Medium Chain Triglyceride Oil

Why MCT oil can be beneficial

There is proven value in weight control, migraine and cluster headache, Minimal Cognitive Impairment [MCI], and in achieving muscle gain in frailty management.

Although there are many internet claims of sleep improvement there are no human studies of value to prove this.

Managing Sugar

Sweet enough! Managing the sugars in your diet

You have a 'sweet tooth' and crave sugary things. OK, it's not a weakness, it's genetic ie you can blame it on your parents*. However, sadly the consequences of this are entirely your responsibility. If you are struggling with your weight, then you need a sugar [reduction] strategy, and that is also critically important for a good HealthSpan and Alzheimer's avoidance. A high sugar diet means blood sugar spikes after eating which leads to insulin resistance [lots of metabolic issues] and fat storage. You choose.

Not just bad breath! Your Oral Microbiome is HEALTH-CRITICAL

Focus on…

How the bugs in your mouth affect your health [and what to do about it]

This matters, because…

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!

Supernutrition #5: Hormones, Diet & Body Composition

Hormones diet and body composition

The three principal sex hormones, Oestradiol (E), Testosterone (T) and Progesterone (P) all interact with diet, metabolism and body composition. Ghrelin and Leptin moderate intake and insulin determines fat storage. Thyroid function regulates energy metabolism. Anyone with weight problems (too much or too little) may need hormone evaluation and/or treatment. Reduction in output of E & T post menopause or in 60+ men has adverse consequences that you may wish to counter.

Body Composition, not Body Weight

You may think being on top of age means being weight obsessed. But in reality, it is the quality of what your body consists of that is important in terms of limiting ageing.

The key is having a sense of how much muscle [positive] you have and how much central fat [potentially damaging] you have gained.

So the number on the scale is less important  as long as you are travelling in the right direction.
