    Body Composition, Protein Requirements and Nutritional Quality Across the Lifespan: A Clinical Perspective

    For many years, body weight has been used as a primary marker of health. However, weight alone is a limited metric. It does not distinguish between adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, bone mass or fluid balance. Increasingly, evidence suggests that body composition and metabolic health provide a more meaningful framework for clinical discussions than weight loss in isolation. As clinicians, it is important that public health messaging remains evidence based, proportionate and free from oversimplification. This includes recognising that nutritional needs

    Iron. Haem, Non Haem and Why It Matters for Women’s Health

    Iron is fundamental to human life. It forms the core of haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen around the body. It is also essential for energy production, cognitive performance and normal immune function. Iron deficiency remains the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide and disproportionately affects women. Menstrual blood loss, pregnancy and increased requirements during the reproductive years all contribute. Guidance from the NHS recognises iron deficiency anaemia as a common and clinically significant condition in the

    Vitamin D. Bone Strength, Immunity and Women’s Wellbeing

    Vitamin D is often described as a vitamin, yet in biological terms it behaves more like a hormone. It plays a central role in calcium absorption, bone metabolism, muscle function and immune regulation. In the United Kingdom, maintaining adequate levels is a recognised public health issue, particularly for women, older adults and people with darker skin. According to the NHS, vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency are common, especially during autumn and winter when ultraviolet B sunlight is too weak at
