TIP OF THE DAY from our Nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: Yes, but mind this… As it happens with any food, preparation and conditioning are critical: So you know, forget popcorn sachets from the supermarket (and from cinemas as well, by the way) for they contain synthetical fats and sugar that nullify any benefits from popcorn itself. The healthiest popcorn is made the old fashion way in the oven, using for instance coconut oil for preparing it. When they are done, powder some cinnamon over to complete your delicious and healthy […]

By: | Tags:

There are proverbs, adages, maxims and aphorisms that are nothing but catchwords, and this is one of those, unless we’re talking about a simple dalliance, a flirt, an adventure or a caprice. But when it gets to passion that does not fade, the romance may well last a lifetime, as long as we know how to take care of ourselves, next to our daily company, to always be a more loving person, prettier, healthier and happier. And with this in mind, we will be able to transmit to our children […]

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY from our Nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: Healthy eating lowers your risk of diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease, but it’s not yet clear if that’s true for Alzheimer’s disease as well. “I can’t write a prescription for broccoli and say this will help—yet,” says Sam Gandy MD, PhD, the associate director of the Mount Sinai Medical Center Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, in New York City.

SENIOR MOMENTS AND MEMORY

By: | Tags:

Senior Moments are memory lapses from which, as we get older, we do seem to suffer more often. Memory failures normally occur when a person is worried and they increase as years go by, becoming an evident sign of ageing. But there are also abnormal causes that affect the intelectual capacities, and then we must talk about cognitive impairment, which causes may have distinct pathological sources. The Orthomolecular Dietetics as part of the Anti-Ageing Programme has natural ingredients that permit to free specific neurotransmitters from the brain, among which the […]
