“Your Food Shall be your Remedy. Let Food be your Medicine and let Medicine be your Food” – Hippocrates, Greek Physician, 5th Century B.C.
The father of medicine, Hippocrates, knew all those ions ago, that what we ate was at the core of true health and wellness. That was when they had “real” food, alive with enzymes, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. Now, we are faced with a food supply that’s irradiated, killing all living enzymes, harvested before it’s ripe, grown in soil that’s been over farmed, raping the soil of it’s nutrient value, covered in pesticides, and we could go on and on. That is why it’s more important than ever to be aware of what you are eating and how it impacts your health. We, at A Natural Approach to Wellness believe that what you eat can determine your path to wellness or illness. Our philosophy is “Enjoy your food-Food is LOVE”. Our goal is to help enlighten you about food and nutrition and encourage you to make healthy lifestyle choices.
Holistic Nutrition uses various combinations of food and nutrients to help individuals achieve optimal mental, physical and spiritual health. It can be used as a preventative health approach for the average person without any ailments or as a modality for healing or symptom management for people living with chronic illness or other medical conditions.
The focus is on eating foods that provide your body with the highest levels of nutritional value and supplementing the diet with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids etc.when necessary. However, it is much more than just eating a balanced diet.
Diet and nutrition have a profound impact on mental and physical health. The wrong food and lack of balanced nutrients can lead to many debilitating psychological and physical symptoms and degenerative health conditions.
Holistic nutrition is very individualized, personal and specific to your needs. It takes into account a person's overall medical and physical health, as well as the issues that he or she is trying to improve or heal. It also considers the underlying issues that are going on with your health as well as how ill a person is or how aggressive they want to be with obtaining the results that they want to achieve. Different illnesses, conditions or diseases have different nutritional requirements and each responds to diet and nutrition uniquely.
There is also not a "one size fits all diet." Some people thrive on a macrobiotic diet, while others may not be able to function at all with that many carbohydrates. A vegetarian diet is perfect for some body types and yet it can leave other body types in a heap on the floor. Some people function most optimally on a high meat diet while others do better with mostly vegetables.
