clear disclaimer about its outdated status, directing readers to current information.
