With the increase in metabolic related diseases over the last decade, it might be a good time to look back in history and see our grandparents’ eating habits, since for many of them reaching 90 years of age was a “walk in the park”. Does eating less frequently mean that we might actually be healthier for longer, and perhaps even extend our lifespan?

Sometimes the most effective path to health lies with the simplest approaches and non-invasive procedures. This is why hypnotherapy is becoming more popular and more studies are now looking into different areas of application. For now, hypnotherapy has shown impressive results for some of the most common health issues that many of us are facing daily.

With new and emerging research, the importance of a massage or any kind of physical stimulus to the body that manipulates our muscles tells us that massage therapy can assist with preventing certain health issues and complications. So why not use the full benefits of a massage on a daily basis as prevention? And the best part is, we can even do it ourselves (to some extent).

Nuts have been a staple in our diet since ancient times. They are a great source of fibre, protein and, of course, healthy fats. Such nutrient-dense food then must have health benefits, but can they also provide protection against diseases, tumours and cancers?

General movement and exercise reduce the risk of mortality by nearly 30%. This means that our muscles, joints and connective tissue might get banged up every once in a while, but with many of us, that rarely happens. It’s actually the opposite because of our modern, sedentary lifestyle, where our range of motion and flexibility decreases. This is where osteopathy can assist and also potentially decrease the risk of long-term health issues.
