Is nutrition the key to health? 

Nutrition and health, in fact, are two sides of the same coin. They are, therefore, inseparable. Health depends to a large extent on nutrition.

Good nutrition is the key to good mental and physical health. Eating a balanced diet is an important part of good health for everyone. The kind and amount of food you eat affects the way you feel and how your body works.

Good nutrition helps fuel your body. The foods you eat supply the nutrients your body needs to maintain your brain, muscle, bone, nerves, skin, blood circulation, and immune system. Proper nutrition also helps protect you from illness and disease, such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and osteoporosis.

All of us want to maintain positive health, which is a perfect blend of physical, social and mental. Taking adequate amounts of essential nutrients in our diet is necessary to maintain positive health.

Our body knows what it needs but too often we do not listen to it. For many of us, our habits, desires, wants and circumstances are what drive our food decisions/choices.

When we don’t understand our body’s signals or continually make "bad" choices, we end up with problems that become the cornerstone of many diseases.

KNOW YOUR BODY & MIND!

The food you eat plays a major role in the development of chronic diseases and the “minor annoyances” that quietly persist day in and day out. Food also impacts your overall mental health.

Processed food is implicated as causing many illnesses and bodily ailments such as headaches, bloating, constipation, low energy, diabetes, weight gain, gastrointestinal distress, low hormone and energy production, depression, anxiety and much more.

YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH!
