A Christmas meal – through the eyes of a Functional Nutrition Practitioner
This weeks’ article is written by our guest blogger, Miguel Toribio-Mateas, who provides a light-hearted look at Christmas meals and his top five functional festive foods. Christmas can often be a time of overindulgence and we tend to be spoilt for choice at the dinner table. With an abundance of roasted vegetables, dark chocolate and steamed sprouts on offer, Miguel explores the nourishment which is found on many dinner plates during the festive season.

Glutathione benefits: advantages of the master antioxidant
Glutathione is a potent antioxidant found in both animals and plants. Often known as the “master antioxidant”, the benefits of glutathione include the ability to recycle other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, alpha lipoic acid and CoQ10.

Nutrients required for female fertility
To follow on from last week’s blog ‘male fertility and mitochondrial function’, this blog is focusing on female fertility. Low fertility, which is thought to effect one in six couples trying to conceive, can be a heart breaking and very stressful situation. Often there is no decisive causative factor leading to infertility or subfertility.
Mitochondrial function and male fertility
Mitochondria are organelles inside every cell which are responsible for energy production, they are essential for all living processes. In this week’s article, we are discussing the importance of mitochondria for male fertility. It is thought that infertility, or subfertility, affects 6% of men aged between 16 and 50. This blog will explore the factors which contribute to low fertility and how you can support mitochondrial function to promote sperm production.

Have you ever considered how much time a day you spend sitting down? And what impact this may be having on your health?

But what are the negative impacts that a sedentary lifestyle has on our health? And how is it different from simply not exercising enough?
