The Mediterranean diet: a naturally occurring model of multi-supplementation – Part 1
Our blog this week comes in two parts, with the second to follow next week, written by Miguel Toribio-Mateas. Miguel is an experienced nutrition practitioner and researcher with a specialisation in ageing and particularly brain ageing, having completed a MSc in Clinical Neuroscience at Roehampton University along with extensive professional development in this subject, including a fellowship in metabolic and nutritional medicine with the Metabolic Medicine Institute (US) and a US Board Certification in Clinical Science of Anti-Ageing.
Do You or Your Client Have An Enigmatic Illness? Shining the Light on Recovery from ME, Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a condition that is considered to affect around 250,000 throughout the United Kingdom – with symptoms varying greatly in severity from person to person. Yet what seems to be so perplexing when it comes to fatigue-related conditions such as CFS, Fibromyalgia and ME is the lack of diagnosis, treatment and recovery that is available. A focus on treating symptoms as opposed to finding the root cause of a condition has left thousands of people with debilitating, life changing illnesses that apparently ‘have no cure’.
Nutrient Support for Cardiovascular Health
Due to medical advancements, death rates from heart disease are falling. Nevertheless, it was reported in 2019 that cardiovascular disease accounted for 27% of all deaths in the United Kingdom. However, the WHO (World Health Organization) have estimated that more than ‘80% of premature heart attacks and strokes are preventable’, with a healthy diet and other lifestyle factors being central to this.
Can we blame the increase in Alzheimer’s on our genes?
As we have noted in previous blogs, the prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease is increasing and by 2050 it is predicted it will affect 160 million people globally. Over 200 genes so far have been identified that influence the risk of Alzheimer’s – so is this disease a consequence of our genetics or a mismatch of our genes with our environment?
Osteoporosis: Protecting your bones for the future
Recent reports have shown that rickets is increasing in children in the UK. This is not only a problem for children that have the condition currently but also an indication that children’s bone density may not be achieving optimal peak bone mass by their twenties; this may have a negative effect on the health of those children in the future.
Wholegrains have been shown to be protective but does that mean we need gluten?
There have been a couple of studies that have hit the headlines lately which have shown that wholegrains are protective against cancer and heart disease. Grains such as wheat, rye and barley are fibre dense and contribute to a large percentage of many people’s wholegrain intake, however they also contain the protein gluten. Therefore, some journalists have made the assumption that gluten free diets are bad for your health (see links below). The truth is that while wholegrains do have health benefits, gluten is a problem for many people. In this week’s blog we are going to take a look at both sides of the issue.
The Microbial Translocation of Lipopolysaccharide – A Key Mediator of Disease
“A decrease in the desirable gastrointestinal bacteria will lead to deterioration in gastrointestinal, neuroendocrine or immune relationships and ultimately disease” (Cryan, 2011). Contributing to our on-going focus on neurodegenerative disease, in this week’s blog we take a look at lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the wide-reaching impacts it can have on human health, particularly in relation to the brain.
