With the start of a new year and a new month we often get sucked into the January fad diets, trends, detox diets and the new membership at the gym to try and lose those Christmas pounds but that can often lead to depriving our body of essential calories and nutrients and if we end up eating what we have set out to avoid, can lead to feelings of failure often resulting in overeating.

 Bloating is a sign of intestinal dysfunction, especially if it is accompanied by severe discomfort or pain.
The obvious cause is eating much larger meals during the holidays. Eating so many food groups at once places a lot of pressure on the digestive system. Snacking between those meals can only make the situation even worse. A bit of sugar here and there, and a touch of alcohol, and a war is raging inside your gut.
 Christmas is right around the corner and although this is a happy time for many, this can also be a time for much anxiety and stress, whether that’s financial, family or work related.
One thing is for sure is that there is much we can do to help reduce stress and allow for a merrier Christmas. Did you know that what we eat has a significant impact on how we feel?
Psoriasis is one of those conditions that if you suffer from it, it is something that you're told you have to live with. But that’s not necessarily the case.
Psoriasis like many skin conditions is multi factorial meaning that there’s no one known cause which often makes it harder to treat. This does mean that more often than not, then steroids, lotions and creams are prescribed to treat the symptoms of psoriasis.

Changes in stool frequency and consistency can have a lockdown effect on our overall health, driven by and driving and perpetuating digestive disorders in a self-feeding cycle, where poor digestive capabilities increase stress and inflammation, and inflammation and stress suppress digestive processes. If you are taking drugs that suppress stomach acid production (e.g., omeprazole and PPIs), it is very likely that your digestion is not optimal and the cause of bloating, flatulence and constipation. It may be important to address the causes of heartburn and GERD to re-establish normal stomach function and reduce the sensation of burning due to low-stomach acid (NOT excessive stomach acid production).
 A quick insight into the digestive system
Digestion involves the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food into smaller components that can be more easily absorbed and assimilated by the body. A host of digestive organs work in harmony (including the digestive tract, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder) to ensure that we are able to extract the nutrients from food to power the demands of the body. Once food has been efficiently digested, it needs to be absorbed into systemic circulation.
 Gut function, introduction
The gut is an adaptive interface, an important part of the digestive system which separates the outside world from our internal world: a tube with two endings. The mouth at one end and the anus at the other. The inside of the tube may, in fact, be considered external to the body, because the influence of the outside environment can be felt inside this tube.
 Acne is a prevalent inflammatory skin condition which involves sebaceous sties. The main cause of acne is unknown but what we do know is that it is multi factorial and multiple factors interplay to cause the symptoms.
Acne is when tiny holes in the skin, known as hair follicles, become blocked. The Sebaceous glands on our skin are tiny glands found near the surface of your skin. In symptoms of acne, the glands produce too much sebum and this excess sebum mixes with dead skin cells and form a plug in the follicles and subsequent inflammation. So, what do we know about Acne and what can we do to reduce the symptoms?
