Dry Eye Syndrome – An Insight into the Importance of Omega 3
As mentioned on the NHS website, dry eye syndrome is a “common condition that occurs when the eyes do not make enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly”. In turn this leads to the eyes drying out and with it the onset of inflammation (swollen, irritant and red eyes). It is estimated that around 1 in 3 people over the age of 65 suffer from dry eyes, and it is more common in women than men.
Is it a Summer Cold or Hay Fever?
“The number of hay fever sufferers is expected to reach 20 million this summer – up five million from last year. And by 2030, that figure is predicted to reach 31.8 million”, reported the Daily Telegraph only last week alongside commenting that the pollen count is – surprise, surprise – currently soaring.
Water in all its Variety
Around 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water and every single living organism on this planet relies on it’s presence in order to survive. Without it, life would be impossible. However, with so many different ‘types’ of water available to us, how can it all be referred to by the same name?
Juices and smoothies for a healthy life
It is a frightening statistic that in the UK on average we are consuming around 2.7 portions of fruit and vegetables a day, which is in stark contrast to the UK Government ‘5 A day’ message that we are all aware of. Each portion of fruit and vegetables eaten a day gives 20% of our daily needs of antioxidant and protective nutrients so it is essential that we optimise this intake for our own individual well-being. Juices and ‘Smoothies’ provide one alternative method to help optimise ones nutritional intake on a daily basis.
Diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME – What’s missing?
It is estimated that around 250,000 people in the UK suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), with 1 in 4 of these sufferers experiencing severe symptoms that affect quality of life and seriously reduce mobility. It is a condition, along with many other chronic diseases, that appears to be in a ‘grey area’ in terms of treatment and a possible cure. But could we be looking in the wrong direction for an explanation?
Nutrient Depletions that arise from Prescribed Drugs
There are times when medication is essential and we are in no doubt about their efficacy in certain conditions. But it is important to realise that many drugs, particularly those taken over the longer term, can deplete levels of certain nutrients in the body, or increase our needs for the same.
Food-Based Supplements – Bridging your ‘Nutrition Gap’
This year Cytoplan celebrates it’s 25th Anniversary in the field of food-based supplementation and throughout this time we have remained unmoved in our nutritional philosophy; ‘improving the health of the nation’. Our thinking at Cytoplan is catalysed by the rationale that there is a ‘nutrition gap’ in our diets by virtue of several factors (on which we elaborate further later in this article) and that most people today, even in the developed world, have significant nutritional shortfalls.
Fertility and Pregnancy – The Importance of Nutrition
It is estimated that around one in seven UK couples experience difficulty in conceiving, with a poor diet being one of the major contributory factors. Unfortunately, despite its importance for conception and fertility, a lack of nutrition can often be over looked with the most common cause of infertility frequently being labelled as ‘unexplained’.
Nutrigenomics and Genetics – We are Pioneers!
“We are perhaps pioneers” so observed Dr Ben Lynch to an audience of over two hundred health practitioners in London earlier this month. He was commenting on the exciting times we live in from a health perspective, where our understanding of our individual genes and how nutritional plays a critical role in our long term health, is growing rapidly.
