In the news – health and nutrition research

In this week’s blog we provide a roundup of some of the most recent health and nutrition related articles in the news, five items comprising:

Anti-ageing diets: foods to add in & foods to avoid

Ageing is both a natural and unavoidable part of life but anti-ageing diets and many other dietary approaches can help to support healthy ageing and longevity pathways and minimise the risk of disease. In addition to the visible signs of ageing, there are many associated conditions, which include cognitive decline, osteoporosis, reduced mobility, hearing loss, and many more.

End of year reflections

The dark nights are in, the temperature has dropped and the clocks have changed – all signs that this year will soon be drawing to a close.

Probiotics for women: what are the health benefits?

Just why are probiotics for women important in terms of their benefits to health? A healthy balanced microbiome is important for us all and most of us would benefit from upping our intake of probiotic-rich foods or taking a probiotic supplement. However, women in general have slightly different needs and may require additional probiotic support relating to vaginal, digestive, hormonal and urogenital imbalances.

Skin function: the skin as an organ

The skin is the largest organ in the body. It may appear to be a superficial covering, but it possesses multiple functions and is fundamental to health.

Natural pain management

Pain afflicts millions of people worldwide and continues to be prevalent due to its complex pathogenesis. The body is a complex system that can be negatively affected by many factors in life, such as poor diet, lack of exercise, injury and illness, and environmental factors such as stress or toxin exposure.

Epinutrients: an exciting new approach to nutrition and wellness

Epinutrients and epigenetics are an exciting area of scientific research that shows how environmental influences, such as diet and nutrition, can affect the expression of our genes (or gene activity). As nutrition is one of the most important signals to our genes, for the purpose of this week’s blog we will take a look at ‘epinutrients’ and how these powerful nutritional compounds can impact our genes and benefit our health.

Human hormones and the seasons

Once the vibrant, fun packed summer comes to an end and we approach autumn and then winter, we can feel less vivacious and more lethargic than during the warmer months. This can affect mood and feelings of vitality; however, it is part of a normal cycle of life as we are intrinsically linked to the annual orbit of the Earth.

Vitamin D: 100 years on

2022 marked one hundred years since Elmer McCollum and Marguerite Davis, two biochemists, reported their discovery of a substance they would name – vitamin D. It was also the year that the connection between sunlight and vitamin D was made. A century on, and vitamin D continues to be at the forefront of research and the science has evolved rapidly, uncovering more and more about its benefits to our health. In fact, vitamin D has become the one of the most highly researched nutrients.

Supporting mood, focus and concentration

This may be one year that we can say that we truly have experienced a ‘proper’ summer. We have had prolonged warm spells and holidaying abroad has become more feasible again. While the hot weather has undoubtedly caused some issues in terms of comfort and plans, it has at least felt like summer has happened.
