Not getting enough Omega-3? You're not alone! 🐟

Most of us aren't consuming enough of this vital nutrient, which is essential for:
✅ Brain, eye, and nerve function
✅ Heart health
✅ Joint comfort and pain relief

If you're not eating enough seafood, a high-quality supplement can help fill the gap.

Did you know that broccoli sprouts and radish sprouts are more than just a tasty garnish? When combined, they create a potent health-boosting powerhouse, offering benefits that go beyond what either can provide alone.

Both broccoli and radish sprouts contain powerful compounds: sulforaphane (from broccoli) and sulforaphene (from radish). These two act as potent activators of your body's natural detoxification processes, helping to clear out harmful toxins. But here's the best part: when you combine them, you can get more than twice the amount of these beneficial compounds compared to broccoli sprouts alone! This is due to a unique enzyme in radishes that enhances the production of sulforaphane.

By combining broccoli and radish sprouts, you're not just supporting one aspect of your health—you're activating multiple defense mechanisms for a more holistic approach to wellness.

What exactly are probiotic foods? 🤔

You probably know that they're found in fermented foods, but here's a surprising fact: not all fermented foods contain probiotics!

Fermentation is a natural process where bacteria or yeast break down sugars, but the outcome depends on the process. For instance, the fermentation used to make beer doesn't produce probiotic bacteria, and the final product's alcohol and acids can actually work against a healthy gut.

On the other hand, foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, or live yogurt contain the right kind of bacteria to support your health.

So, if you're looking to boost your gut health, make sure to choose fermented foods that are specifically known for their live and active cultures. It's all about picking the right ones!

Did you know Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide? 🌍 While some risk factors like family history or age can't be changed, many lifestyle choices CAN make a difference!

Small changes can lead to big impacts on your health! 💪

Here are some modifiable factors that could help lower your CRC risk:

🏃‍♀️ Stay Active: Regular physical activity is key!

🍎 Eat Your Greens: Prioritise a nutrient-dense diet rich in fruits, veggies, and whole grains. Limit red and processed meats.

🚭 Quit Smoking: If you smoke, stopping is one of the best things you can do for your health.

🍻 Limit Alcohol: Reduce alcohol intake.

⚖️ Maintain a Healthy Weight: Excess weight and obesity are linked to increased risk.

Even conditions like gut dysbiosis, type 2 diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease can influence your risk. The good news? You have the power to make positive changes!

Gut imbalances and dysbiosis have been tied to an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC).

To clarify the gut dysbiosis/CRC relationship, research studies have been investigating shared gut microbial signatures that may be associated with CRC development and disease progression.

A new meta-analysis concludes that the microbial make-up of the gut microbiome is a significant factor associated with CRC development, and certain pathogenic microbes in the gut may be biomarkers useful in the screening, assessment, and early diagnosis of CRC.

While some mitochondrial aging is inevitable, you can take steps to dramatically slow this process, helping to boost overall longevity and wellness. According to research, two types of exercise provide powerful protection. The problem is, most people do neither.

Recent studies, two specific types of workouts—high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and strength training—have been shown to stimulate the creation of new, healthy mitochondria.

When you do these forms of exercise, it’s like upgrading your body’s energy factories to the latest model!

Did you know that Quercetin has been shown to provide support for a broad range of health conditions, including skin inflammation, anti-viral defense and metabolic function. It can significantly reduce oxidation and inflammation, while also moderating histamine and supporting the immune system! Good to think of it in the changing seasons.
