Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 plays a role in many of our daily functions, including maintaining normalised blood sugar levels, the metabolism of carbohydrates and protein, nervous system function and immunity.  It also helps in the prevention of anaemia.  Vitamin B6 helps to maintain a healthy heart as it prevents the build up of homocysteine in the blood.  Homocysteine build up can clog your arteries leading to cardiovascular disease.                                   

Heavy alcohol consumption, certain medications and poor diets might reduce the amount Vitamin B6 in the body.  

Good sources of B6 are found in beans, eggs, bananas, poultry, meats and fish, green leafy vegetables, asparagus, avocado, Marmite, figs, raisins and watermelon.

Tuesday’s boot camp

Plan A for Tuesday’s boot camp is to meet at Saumarez Park at 7.15 pm.

Plan B comes into play if the weather is rubbish, in which case I will text participants and we will meet at Vale Douzaine at 7.45 pm.
