A Covid-19 Christmas will be different to a ‘normal’ one in many ways. However, we suspect the usual stresses this time of year can bring will still be there. Our gift to you is some health tips and vitamin patch suggestions that will keep you feeling well and at your best

In the UK we’re behind the curve of the US and Europe in taking responsibility for our own health, but when it comes to looking after yourself, you have to be your own advocate. As you enter your 40’s it’s well worth asking your GP for a general health check

If you find you’re suffering from things like fatigue, mouth ulcers and cold sores, that’s probably what’s going on.
