How Tomatoes May Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease & Stroke

October 21, 2020Bev Dunne

For a few years now there has increasingly been more information being released on the therapeutic benefits of Lycopene particularly when it comes to prevention of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Cancer has exceeded heart disease as the biggest killer in Australia, however heart disease is not far behind. In light of this, one would think we would all be aiming to take as many steps as possible to avoid both these diseases which is why I find the information now available on Lycopene so very interesting. We all know the Mediterranean diet is a healthy diet, particularly when it comes to heart health. One of the reasons is the high amount of Lycopene contained in a typical Mediterranean diet.

September 16, 2020Bev Dunne

We all know calcium is important for healthy bones, however whilst calcium is important for our bone health, problems may sometimes arise because calcium can sometimes be a difficult mineral to absorb. Without proper absorption of calcium, there is not only the concern that calcium is not absorbed into our bones, it may instead find its way into other parts of our body such as our arteries.
