It has been suggested that the secret behind vitamin E’s ability to protect against physical decline lies in the fact that it is a potent antioxidant that works to protect the body’s tissue from damage caused by rampaging free radicals.

In the latest Italian study, which was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers measured levels of vitamins in the blood of 698 people. Performance of the volunteers was monitored over a three-year period and was based upon three physical tests – a short walk, balance and standing up from a seated position. Researchers found that there became a clear association between vitamin E and performance, reporting that “the odds of declining in physical function was 1.62 times greater in persons with low levels of vitamin E, when compared with individuals with higher levels” as said by the leading researcher Dr Benedetta Bartali.

Dr Bartali confirmed that the results of the study suggested that “an appropriate dietary intake of vitamin E may help to reduce the decline in physical function among older persons.” Researchers also highlighted that as well as its antioxidant effect, vitamin E is involved in the production of red blood cells.

This research also highlighted that many older people do not have an adequate intake of vitamins and minerals and therefore, in order for them to get essential nutrients, a daily supplement is largely the most effective means. A healthy and nutritious diet is essential for wellbeing and a healthy life expectancy, particularly in older people.

Tim Draycott, a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists supports the findings in saying that “premature births are a tremendous burden on the babies, their families and society… Anything that is potentially beneficial and particularly something as safe as folic acid… we would welcome as an intervention.”

In addition, reducing the number of premature births would also ease the burden on the NHS, with current annual costs of caring for premature babies at £420 million ion the UK alone. The Food Standards Agency supports the positive research on taking Folic Acid as a food supplement, suggesting that not only should women planning to have a family take dietary supplements of folic acid, there is also potential for more foods to be fortified with folic acid.

Many of the health benefits of soybeans are found in the isoflavones, which have been found in several studies to be effective in the treatment and prevention of many health conditions including breast cancer, heart disease, due to their ability to reduce cholesterol, and particularly menopausal symptoms and osteoporosis. Soy isoflavones are one of a group of plant chemicals, best known as phytoestrogens and have impressive abilities which can help to balance estrogen in the body.

Their effectiveness in treating conditions of excess estrogen, such as premestrual syndrome, is derived from the isoflavones’ ability to block receptor sites, whilst in conditions of estrogen deficiency, such as osteoporosis and menopausal symptoms, soy isoflavones can increase estrogen activity by acting as a weak estrogen.

Nonetheless, a new study published by the British Journal of Nutrition suggests the efficacy of soy isoflavones in the treatment and prevention of BPH, a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. Whilst unpleasant, BPH is a common ailment affecting the prostate of many ageing men which can exhibit various symptoms including trouble starting or maintaining urination, the need to urinate more often, urine leaks or the need to go during the night. Whilst it is thought to be testosterone that is responsible for the changes that cause to prostate to enlarge and put pressure on the urethra, the new study has found that estrogen also plays a key role.

The study into the effects of soy isoflavones on the symptoms of BPH was carried out on men aged 65 and over and found that those with an intake of at least 5 mg of isoflavones, had fewer urinary tract symptoms than those who did not. The researchers suggested that although 5mg is relatively low, it did have a positive effect and emphasises the fact that although low levels of soy isoflavones may be acquired from the diet, a daily natural supplement can significantly help to ensure optimum levels of the beneficial isoflavones to achieve the advantages of reduced BPH symptoms, helping to slow and even prevent prostate cancer growth.

Aches and pains are a common ailment and often the reduction in mobility associated with such joint stiffness is topically treated with conventional pain killers. However, whilst over-the-counter pain relievers provide short-term relief, they do not contain any properties which may help to reduce and prevent pain through the repair and maintenance of tendons, muscles and cartilage which are often the root of the problem.

Glucosamine is one of the most widely used natural supplements due to its impressively positive results in preventing and treating joint pain, swelling and immobility. As well as repairing worn cartilage, Glucosamine is renowned for its producing capabilities and for this reason provides outstanding support in rebuilding worn muscles, tendons and cartilage whilst promoting healthy joint function.

Nonetheless, whilst Rosehip has been traditionally known for its high content of Vitamin C and therefore its effectiveness in preventing and treating colds and asthma, recent research has revealed positive results for the anti-inflammatory properties within Rosehip extracts.

The Danish study has suggested that a natural rosehip supplement can noticeably alleviate the joint pains that are typical of Arthritis. The anti-inflammatory properties of rosehip found male and female arthritic hip, knee and hand patients experiencing an 82% reduction in pain after just 3 weeks of taking a rosehip supplement. The study also concluded that individuals who suffer from arthritis need less than half as many traditional painkillers, such as ibuprofen, when taking a natural rosehip supplement.

The results of this new study emphasise the effectiveness of natural dietary supplements and the key role that they can potentially play in the prevention and treatment of aches and pains, which are all too often exacerbated by the colder weather that we experience during the winter months.

So, if you suffer from the constant discomfort of aching joints and the pain caused by muscle tension then perhaps you should try a dietary supplement to naturally alleviate the pain and help to maintain healthy muscles and joints. Super strength Rosehip 2000mg (Buy One Get One Free, 120 tablets for the price of 60, £9.99) and Glucosamine Sulphate 1000mg (Buy One Get One Free, 120 tablets for the price of 60, £3.99) are both available from www.simplysupplements.co.uk to help repair damaged tissues and ease the pain.

Cod Liver Oil has long been recommended as part of a healthy diet and has been renowned for many years for its ability to help maintain a healthy cardiovascular system and supple joints. Now research has found that a daily supplement of Cod Liver Oil can help to put a smile on our faces with its impressive properties that can help to fight and prevent depression.


What is Cod Liver Oil?

Cod Liver Oil is a beneficial fish oil which contains large amounts of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) omega 3 fatty acids. EPA and DHA can be found naturally in fish such as mackerel, salmon and tuna. These particular omega 3 fatty acids are significantly different to those found in flaxseed and vegetable oils, as they keep the blood healthy whilst helping to prevent it from clotting too quickly. It is these properties that promote a healthy cardiovascular system, good circulation and optimum joint mobility.

Although EPA and DHA essential fatty acids have more commonly been renowned for their significant role in the maintenance of a healthy heart, recent research has sparked new and extensive media attention surrounding the well-known supplement due to its potential anti-depressant properties.


What does Research say?

The new results of the recent research have revealed that the levels of omega-3 fatty acids are significantly lower in people who suffer from depression in comparison to those who are not depressed. These findings suggest that eating oily fish and taking a daily supplement of fish oil can result in considerably positive effects in helping to relieve depression.

The latest claims uncovered the impressive anti-depressive properties of Cod Liver Oil, with a daily supplement of the fish oil potentially reducing the risk of depression by as much as 30%. Alongside the many other general health benefits of taking a daily supplement of Cod Liver Oil, it may not come as a surprise that healthier people are also less depressed. Nonetheless, the new research emphasizes the potential of natural dietary supplements in the prevention and treatment of everyday problems, including depression.

High quality, high strength Cod Liver Oil 1000mg is available in a convenient 1-a-day capsule from Simply Supplements (www.simplysupplements.co.uk) (Buy One Get One Free, £9.95).
