NATUROPATHIC NUTRITION

Naturopathic Nutrition uses whole and organic foods and its nutritional elements as medicine.

Naturopathic Nutritionists treat their patients as a whole (body, mind and soul), looking for deficiencies that may be causing illness, which are specific to each individual.

A Practitioner will make sure you take a balanced combination of nutrients, tailored specifically to your individual needs, to make you healthy.

The importance of wholefoods

All wholefoods are a mixture of vital nutrients and other chemicals, so while a food may be rich in a particular nutrient it may also contain other valuable nutrients and health-giving factors.

Some foods that contain a high range of important nutrients are often called "superfoods".

Finding foods which taste good and do you good can be part of the fun of eating well, whether you live alone, or as part of a family.

A healthy diet

Nutrition can determine how we look, feel, work, whether we will be nervous, tired, pessimistic, joyful, comfortable, happily active, whether we will age prematurely or enjoy our lives to the full. In other words, Nutrition can determine our quality of life.

Take some extra steps to obtain the nutritional content of your food:

• Eat organic food whenever possible. It may be more expensive, but you can be sure that the food you are eating has not been processed and has been grown without the use of pesticides, hormones, fertilisers, and other chemicals.

• Eat the skin of vegetables

• Eat superfoods (natural foods high in nutrients)

• Drink fresh fruit/vegetable juices as often as possible.

• Don't cut, wash, or soak fruit and vegetables until you are ready to eat them.

• Eat whole grains.

• Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.

• Eat raw whenever possible. If cooking, use as little water as possible.

• If you boil fruit or vegetables, use the water remaining in your sauces, soups, etc.
