By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY from our Nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: “It is a shameful thing, ” wrote Socares, one of the wisest of the ancient Greeks, “to grow old in neglect without having realised to the utmost such strength and beauty as your body is capable of.

Gluten intolerance can cause considerable discomfort and people should use lifestyle changes to try and manage its symptoms.

SKIN IMPERFECTIONS

By: | Tags:

Skin is an organ reacting to a number of stimuli. In fact, skin is attacked by weather conditions (cold, wind, sun, etc.), pollution, bacteria, fungus and insects.
