It’s been a busy week as the builders have moved off site and my fitness equipment has arrived.  My clients survived the first few sessions in my fitness studio.  I am delighted with the studio, both in terms of appearance and the quality of equipment.  

I am also looking forward to using the equipment myself and poor ole Mike will be directed to the fitness studio to fight the flab.

Thanks to everyone involved in doing such a great job, in particular Phil and his mob, Dave B, Andy, Dave H and Paul L.

Quercetin is found in plant pigments called flavonoids that give many fruits and vegetables their colour.  It can also be purchased as a dietary supplement. 

Quercetin is a natural anti-histamine.  Along with other allergies, it has been known to relieve asthma symptoms.  It is also a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.  Research suggests that quercetin might help to prevent cancer, in particular prostate cancer.  

Quercetin reduces the risk of atherosclerosis - this is build up of plaque in arteries that can lead to a heart attack or stroke. 

Quercetin can be found in fruit and vegetables, in particular apples, citrus fruits, red onions, parsley.  Other sources include olive oil, dark cherries, grapes, blackberries and blueberries. 

Check with your doctor before taking any dietary supplements.
