we encounter each day. There are, however other factors that cause stress which we do not necessarily recognise. Over time these factors can have the same effect as mental stress by stimulating the release of stress hormones. The brain is the first part to respond to stress; it does it in two ways. Firstly by stimulating a release of the stress hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline resulting in an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and blood flow to the muscles and brain. During chronic stress this allows bacteria, viruses or tumours to flourish and makes blood more prone to clotting. The second response is the release of cortisol and other steroids, which in excess promote the accumulation of abdominal fat, suppress immunity, shrink brain cells and impair memory. Stress has also been attributed to increaseddepression, phobias and chemical dependency, as well as heart disease, cancer, migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcers, insomnia, gastric reflux, sexual dysfunction and infertility.

Unless you have walked in the shoes of a sufferer of a skin condition it may be difficult to understand the negative impact it can have on their quality of life. Modern society's increasing focus and fascination on appearance increases the frustration that many people feel day to day, and often leads to suppressive treatment choices as the urgency to look the 'norm' wins. Both Anne-Marie and Christina will be attending a Dermatological Conditions Seminar in the coming month which will focus on common skin conditions such as acne vulgaris, herpes infection, eczema, fungal infections, psoriasis, ageing skin, and acne rosacea. A number of hot topics will be discussed as we uncover the latest advancements in skin health by looking at elimination, infection, diet, and inflammation as key contributors to common dermatological conditions.

Simply having four capsules of fish oil a day can double the effects of statin (cholesterol lowering) therapy, according to a Korean study. Researchers gave 62 patients 2g of omega-3 simvastatin, or the simvastatin treatment alone. All of the subjects were put on a low cholesterol diet. After six weeks, the omega-3+statin combination was able to lower triglyceride (TG) levels by 41%, whereas the statins alone reduced these levels by only 13.9%. The combination therapy also produced significant reductions in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (the bad cholesterol).
A Multi A Day Keeps Heart Attacks Away
Delivering a forceful kick to the shins of multivitamin sceptics, Swedish scientists have produced evidence that multivitamins protect against heart attacks in women. The scientists studied over 30 000 women aged 49-83 years for the effect of multivitamins and other supplements on heart attack risk. At the beginning of the study, the women were surveyed about their diet, lifestyle and use of multivitamins and other supplements. Approximately a decade later, the collected data was compared against the number of heart attacks that occurred during the study period. It was, found that, in women with no history of cardiovascular disease (CVD), multivitamins reduced heart attack risk by 27%. The use of other supplements had little effect on heart attack risk, nor did they provide further risk reduction to the multivitamin users.
The results were better still for long-term users of multivitamins. The women who used multivitamins for at least five years had their heart attack risk Burger with the Works and Extra Wheeze
