How does nutritional therapy work ?
Nutritional therapy helps to find the root cause of the problem, instead of treating the symptoms without addressing the root cause.
Nutritional therapy is not just a plan handed to you that you have to follow to just loose weight. It is much more than that, It is feeding your body optimally so you can remain healthy or become healthy.
Most people see food as just an energy source, but it is much more than that. Food is broken down in our body and interacts with our hormones and cells.
Our body is designed to heal itself, if you give it the right environment to heal in. Lifestyle factors, diet , environmental factors get in the way of this.
Imagine your body as a machine, which requires certain percentages of nutrients to function. If it does not have enough fuel, it will not function optimally or if it has the wrong source of fuel, in the long run it will not work optimally.
Already, our body on a daily basis, faces many exterior factors that could impair our health, such pollution, chemicals, which our body has to fight with. If you also do not nourish the body adequately with the right foods and exercise, long term it can impair your health.
