Supporting Lung Health Naturally: The Gut-Lung Connection and Winter Respiratory Resilience

Breath is the first gift we receive as we enter this world. From the very first inhale to our last, our lungs work quietly in the background of every moment of our lives. A healthy adult takes around 20,000 breaths each day, yet most barely notice. We tend to think of the lungs as simply taking air in and air out. But their role reaches much further. They touch energy, immunity, elimination, resilience and even how we meet the world around us. Perhaps it’s time we gave them a little more attention.Breath:...

Could CaricolĀ® Gastro Support Reflux Symptoms During a Clinically Supervised Reduction in PPI Use?

In the past decade, I’ve witnessed an increasing number of clients taking PPIs and then having difficulty in stopping them. They were originally intended for short term use only, but now I have clients who have been on these drugs for years. Therefore, any natural remedy which can support the process of coming off PPIs with the least amount of symptoms and rebound acid reflux episodes is very welcome. Not just in the UK but in many countries, interest in appropriate proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use...

Rising Cancer Rates Among Younger Adults: The Role of Diet and Lifestyle

The notion that cancer is predominantly a disease of old age is evolving. Recent analyses indicate that in the G20 group of industrialised nations, cancer rates are increasing more rapidly among younger populations compared to older ones. This trend has been confirmed by scientists at the American Cancer Society (ACS), who found that younger generations, particularly Gen X and Millennials, are more likely to develop certain types of cancer than Baby Boomers[1]. Half of the 34 types of cancer studied...

Lifestyle and Nutrient Modulators of Neuroplasticity, Brain Health and Energy

Age Related Cognitive Decline The projected demographic shift towards a global elderly population reaching 2.1 billion by the year 2050 implies a significant escalation in the incidence of age-related disorders, which carry profound personal, social, and economic implications. This is further exacerbated by evidence linking nonpathological aging to functional deterioration in critical neural substrates underpinning cognitive faculties. Empirical research has consistently demonstrated that aging...

A rationale for policy change, nudging and commercial regulation of ultra-processed foods

Ā  Ultra-processed foods encompass a wide range of items, spanning from carbonated beverages to breakfast cereals and from pre-packaged snacks to cured meats. These products are notorious for their extensive use of additives, which are often detrimental to health. Among these additives are oils, fats, sugars, starches, and sodium, which not only diminish the nutritional value of the food but also pose potential health risks[1]. Additionally, emulsifiers such as carrageenan, mono- and diglycerides...
