The Vitalitas Info Sheets: Essential information for healthy ageing by Dr Nick Siddle
Nutrition cannot eliminate your cancer; neither is homeopathy an alternative to proper chemotherapy. The Bristol Cancer Help Centre Scandal in the 1990's made that clear to the whole UK. [1]
BUT if you DO have a cancer diagnosis or as in my case, your spouse has, or a close family relative is affected, then naturally you are asking – "Does anything we do at home make a difference?"
Some more detailed examination of the benefits
of curcumin and the problems with formulation.
There are lots of necessary
supplements for the over 50’s [protein, ‘Vitamin’ D, vitamins B12 and B9
[Folate], Magnesium, Zinc …] At this point if you have followed my recommendations, you are
rattling and considering the expense.
So when it comes to other additional agents,
they must be really beneficial.
Curcumin [one of the active ingredients in
dietary turmeric -that golden spice that stains your kitchen yellow when you
have a curry] should definitely be on your list.
But … eating more Curry is not the answer.
How the bugs in your mouth affect your health [and what to do about it]
Bad mouth bugs [oral dysbiosis] can cause major problems: and it is a ‘fixable’ issue.
Yes, if you have this your breath may be bad and you may be un-kissable but there are more serious issues at stake!
It seems so easy, so modern-day! After a busy workday, your ready meal is in and out of the microwave in 7 minutes. Well - that really helps! Unfortunately, speedy food is not always healthy food.
It sounds like simple arithmetic, but your body is like a motor car, it isn’t the year it was made that matters … but how many miles it has done, how hard it has been driven and if it has been serviced and well maintained! Wear and tear is the critically issue. Let’s call this wear and tear your biological age in distinction to your chronological age – the years since you were born. Ideally your biological age is lower than your age at last birthday i.e. your body’s working parts are well maintained.
Not in the sense being rich materially, but rich in good 'quality of life' years. So your HealthSpan is the good years, your LifeSpan the total including those bad end-of-life years you have seen others have.
Want help you to limit the effects of ageing and maximise your HealthSpan?
