Diagnosed with cancer in 2011 Hannah Bradley has undergone treatment to reduce her tumour.
This treatment has been very succesful and has lead to Hannah making lifestyle changes, including switching to a low carbohydrate diet with no sugar.
It turns out that strengthening bone to avoid fractures starts at a very young age.
Bones become more porous and brittle with age, because the cells responsible for building bone become less active and can no longer keep up with the cells that destroy and remove old bone cells. Physical activity can shift this balance toward maintaining a healthy amount of bone growth,
Physical activity, such as the exercise children get in school gym classes, is important for fighting obesity, but the latest research suggests it may help to keep bones strong as well
It seems there are many many skin problems that go away when we start eating low carb. As many of you who have pointed out allergies to grains and possibly a lot of the additives and preservatives that we find in non-low carb food could play a big part in the condition of our skin and how it reacts to the food we eat and the products we use.
As others have suggested a good natural based moisturizer will be a big help and making sure that you have proper levels of the vitamins that we all need on a daily basis will be a sound idea just for general health and well being.
If I were faced personally with the same situation that you are in and that these problems are only occurring on the hands then I would first look at the products I was using on my hands just to make sure that there was nothing there that was either too harsh for intense and frequent use and then change it to something much more gentle as have been suggested by previous posters.
As for that nagging question – are you getting enough oil? Well then good quality Krill oil is something that is well worth investing in.
Hope that helps,

This is a copy of a recent comment I did on a low carb forum post
It’s a shame the good doctor wasn’t a little bit more specific. It’s actually heavy metals such as mercury, lead and other more exotic types and also the lighter metals such as aluminum that are the real cause of the problem.
Iron as you may well know is something that the body uses in fact you can become quite ill if your body doesn’t have enough iron and as for red meat having more iron though we need it – that in itself is a very foggy statement as the amount of iron each person needs varies not just from person to person but from day to day too and there are many in the natural health industry who will tell you that the official daily recommended amount for iron is possibly anything up to 500 times too low particularly for some people.
Fish and dairy may indeed be a problem if you’re not getting them from certified organic sources. That is simply because certain fish such as red snapper have been found to contain high levels of heavy metals particularly mercury.
Dairy of course can also have a very similar problem but that is only if it is from commercially produced herds. One of the reasons they have very high or higher levels of mercury is the fact that they’re given so many antibiotics and growth hormones and one of the preservatives that are used in both those products is, well you might have guesses it – mercury!
But frankly the amount of mercury contained in even the meat of commercially produced beef is nowhere near as worrying as the amount of hormones and other drugs that are passed through to us as we eat the meat.
That’s one of the reasons why I firmly believe it’s far better to make sure that you choose your meat and your fish from certified organic sources. In fact from a point of view of general health and well being, it’s best to try and get as much food as possible from certified organic sources. That way you won’t have any problems at all about eating any diet and particularly low carb
Hope that helps,
