What is Nutritional Therapy?
A Healthy Diet
Numerous research studies have confirmed that diet and nutrition play a significant and important role in the management of pain. Success relies on a multidisciplinary and multidimensional approach, incorporating lifestyle & dietary changes to achieve optimum health and well-being.
What is Nutritional Therapy?
Nutritional therapy is using diet to treat and prevent illness, and restore the body to a natural healthy equilibrium. Nutritionists believe that sub-clinical deficiencies of minerals and vitamins are responsible for much disease and weakness in the body.
Examples of conditions resulting from sub-clinical deficiencies include fatigue, lethargy and susceptibility to colds and viruses.
The Western Diet
Westerners tend to be overfed but undernourished. The foods we eat are far less nutritious than they appear thanks to intensive farming methods, pesticides, additives and preservatives.
We now know that food intolerances and allergies significantly contribute to various conditions such as asthma, eczema and rheumatoid arthritis.
But on a more positive note, we also know that certain types of food can actually support and stimulate the body's intrinsic ability to heal itself.
