NUTRITION FOR A HEALTHY LIFESPAN
News round-up... August 2012
Plant Sterols heart risk!
Following reports that plant sterols
and stanols could cause a risk to
cardiovascular health, Heart UK has
defended the use saying that the
research provides no compelling
evidence that highlight significant
risks.
“Plant sterol and stanol-enriched
foods are recommended by leading
authorities such as the European
Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the
European Atherosclerosis Society
(EAS) for the management of blood
cholesterol concentrations,” says
Heart UK Chief Executive, Jules Payne.
Multi-tasking vitamins
A healthy, balanced diet is just one
of the things to remember during
pregnancy, but recent research has
added one more essential ingredient
to your shopping list.
A study of 36,000 Danish women
published by the American Journal of PregnaPure
Clinical Nutrition showed that those 30 tablets &
who took a multivitamin in the four 30 capsules
weeks before and eight weeks after £9.95
their last period had a 16% lower
chance of delivering a premature baby.
Moderately does it
A study of 4,000 people in the UK by the University College
London and funded by the British Heart Foundation has
found that if individuals increase moderate exercise when
they retire, this can make a big improvement to their heart
health.
In a statement, the BHF said: “This is great news for retirees
who often indulge in gardening, countryside walks and gentle
sports once they are no longer chained to their desks. In the
study a remarkable 83% of people around retirement age
managed the recommended 2.5 hours a week of moderate
physical activity.”

Shed some pounds with calcium, it’s
been found to prevent dietary fat
being absorbed into your body.
Aim for 1,000mg a day and
remember that non-dairy foods that
contain calcium include tinned fish,
almonds, kale, peas and beans.

now done. Having taken them for so long my main concern now is

having a direct impact on skin’s health and appearance as it is oestrogen
which stimulates the production of collagen. Many women choose to go on
HRT to help combat a variety of menopausal symptoms but most doctors
wouldn’t advise taking HRT purely for skin benefits. That’s why there are an
