The most common cause of heart attacks and strokes is atherosclerotic cardiovascular and/or cerebrovascular disease. We all know that nutrition and exercise is important but how you breathe has a direct impact on how the heart functions. This blog helps to explain.

Looking forward to this event on Thursday in Tunbridge wells with Pharma Nord. This is a full-day in-person seminar and helps to keep my knowledge up to date as well as counting towards my CPD.

Chronic stress and poor thyroid function both cause significant damage to human health, driving problems with energy, mood and sleep; and also insidiously setting us up for debilitating illnesses like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, immune and neurodegenerative problems.

The focus is on the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal-thyroid-immune axis how these inter-related life support systems work, how we fuel them, what can go wrong, and how we can use nutrition and lifestyle to restore balance and resilience.

👍 Prevention is better than cure

😔 Most of us know someone, family or friend that's been affected by dementia.

❗ This statistic is astounding. Someone in the UK develops dementia every three minutes!

🌈 It can take a long time to obtain a diagnosis but you can take the Food for the brain Foundation’s (FFB), Cognitive Function Test (CFT) here: https://foodforthebrain.org/the-cognitive-function-test/. It’s free and provides a personalised Dementia Risk Index, based on eight key lifestyle and biological factors.

🗞️ It's in the news at the moment because in a project led by Professor Vanessa Raymont at the University of Oxford, the CFT will now be integrated into NHS-linked research into tests to enable accurate detection of dementia risk. The goal is early detection so changes to nutrition and lifestyle can be made to protect the brain from damage.

😀 Hope this is useful for you all.
