Holiday meals are all about carbs, sugar, and, let’s face it, indulgence. And we’re all here for it. The holiday season is notorious for unwanted weight gain.

Extra calories and less activity can mean a higher risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and other illnesses. Scientific studies are showing that intermittent fasting may help reverse these trends.

As the longer nights draw in and sunlight becomes less, our bodies quickly use up any stores of vitamin D, leaving the only way to replenish the body’s needs through supplementation. Little has been said about vitamin D in the last months of COVID19, which personally I find strange. Why might this be so?

Fermented foods receive a lot of attention for one reason or another. Is this justified?

Fermented foods are an ancient technique of preserving food, including cheese, sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir and kombucha. These foods are rich in probiotics which help to keep your digestion healthy by populating the gut with beneficial gut bacteria. With the link between the gut and the brain, fermented foods also have an impact on brain health as well as the immune system.

It is interesting to hear the more recent news bulletins, which in honesty I seldom do because it either lacks interest or is repetition of the same. However, what caught my attention is the fear that has been generated as part of the fallout from the COVID19 lockdown, which our leaders are trying to address to get the economy up and running by encouraging the general populous to return to work. We see the fear manifested in different ways, such as parents not wanting children to go back to school, individuals fearful to leave their house and avoidance of using public transport, all with the same underlying cause; the fear of catching COVID19.
