“The Doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with Nutrition” Thomas Edison c 1870
We really are what we eat, so what we eat has a direct effect on how we feel and function. Our body is an incredible regenerating organism that is constantly self –regulating and rejuvenating, our skin renews itself every 21 days, bones repair in 6 weeks, our gut lining replaces itself every 4 days, In 5 years we are almost a completely new person, so without the right nutrients this process becomes impaired.
The 3 major nutrients (macronutrients) that are used to build and fuel us are:-
Carbohydrates
Fat
Protein
As well as the many vitamins and minerals (micronutrients), these are all essential for keeping our body running smoothly. Nutrients are involved in every function of our body so if deficient our body will not work efficiently. They are vital for the brain, nervous system, every single bodily process, balance hormones, produce energy, boost immune system and healthy skin.
What you also need to understand is that not only do foods contain “essential nutrients”, some foods also contain “anti-nutrients”, such as refined sugar, damaged fats, chemical additives, and toxic minerals. All of which can disrupt the good work of the essential nutrients, and not only can they impair our rejuvenating process, there are also many associated health problems linked to these “anti-nutrients”. So it is vitally important to ensure the food you eat and feed your family does not contain them.
Probably the most important thing you could do for yourself & your family’s future health and happiness is to provide Optimum Nutrition.
