Common symptoms of asthma include chest tightness, shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing. If you suffer from any of these symptoms then there are nutrients that have shown promise in reducing the frequency and severity of asthma attacks. Continue reading →

Nutrition and mental health

Posted on May 3, 2013 by Simply Supplements Online Editorial Team

By Simply Supplements

Nutrition is closely linked to our cognition, behaviour and emotions. Therefore, what we eat can affect many aspects of our health. There is growing evidence to suggest that changes in the Western diet over the past 50 years are partly responsible for a rise in mental illness. Researchers suggest that we are now eating more saturated fats and less fresh produce. For example, we now consume two-thirds less fish than we did 50 years ago and are missing out on essential omega 3 fatty acids.

If you find yourself feeling anxious, depressed or fatigued, then you may not be supplying your body with the nutrients it requires. Simple dietary changes and nutritional supplements can ensure that your brain remains in peak condition. Continue reading →

How stress affects women

Posted on April 26, 2013 by Simply Supplements Online Editorial Team

By Simply Supplements

We may all have felt stressed when faced with a challenge. In small doses stress can be beneficial. It provides the body with a shot of adrenaline that helps it to become more alert. However, when stress persists over a prolonged period it can have many negative health effects.

Experts believe that men and women react to stress in different ways, both physically and mentally. They also tend to try and deal with stress differently.
