Nutritional Therapy aims to restore the body to its
natural state of good health and well-being, using the food nature
intended and supplemental nutrients (where necessary) to fuel, repair
and protect.
'You are what you eat' is often quoted, and
it's true! Every cell in your body depends on the right balance
of nutrients to enable it to function properly. Too much of the
wrong foods and not enough of the right ones can lead to
sub-optimal cellular function and unbalanced body chemistry. This
altered state of physiology can then lead to any one of the many
health problems we encounter today.
The good news is that most of our cells are
constantly being replaced, and unbalanced chemistry can be improved;
this means that the human body has remarkable healing capabilities
given the correct balance of nutrients and lifestyle. This is where
Nutritional Therapy comes in.
How? A Nutritional Therapist will assess your
diet and lifestyle and identify any nutrient imbalances or deficiencies
which may be contributing to your health problem. The therapist
then works with you to devise a personal programme which helps the
body to heal itself and return to its natural state of vitality,
both physically and emotionally.
