With an estimated 10 million people in England suffering from a Vitamin D deficiency, we need to take a serious look at what the consequences are of missing out on this vital ingredient for our bodies. As levels of stress hormone cortisol is lower in those who take the vitamin, as taking the vitamin can reduce the risks of blood pressure and other cardiovascular risk factors, as cyclists can cycle for longer when taking the supplement, lets delve deep into how useful vitamin D is for our bodies and why…

It is rare that I would write an article about a single nutrient, but there is one that I believe to be a game changer and needs to be brought in to the public eye—the Vitamin K2. The human body needs a variety of nutrients (vitamins, minerals, fatty acids) to function properly. When you are deficient in a particular nutrient, health problems generally arise. Since the human body is remarkably resilient it can take years to see any outright “symptoms” of a particular nutrient deficiency.

Statins are a class of prescription drugs that helps lower cholesterol. Their job is to block the enzyme that the body uses to make cholesterol in the liver. For years doctors have advised healthy patients to stop using these drugs and take up more exercise and a healthier lifestyle. However, only recently has evidence come to light that Statins are not pulling their weight.

Many people these days have some sort of allergy, from hay fever to Psoriasis. I have suffered from hay fever from the early age of 13. My symptoms were runny nose to itchy eyes. The same as most people who have this allergy.
