Optimum Nutrition
Ideally we should get all the nutrients we need from a balanced diet.
However this is difficult as much of today's food is low in nutrients
due to modern farming methods and length of storage. It may also be
heavily contaminated with chemical preservatives, artificial colours
and flavourings.
Environmental pollutants affect the body's ability to absorb and
assimilate nutrients. Also factors such as exposure to stress, smoking,
drinking, pregnancy, age and exercise can increase your body's requirements
for nutrients.
Numerous studies have shown that a lack of certain nutrients affects
health and can be the underlying cause of chronic and degenerative
diseases as well as minor complaints.
Diet has always been a part of medicine and healing. Now due to
scientific advances in the understanding of essantial nutrients
and their functions, many conditions, even those of many years duration,
can successfully be treated and reversed through nutrition.
