Good Nutrition provides the fundamental building blocks necessary for the body to function on a cellular level. Hence the statement “You are what You eat”,  what are you made of ? Would you like to be made of, organically grown foods, or chemicals and processed nutrient devoid foods?

We are constantly putting things into our mouth which are not us, Yet will make us what we are! Eating devitalized foods may seem convenient, but it leads to a devitalized life and a low level of health. The body may not cope with chemical additives, preservatives, artificial colours, flavourings and so fourth. The body will function most effectively on fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, meat, and fish. They should be prepared in such a manner that their nutrient value is not impaired or destroyed.

Nutrition has largely been ignored in the medical model of thought and training, instead the focus is on altering the body with manufactured pharmaceutical drugs.

An important adjunct to good nutrition is the assimilation of the food into the body. Little value is obtained from nutritious foods if the digestive ability of the body is compromised.

My naturopathic consultations include a focus on the individuals Nutritional status along with Iridology analysis of the digestive ability of the individual. This step is important for many reasons, quite often food allergies and related skin conditions for example, are considered being caused by food itself. When the cause may well be by a result of digestive insufficiency caused by various pathogens or poor tissue integrity.
