“You are what you eat” This is a well known phase but one that is very true.
When people speak of diet they think of slimming diets, however, your every day diet is important to your overall health.
When young we can usually get away with eating what we like including junk food.
The results of a continual poor diet when young will start to show later in life. When we reach 35+ we will feel the effects of eating the wrong foods with indigestion, flatulence, or even worse! We risk diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, etc.
“What is one man’s poison is another man’s medicine”
So sometimes we need a food intolerance test to check which foods suit us and those which don’t and need to be eliminated from our diet. (see Lin Clarke’s section)
Occasionally we need extra nutrients in the way of supplements. It does us no good to pop down the Supermarket and pick up what is on offer. These cheap and cheerful supplements are exactly that and apart from a pseudo effect could do us no good at all and may be the wrong choice anyway. Therefore they could easily be a complete waste of money.
Health Practitioners use supplement companies whose products are tested at pharmaceutical standards and results will be positive and safe. They will advise which supplements you really need for yoru condition.
Hippocrates said “Let medicine be your food and food be your medicine”
Nutritional Health Practitioners can help with a wide range of Health conditions and will give you the time which overworked doctors haven’t got. Please note that the medical profession will often state that if you are getting a balanced diet you do not need supplements. But, what is a balance diet? How can you get a balanced diet from the food sold now? Impossible! Many nutrients like selenium have disappeared from the soil and therefore our food. You would need to eat 10 oranges to get the vitamin C that was in one orange in the 1950s! Similar deficiencies apply to other nutrients. Add to that the pesticides, hormones and other poisons sprayed and added to food is it any wonder we are facing immune systems diseases in this 21st century.
