Nutrition
Nutrition is an important part of our health as it is necessary for many enzymatic and biochemical reactions in the body. Without proper nutrition, our bodies would starve, metabolism slows down and disease develops. Foods have many different properties associated with them and depending on your health condition, certain foods should be avoided.
You know the saying, 'you are what you eat?' It is true. A person suffering with arthritis or chronic pain should avoid foods that naturally cause inflammation in the body and consume more foods that help the body cleanse and heal itself. During a naturopathic consultation, each health condition is assessed and treated specific to your needs. Food allergies or intolerances are determined and dietary regimes are prescribed. As various foods are eliminated from the diet, and nutritional deficiencies are assessed and treated with appropriate supplementation, detoxification is encouraged and healing occurs.
