*English only Food is a fundamental part of our lives, but what actually happens after you take a bite of your food? The Christmas holidays are a time when we enjoy eating our favourite dishes, but what actually happens in our bodies when we consume food? Have you heard of digestive enzymes? This protein found in cells causes a chemical reaction that helps to digest food so nutrients can be absorbed by the body (1). As you enjoy your delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner, your body is working hard to gain as much energy as possible from your food.

GERD Awareness Week
*English only Globally, 5–7% of people suffer from Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. [1] GERD, or Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, happens when stomach acid flows back into your oesophagus, the tube that carries food and liquid from your throat to your stomach. It's common for people to suffer from acid reflux now and then. [2] However, if you experience acid reflux or heartburn more than twice a week for several weeks, take heartburn medication and antacids constantly, if your symptoms keep returning you might have GERD.[3] With lifestyle changes and medication, most people can manage GERD discomfort. [2] Despite the disease being common, it often remains unrecognised, due to its misunderstood set of symptoms. It's unfortunate, as GERD is generally treatable, though it can cause severe complications if not treated properly. [1] This blog aims to help you better understand GERD, how to recognise it, and how to manage it.
This is how you get through the winter!
*English only Did you know that adults typically experience 2 to 3 colds per year, with this number being higher in kids?

The importance of sleep
*English only Healthy eating and exercising are the two things most people associate with a healthy lifestyle. But a fundamental part of your overall health is sleep.

(13) We know that the world is becoming a fast-paced happening where you are trying to combine your work, and social life, while at the same time trying to stay healthy. And let's be honest, your mobile phone is another obstacle that could prevent you from prioritising your sleep. Thinking about a healthy dish to make or when to play sports usually are things we are busy with, but we often don't include sleep in our list. You need to have the right base to build a good and healthy foundation. So, how important is sleep actually for your health? And how can it affect your health if you don't get enough of it?
Psoriasis: symptoms, causes & possible solutions
Psoriasis is catalogued as a chronic inflammatory skin disease. [1] It is characterised by raised, scaly patches of skin caused by a rapid increase in skin cell production. But psoriasis is more than a skin disease as it affects your whole body. Diabetes, heart disease, and having a despondent feeling are all associated with it. [2] Nutritional supplementation is gaining more and more traction in both popular and scientific literature to support managing psoriasis. As a result, patients often conduct independent research and consult their dermatologists regarding modifications they can make to their diet for possible better control of their condition. [3] In light of World Psoriasis Day, we aim to raise awareness on this disease, answer your questions, and share some nutritional insights that may offer some help to you or a loved one.
Everything you need to know about Vitamin D
*English only During spring and summer, the majority of people can synthesise all the required vitamin D from sunlight in the right conditions, but, as the days shorten, so does the amount of vitamin D we produce.

Care about your mind
*English only As human beings, we can face several challenges in life that could affect our emotional and psychological well-being. Mental illness is often difficult to discuss, but it shouldn't be! How you feel mentally can be influenced by events in your life or even genetics. Also, socioeconomic, biological and environmental factors can impact how you feel (1). During the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, anxiety and depressive disorders increased by 25% (2). We can't deny that the past couple of years have been difficult, and it has affected us. But even before the pandemic, one in eight people were dealing with a mental disorder (2). Sometimes in life, you'll go through hard times that make you feel less happy, and you'll try to deal with it day-to-day, but it takes a big toll on you. Just know that hard times don't last.
Breast cancer awareness month.
*English only October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the world. Both men and women can develop breast cancer, but women are more likely to develop it. Research funding and breast cancer awareness have played a significant role in advancing the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. It is mainly due to factors such as early detection, a more personalised approach to treatment, and a better understanding of the disease that breast cancer survival rates have increased. The number of deaths associated with this disease has steadily declined. [1] Educating others about the symptoms and treatment of breast cancer, which affects everyone differently, will hopefully reduce the stigma associated with breast cancer. Knowing more about breast cancer can hopefully lead to earlier detection, which can help increase long-term survival rates. As you read this blog, we hope you will gain new knowledge, be empowered and feel supported.
