Following on from my last post about Vitamin D, I decided I’d put together a little information for you all on calcium, another nutrient essential for bone health. In my experience as a Dietitian, calcium is an underrated and often excluded nutrient by many people, especially women. But don’t worry if you do not, or cannot eat dairy.

But we now know that the effects of low vitamin D don’t end with broken bones ...
Breakfast of champions: Porridge
Yesterday morning there was a distinct chill in the air as I rolled out of bed. Having been blessed with the worst circulation known to man, I am not someone to seek out cold weather destinations.
