Important to get outdoors as often as possible

Our light exposure has changed drastically over the past 20 years, with the introduction of energy-efficient LED light bulbs. Now, we’re discovering how they're short on red wavelengths, which messes with our mitochondria, contributing to diabetes, dementia and more.

A 2022 double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found that Boswellia serrata may improve memory, learning, processing speed and executive function in people living with chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Researchers believe its anti-inflammatory properties may help reduce ongoing neuroinflammation, which is increasingly recognised as an important factor in long-term recovery after brain injury.

While larger studies are still needed, these early results are certainly encouraging and highlight the potential role of targeted nutritional and herbal support in neurological health.

After bowel polyp removal, looking after your gut health is more important than ever.

While probiotics don't prevent polyps from returning, they can help support a healthy gut microbiome, promote bowel regularity, assist recovery after bowel procedures or antibiotics, and support the normal function of the intestinal lining.

Combined with a high-fibre diet, regular screening, exercise and a healthy lifestyle, maintaining a healthy gut microbiome is one positive step you can take for long-term bowel health.

As always, not all probiotics are the same—the right strain should be chosen

Why I Love Wheat Heat Packs

A good-quality wheat heat pack is one of the simplest and most effective self-care tools you can have at home.

As you can see in the photo, they mould comfortably around the neck and shoulders, providing gentle, sustained warmth exactly where it's needed.

• Helps relax tight, sore muscles
• Can reduce stiffness in joints and connective tissues
• Encourages local blood flow to the area being treated
• Provides relief for neck, shoulder and upper back tension
• Useful for menstrual discomfort and general aches and pains
• Portable, reusable and completely drug-free
• Can also be used cold for minor bumps and injuries

Heat therapy can help muscles relax, improve mobility, and provide temporary relief from many common muscular aches and pains.

Always follow the manufacturer's heating instructions and never use wheat bags while sleeping.

Sometimes the simplest remedies really are the best.

Myth vs Fact: What Science Really Says About Eggs

Science has officially debunked the cholesterol myth, confirming that eggs aren’t unhealthy.

In fact, they are a nutritional powerhouse.

For decades, the humble egg was vilified as a primary cause of high cholesterol, but modern science has finally cleared its name. Research shows that dietary cholesterol has a negligible effect on blood cholesterol for the vast majority of people, as the liver naturally adjusts its own production to maintain balance. The real culprits behind rising LDL levels are diets high in saturated fats, trans fats, and refined sugars, combined with a lack of fiber. Current nutritional consensus now suggests that consuming up to one egg per day is not only safe for healthy individuals but can serve as an affordable, high-quality protein source within a varied diet.

Beyond the cholesterol debate, many consumers still fall for myths regarding egg color and the "danger" of yolks. In truth, shell color is purely a genetic trait of the hen and carries no nutritional significance. Furthermore, while egg whites provide protein, the yolk is the nutritional engine of the egg, containing essential vitamins A and D, iron, and choline, which is vital for brain function. By consuming the whole egg and focusing on whole-food pairings like nuts and olive oil, you can maximize your nutrient intake while ignoring the outdated guidelines that once limited this dietary staple.
