Osteoarthritis: causes, drivers and interventions for protection
Osteoarthritis is a condition characterised by the World Health Organisation as the deterioration of cartilage in joints which results in bones rubbing together and creating stiffness, pain, and impaired movement. The degeneration and loss of cartilage can subsequently lead to alterations of the subchondral (underneath cartilage) bone. It is a reasonably common condition, 80% of adults over 50 will demonstrate some evidence of OA, which many people associated with wear and tear, as it is correlated with advancing age and excess pressure on joints.
Long covid part 2 – the mitochondria
As discussed in part one, long covid is a phenomenon which is multi factorial and symptoms experienced are varied but include breathlessness, a cough that won’t go away, joint pain, muscle aches, hearing and eyesight problems, headaches, loss of smell and taste as well as damage to the heart, lungs, kidneys and gut. However, the most common feature is significant fatigue which occurs following infection with covid19, the coronavirus SARS-CoV2. It is estimated that as many as 1.1 million people in the UK may have long COVID and the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) released a review suggesting it could be multifactorial.
The impact of poor sleep
Sleep is a wonderful aspect of life that can often be either an enigma or a non-priority to some people. It is a strange evolutionary trait which renders all organisms vulnerable to attack and predation due to the inducement of a state of perceived unconscious paralysis.

Magnesium – the underestimated mineral
Magnesium1 is one of seven macro minerals that needs to be consumed in levels of over 100mg a day. It plays an important role in over 300 enzyme reactions in the body. According to the Human Genome Project more than 3500 proteins have binding sites for magnesium, so it is essential for numerous functions within the body. 50-60% of it is found in the bones, the remaining 50-40% is mainly found in muscles, soft-tissue and bodily and cellular fluids. European Union NRV levels recommend 375mg daily.
