health checkA farming friend of mine has had to diversify to make ends meet and has built a series of jumps around his farm. He makes a reasonable income from people who pay to ride their horses over his fences and the secret to his success, he tells me, is that he never builds anything he can’t wee over! (As an afterthought, he adds that the fences have got significantly smaller in recent years.) He is, of course, typical of many older gentlemen who notice the stream of urine isn’t as strong as it used to be, which, along with a hesitancy to get started, a tendency to dribble on a bit at the end and the need to get up at night to

wee, are all signs of Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH). BPH is extremely common – almost three quarters of men over 60 have some enlargement of the prostate and half of them have symptoms. Many suffer in silence, because they attribute the symptoms to a normal part of ageing or because they fear the possibility of surgery to treat the problem. In fact there are several medicines that effectively treat benign prostatic hypertrophy and evidence to support the use of the herbal remedy, saw palmetto, in relieving the symptoms. You may not use the size of your fences to judge your urine flow, but if you have urinary

symptoms, see your doctor who will be able to confirm the diagnosis and advise you on treatment.

Maintaining healthy jointsMany people think that joint pain is an inevitable consequence of ageing,

but with the correct nutrition, you can help to ease pain and stiffness

and even help to reduce joint deterioration in the fi rst place. there are a

number of nutritional supplements that can help to maintain strong joints

and bones, as well as ease joint pain and stiffness, but by far the most

popular is glucosamine.

What is glucosamine?glucosamine exists naturally in all our joints and muscles and plays

a key role in the mobility and smooth working of cartilage, tendons

and ligaments. a major building block of the complex proteins called

glycosaminoglycans, it forms a part of the structure of cartilage and

helps to maintain healthy joints.

What is ‘Marine’ chondroitin sulphate? found naturally in the cartilage ‘matrix’, chondroitin plays an important

role in maintaining the structural integrity of tissue. forming a sponge-

like substance in the joints, it provides the majority of resistance to

compression and impact.

Healthspan insists on using ‘Marine’ chondroitin sulphate in our

combination supplements rather than the cheaper bovine chondroitin,

as we believe that this is the safest form available.

Which one is right for you?Many doctors recommend that 1,500mg of glucosamine plus 1,200mg

of chondroitin per day is an optimum intake of both nutrients. However,

others believe that lower amounts may be suffi cient to help maintain

joint health for those who do not suffer from joint problems.

as chondroitin is a very expensive ingredient, many people forsake it

and buy glucosamine on its own. at Healthspan we believe in giving

our customers the widest possible choice, which is why we offer

10 different glucosamine products. n

saw palmetto is a small palm tree native to north america, its fruit contains a variety of essential fatty acids. derived from a premium liquid extract, each Healthspan saw palmetto capsule contains 320mg of standardised saw palmetto oil extract and 12mg of zinc at 80% of the recommended daily amount, together with 100mg evening primrose oil, providing gLa for hormonal balance.

skipping meals and poor nutrition.

The ‘trafficking’ of fruit and vegetables across the world means we can now eat whichever food we like, whenever we like. But fruit and vegetables out of season, shipped great distances, are less nutritious and possess fewer antioxidants than locally grown seasonal produce. Our tendency to stick to the same foods regardless of season, coupled with the fact that our average intake of fruit and vegetables is only half of what is recommended, means it’s often hard to achieve the ideal levels of vitamins, minerals and, most importantly, the antioxidants our bodies need.

Our choice of fruit and vegetables is also important, as some are more nutritious and possess significantly higher amounts of antioxidants than others.

ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) is a measurement of the antioxidant rating of different foods and has recently become the ‘source of wise counsel’ in nutrition. It suggests that we should all be aiming to obtain around 7,000 ORAC units per day.

To help augment even the best of diets, Healthspan has developed OptiFive, which

combines concentrated extracts of pure fruit and vegetables, ripened across the four seasons, to provide the best antioxidants in two complementary tablets. By supplementing your diet with a multi-antioxidant blend and eating with the seasons, you are more likely to improve the nutrient content of your diet.

Eating with the seasons

Healthspan’s OptiFive is a unique combination of seven natural fruit extracts and six pure vegetable extracts. Each extract is highly concentrated and standardised to ensure it contains the optimum level of active antioxidants, measured as ORAC units.

ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is an established measurement of

overall antioxidant capacity. Compounds with high ORAC values help to neutralise cell-damaging ‘free-radical’ molecules. Two daily tablets (one fruit, one vegetable) provide a daily antioxidant boost of 2,500 ORAC units.

Although we’d all like to have the time and inclination to practise ‘the good life’ and pick

from an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables in our back garden, many of us don’t

eat produce fresh from our local farmers or even grown in our own country.
