The aim of Nutritional therapy is to encourage the body’s own healing system to work efficiently. The statement “You are what you eat” has been used a great deal and is quite true in many ways. A diet that is devoid of essential nutrients such as fast food high in carbohydrate and fats will eventually lead to health problems. To simply add vitamins to this diet would not solve the problem. Good organic food, fresh water, sunlight, fresh air and exercise are essentials to all living creatures, without the right balance of nutrients our bodies cannot overcome the stresses of modern living. There are many people whose body systems have the inability to absorb the nutrients from their food source, the
correct balance of nutrients need to be included in their diet. It is only by consulting a Nutritional Therapist that this can be achieved. Diagnostic test and an in-depth consultation of diet lifestyle and medical history will be required. A program is then recommended focusing on foods that need eliminating from the diet to help detoxify the body’s systems, foods to increase to correct vitamin and mineral deficiencies. This will lead to a healthy digestion, which in turn will aid the body’s recovery.
