Hay Fever, Allergies and the Allergic Reaction
It is that time of year again as the sun shines and daylight hours lengthen, for many of us our spirits are up. Unfortunately for a sizeable proportion of the population it also means the start of months of varying misery as our allergic reactions skew our immune system and hay fever and related allergies abound.
Vitamins for the Brain?
The crucial role that a good diet and nutrition play in long-term cognitive health is frequently overlooked. Maintaining a good nutritional diet is more commonly associated with health issues such as the heart (blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes), or managing weight, a healthier digestion, improved appearance such as skin and hair, disease prevention, etc.
‘Goodbye Probiotic, Hello Live Native Bacteria!’
Sadly at Cytoplan we are shortly drawing to a close our use of the word “Probiotic” in all relevant product packaging plus online and print materials (etc.). So soon, when you are looking for our range of supplements that we have sold for decades and designed to support gut health you will be confronted instead with the term “Live Native Bacteria”.
EFA’s and Omega 3 – health support for all the family
Not everyone will be familiar with the term ‘EFA’s’ and how relevant it is to diet and health, however many more people are well aware of the nutritional term ‘Omega 3’ and the beneficial health aspects of a diet rich in this nutrient.

Natural Dietary Detoxification
For many people the term ‘detox’ immediately conjures visions of minimalist diets comprising perhaps just water and the odd carrot. The reality is of course that a sensible detoxification diet is not a hardship. And indeed many people benefit from a short period of detoxification with a dietary ‘regime’ of their own choosing that simply minimises the ingestion of certain foods and drinks.
Menopause and Osteoporosis
Menopause is a time of change and an important change in nutritional requirements too. And for those women in ‘perimenopause’, the transitional stage prior to menopause when oestrogen levels start to fall, a focus on gradually adapting your diet to meet the needs of menopause is a good idea.
Heart health and nutrition: What does a heart healthy diet look like?
February is National Heart Month in the UK, a campaign from the British Heart Foundation to raise awareness of heart conditions and promote healthy living. We all know how important a sensible diet and exercise is in supporting our heart health, so in this week’s blog, our Nutritional Therapist Annie will be taking a closer look at certain vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that may play an important role in supporting your overall cardiovascular health.
The Authentic Paleo Lifestyle – Part 2 – A Suitable Diet
This is the second (and final) part of an in-depth article on ‘Paleo’ Lifestyle and specifically ‘Paleo Diet’ provided by Geoff Bond. In part one Geoff outlined how considerable changes in our typical modern diet compared to Paleo times are considered important factors in a dramatic rise in ‘modern’ ailments from obesity and diabetes to heart disease.
