Consistent consumption of clean water is essential for the proper maintenance and generation of cells, tissues and organs within our bodies. It helps us in regulating body temperature, moistens the tissues in the eyes, nose and mouth, as well as transporting critical nutrients and oxygen to our cells (adult human bodies consist of 60% water). But there have been growing trends surrounding something known as ‘alkaline water’ and the potential health benefits.

For truly healthy skin, you should also consider the quality of the water you are drinking on a regular basis. If your water source is contaminated with the likes of microplastics and heavy metals, or contains a range of chemicals that can potentially lead to chronic issues, such as chlorine, then there is a risk of adverse impacts to your skin as a result.

One of the leading neurologists, Dr David Perlmutter stated in 2015 “ our digestive system is intimately connected to what goes on in the brain”. He is, of course, referring to our gut microbiome and there has since been an enormous body of research confirming and indeed furthering this statement.  We now know, what goes in our mouths will affect our brain function and our moods.  So, how  can we best support this essential mind body connection? 

It is no secret that water is essential to human health, and consuming an adequate amount each day is imperative to maintain proper bodily functions. With this in mind, the quality of the water we drink can also hold a significant impact on our overall health and well-being.

As the colder months approach and the temperature drops,  sending chills across the country, as anticipated on an annual basis, a selection of illnesses can come with it. Although we might not be buried under layers of snow, countless households will be looking for effective strategies that will keep the entire household warm and well throughout the winter months. 

It is very seductive to consider the next eating plan that promises a loss of kilos, youthful appearance and easy to manage recipes will fix all our problems.  Sadly many of our problems are rooted in our convenience lifestyle where we are short on time and money. A holistic approach to our health care and lifestyle is required to help us understand that the short cuts we have been engineering the last few years have led to our drop in energy levels, our flagging libidos and our mounting belly fat.
