Autumn brings cooler weather (sweater weather!) and a drop in humidity, which makes for dry, stale air and even drier skin.

It's also the perfect time to reassess your go-to skin-care routine. And, in general, it's always good to approach skin care seasonally, just like you do your wardrobe.

5 SUPERFOODS FOR YOUR HEART

Keeping your heart healthy is as much about putting the right nutrients in to your body as it is about keeping the wrong substances out. Foods that contain saturated fats, salt and high levels of processed sugar are all “No-no’s” (as is smoking). If you are concerned about your heart, eating well and avoiding the above foods and toxins may help. Eating more of the below 5 superfoods for a healthy heart may also be of benefit to overall heart health. Looking after your heart is serious business. As this article is being written, heart disease is the leading underlying cause of death in Australia. If you have serious concerns about heart health, talking to your doctor should be your first step. Eating the foods below may help support your heart, but just eating these foods and neglecting other lifestyle factors that can contribute to heart problems will not guarantee a healthy heart.

1. SALMON

Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce your risk of heart disease according to the Australian Heart Foundation. Omega-3 may also help reduce inflammation of blood vessels and reduce blood clotting.

2. CHIA SEEDS

Chia Seeds are – like salmon – rich in omega-3. In fact, on a pund-for-pound basis, chia seeds contain more omega-3 than salmon. Furthermore, chia seeds are rich in fibre. Diets high in fibre can reduce the risk of heart disease.

3. TOFU AND/OR SOY MILK

Both of these food sources contain niacin, folate, calcium magnesium and potassium. These nutrients are crtitical to help support the heart.

4. ACAI

Acai is packed with antioxidants. Antioxidants are important for helping prevent potential cellular damage caused by free radicals – unstable molecules that are present in our body and attack cells in an effort to stabilise themselves. This damage can cause inflammation, and antioxidants can thus protect our body from the inflammation. Inflammation can be an aggravating factor in heart disease. Preliminary studies also suggest acai may be helpful for reducing blood sugar levels and cholesterol levels.

5. CACAO

You may have heard of studies that suggest a potential link between daily (dark) chocolate consumption and heart health. This link is likely because dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa) is rich in polyphenols: substances that can help reduce clotting, blood pressure and inflammation. What you may not know is that dark chocolate, and the cocoa used to make it, are actually the nutritionally inferior by-products of raw cacao. Raw cacao is rich in a number of nutrients that are critical for supporting heart health. It is the base ingredient used to make cocoa / dark chocolate (cacao is processed and cooked to turn it into cocoa, whihc is then processed further to create dark chocolate. This processing and cooking destroys much of the original nutritional content, so choosing cacao over cocoa is a good idea).

WHY YOU NEED FIBRE IN YOUR DIET

Increasing your fibre intake may – at first – seem like a bit of a contradiction. On the one hand, fibre not typically absorbed very well by the body. Why eat more of something that your body can’t absorb? On the other hand, if your diet lacks fibre, you will definitely know about it. Let’s take a closer look at why you need fibre.

WHY YOU NEED FIBRE

The benefits of fibre can best be studied by looking at what diets lacking in fibre can cause versus the benefits that diets rich in fibre offer. Diets low in fibre can lead to a number of health conditions, ranging from constipation and weight gain to fatigue and blood sugar fluctuations. Diets high in fibre generally lead to much better overall health, weight management, more regular bowel movements, better digestion and a reduced risk of a range of serious diseases.

THE 2 TYPES OF FIBRE

There are two types of dietary fibre that are both subtly different, yet both are important for overall health.

1. SOLUBLE FIBRE

Soluble fibre can be digested by your body, but usually very slowly compared to other carbohydrates. As a result, when you eat a diet rich in soluble fibre, the soluble fibre is digested slowly and can lead to more sustained energy and constant blood sugar levels after eating. High fibre diets can also help with weight loss, as the slow digestion of soluble fibre leads to longer feeling of fullness that may prevent snacking and a more prolonged energy release.

WHY YOU NEED SOLUBLE FIBRE

Soluble fibre may help with:

cholesterol management
controlling blood sugar levels
inflammatory bowel conditions
GOOD SOURCES OF SOLUBLE FIBRE

Oats
nuts
seeds
peas
Vegetables
2. INSOLUBLE FIBRE

We have established that soluble fibre can be digested, albeit slowly. Insoluble fibre, on the other hand, remains largely undigested as it passes through your digestive tract. Just because it is not digested does not mean it doesn’t play a critical role in digestion and overall health. During digestion, insoluble fibre passes through to the intestine, bringing water with it. This increases bulk and hydration of waste products. In short, this helps you go to the bathroom more regularly and the additional water in your waste helps you avoid constipation. Insoluble fibre can also help promote a feeling of fullness for those looking to lose weight / reduce snacking.

WHY YOU NEED INSOLUBLE FIBRE

Insoluble Fibre may help with:

maintaining regular bowel movement
weight management
GOOD SOURCES OF INSOLUBLE FIBRE

leafy green vegetables
root vegetables
carrots
raisins
SUPERFOODS FOR FIBRE

Super Chia Seeds not only contains double the amount of fibre than oats, they also contain both soluble and insoluble fibre, so are a great way to top up your dietary fibre levels. Try them if you are actively looking for an easy way to increase your fibre intake.

FINAL TIPS FOR INCREASING FIBRE

Adults need to get 25 to 30g of fibre each day. Most Australians do not get this much fibre. If you are struggling to get enough fibre in your diet, a fibre supplement like our Adult Fibre VitaGummies may offer some benefit.
Sudden increases in dietary fibre may cause abdominal pain or flatulence. If you currently have a low fibre diet and are trying to increase your fibre levels, do so gradually over the course of several weeks.
Finally, increasing your fibre intake may require an increase in the amount of water you need to drink in a day. Since you pass more water as waste in a high fibre diet, increasing fibre intake may bring increased risk of dehydration. Dry mouth, increased thirst, headache or dark coloured urine are all signs you may be dehydrated and need to drink more water.

Nature’s Way Adult Vita Gummies Calcium + Vitamin D is a high strength combination formula designed to provide a convenient solution to help meet daily calcium and Vitamin D requirements. Just 3 gummies will provide 60% of the recommended dietary intake (RDI) of calcium for adults* and 1000IU of Vitamin D. Calcium cannot be produced by the body but is an essential nutrient required throughout life to optimise bone density and strength, reducing the risk of osteoporosis later in life. Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption. Whilst calcium requirements can increase, particularly during adolescence or post-menopause, dietary calcium deficiencies can affect anyone. If dietary intake is insufficient, supplementation is recommended.
