» Winter Vitamin D - Report courtesy of the BBC
Everyone should consider taking vitamin D supplements in autumn and winter, public health advice for the UK recommends.
A government-commissioned report sets the recommended levels at 10 micrograms of the vitamin a day. However, officials are concerned this may not be achievable through diet alone, particularly when sunlight, which helps in vitamin D production, is scarce.
Limited amounts of the vitamin are found in foods such as oily fish, eggs and fortified cereals.
Low vitamin D levels can lead to brittle bones and rickets in children.

» Inulin
Also mentioned on the BBC programme 'How to Stay Young,' Inulin has become quite popular.
Inulin is a carbohydrate belonging to a class of compounds known as fructans and is closely related to fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS). Because Inulin isn't digested in the upper gastrointestinal tract, it reaches the large intestine intact where it is fermented by your native bacteria, feeding and promoting their growth, improving bowel function and, by extension, host health.
