The term inflammation comes up a lot in both our blog and across the health and wellness industry. It’s easy to get the impression that inflammation is innately negative, and something to be feared. However, inflammation (or specifically acute inflammation) is a normal and healthy response from our body to help us fight pathogens and infections that can make us seriously ill. But chronic inflammation, where the body regularly experiences prolonged or localised inflammation, can cause serious and even debilitating pain. In this week’s blog, I’d like to take an in-depth look at what causes infl ..read more

The key to staying mobile is not to stop moving. It seems simple, but it is easy to underestimate how much harder it is to get active after a period of inactivity. For many people getting active and mobile is a simple question of finding the time and motivation to do so. But for many others, getting active can mean facing pain and discomfort caused by our bodies. For those who struggle with mobility getting out to a gym or going for a jog in the park may not be an option. However, by starting with small exercises at home, we can slowly build up our muscles, balance and fitness to a point wher ..read more

We need water. Living on a planet that is covered 71% by water, we have a long history of depending on water to grow crops, transport ourselves and most importantly stay hydrated. Much like the earth we live on, we are mostly made of water, around 60%. Water is essential for human survival, we can survive up to three weeks without consuming food, but only three days without water. Our bodies utilise water for a huge range of processes from regulating our body temperature, clearing out our kidneys and digestive systems and keeping our joints lubricated and supple. But we are not drinking enoug ..read more

The world doesn’t make it easy to stay active. Many of us these days find ourselves tethered to a desk, sitting down on our commutes or just too busy to find some time to stretch exercise and get our bodies moving again.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as superfoods. Superfood was a term coined by The United Fruit Company in the early 20th century to help market bananas to a public that had recently gained access to a wide range of exotic fruits. Marketed as a diverse source of healthy nutrition, doctors endorsed this new superfood as a cure or preventative measure against a variety of illnesses and afflictions. One hundred years later, the term superfood describes a range of foods that are high in nutrients that keep us fit, healthy and disease-free. With such a wide array of foods touted as superfoo ..read more

Getting active and staying active may be one of the most important factors in maintaining our independence and keeping healthy and mobile. Once we start slowing down, it can become difficult to get active and moving again. Over the last month, we have partnered with cricket legend and philanthropist Ian Botham to help promote the benefits of physical exercise and get Britain moving more. But what does that mean? And what other initiatives and programs can we access to get support while we try to get mobile? In this week’s blogs, I’d like us to look at a range of services and schemes you can a ..read more

It’s that time of year again. Just the same as 2022 I still haven’t done any Christmas shopping, I owe my family several phone calls and I am still to realise my summertime ambitions of finishing off a plethora of domestic tasks and life admin that I said would be done before the year ends. The new year marks the time, when we reflect on the past year and make resolutions for how we might better ourselves next year. But as many of us know, these resolutions often fall flat or get left by the wayside as the business of life after Christmas resumes. In this blog, I’d like to share some tips on ..read more

Our bodies are comprised of several complex systems that work together to allow us to function. One of the most complex and important of these systems is our gut or our gastrointestinal system. Our gastrointestinal system includes our stomachs, intestines and colon and is responsible for breaking down our food into nutrients and getting rid of the waste left over. Our gut health is more important than you might think. Our guts play a role not only in how we absorb the food we eat but also has an impact on our physical and mental health. In this week’s blog, I’d like us to examine why gut heal ..read more

As an older teenager, one day I woke up feeling sad and overwhelmed. Unfortunately the next day, I had the same experience. This carried on day after day until I eventually reached out to a doctor. Upon describing my symptoms to a doctor, he concluded I was suffering from depression. Depression can creep up on anyone, regardless of age, gender or background. It can be a slow slide into a negative pattern of thoughts or there could be a specific day or event that triggers it. Research by the Office of National Statistics indicates that up to one in six adults may suffer from moderate to severe ..read more
