7 step action plan for a healthier Life: Step 1a – Salt
In step 1 of our 7 Step Action Plan for a Healthier Life we looked at hydration in some detail. As an extra addition to this step our health detectives look at the essential role of salt, that goes together with water as one of the absolutely basics in health.

As part of wider studies, The Bodyworks Clinic are participating in a Feasibility Study to assess whether a daily “Osatun” food supplement in the form of a capsule has a beneficial effect on people diagnosed with osteoporosis.
