Constipation is a common digestive issue that many people struggle with but rarely address in the right way. For years, people have been told that eating more fibre is the solution.

Many people rely on supplements to maintain their vitamin D levels, trusting that all forms work in the same way. Yet, recent research suggests this might not be the case.

Evidence now shows that D3, the form naturally produced through sunlight exposure, may...

Researchers have observed that EGCG and other antioxidants support enzymes involved in fat oxidation and energy conversion, thereby helping to maintain balanced metabolic function. The same study also found that green tea may protect muscle health while promoting fat utilisation, suggesting that its effects are broader than simple calorie burning. These effects develop gradually and are best supported by a balanced lifestyle that includes healthy eating and regular activity. By working with the body’s natural processes, green tea helps maintain steady energy and antioxidant protection. This link between cell health and energy balance is one reason green tea remains widely studied...
