Nutrition & Recipes

Healthy ageing rests on omega-3s, antioxidants and polyphenols such as curcumin, plus sleep, movement and stress regulation. What the evidence supports.

Surgery raises demand for zinc, vitamin A, iron, B vitamins and amino acids used in collagen and immune repair. How to prepare, and what supports recovery.

Taking more supplements can backfire. High-dose zinc may deplete copper, and folic acid can crowd out methylfolate. How to simplify a stack that got too big.

Nutrition shapes mental health through neurotransmitter synthesis, inflammation, blood sugar and the gut-brain axis. Which nutrients the research backs most.

Functional iron deficiency means normal ferritin but low usable iron. How inflammation and hepcidin lock iron away, and which markers show the real picture.

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) drives mitochondrial energy, methylation and thyroid activation. Signs of low riboflavin, and why fatigue and migraines are clues.

Visceral fat raises mortality risk mainly through inflammation, releasing IL-6 and TNF-alpha straight to the liver. How it is measured, and what reduces it.
