Notting Hill

Famous around the world thanks to its eponymous film, Notting Hill is full of small shops selling vintage clothing, antiques, original gifts, books and organic products. Don't miss the Portobello Road Market, open every day of the year, to enjoy more than a kilometer and a half of colorful stalls. Not far away, Westbourne Grove is full of more upscale boutiques such as Goop and Sézane.

Savile Row

Savile Row is known around the world for its very British bespoke suits. Henry Poole & Co, to whom we owe the invention of the tuxedo, still takes action at No. 15.

NIACIN - Fight for normal energetic metabolism

Vitamin B3 or niacin is essential to the body. 

Its interventions in numerous metabolic reactions make it a very important vitamin. Niacin has long demonstrated its effectiveness in treating high cholesterol and fighting skin disorders. However, both a deficiency and an excess of this vitamin can have serious consequences.

It may play a role in preventing neurological problems. It will also act as an antioxidant, meaning it can help protect the body's cells from damage caused by free radicals, potentially linked to aging and certain diseases.

Vitamin B3: benefits and roles in the body

  • Niacin is involved in lipid metabolism. This vitamin has a cholesterol-lowering effect, so much so that it is frequently used to lower blood lipid levels.
  • Vitamin B3 helps maintain the integrity of tissues, particularly those of the arteries, whose elasticity they preserve. In combination with other molecules, it would have a particularly interesting action in preventing atherosclerosis.
  • Niacin would protect neuronal cells from premature aging and could, in this sense, prevent neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, etc.)

Vitamin B3 requirements

The body's needs for this vitamin change throughout life, food intake must therefore be adapted to these changing needs to avoid niacin deficiency.

Trying to choose between a money market account versus a savings account? Since an MMA is a type of savings account, the choice isn’t so much between two very different kinds of accounts. It's more of a question of what type of savings account is best for you.

Both bank deposit accounts typically earn interest, but there are some differences between the two. Money market accounts typically offer debit cards and the ability to write a few checks each month, while regular savings accounts don’t. But high-yield savings accounts have also their advantages that could make them the better choice.
