Your diet can be much more important even than your toothbrush

The name of this eye condition is Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Also known as AMD, the condition affects the center of the retina, which is responsible for that sharp, central vision needed for everyday tasks such as reading and driving while often making it difficult or impossible to recognize faces.

I was proof reading a consumer guide very recently and I was interested to read in the blurb for the advertizing page for SAPPI (the South African Pulp and Paper Industry) that they produced chemical cellulose to make low fat dairy products creamier.
I dug further and found that the cellulose used in many foods is processed powder or pulp from virgin wood but that it is not toxic so the FDS has approved it. In fact, the food industry and ...

While we may not take too much notice of what is going on in our stomach, and especially our gut, when something goes wrong then we really become aware of any discomfort. The acid in your stomach is so concentrated that if you were to place some on a piece of wood, it would eat right through it.
The stomach is protected from these harsh stomach acids with an inbuilt defence system
If problems, pain and discomfort arise, we might think ...

In our grandmother or even great-grandmother's day, a daily spoonful of cod liver oil was given out to all the children in the family. You might think this is old fashioned with no place in today's home but that is not so.

Women in particular need to balance hormones with magnesium – think of mood swings, cramps, headaches and other signs of premenstrual syndrome. A magnesium deficiency can lead to PMS. Often such symptoms can be eased by taking a magnesium supplement.

Other symptoms include constipation, ...
