What is it all about? Put quite simply you are what you eat! Despite the amazing choice of food available in todays society, most people choose their food for reasons of taste, cost, convenience and psychological gratification. All those reasons are OK as long as we do not forget the real reason why we eat: to nourish the cells of the body with essential ingredients from the diet. While humans can survive on many differing and bad diets for years, we can only thrive on a narrowly defined set of nutrition principles. In addition to poor choices in food, the western diet of today is often over-processed, grown in poor conditions and stored for long periods. By the time it reaches our tables it has lost many nutrients and is coated in chemicals. We are all bio chemically individual with particular lifestyle demands. Our nutrition needs have to be tailored absolutely to suit us. Nutritional Deficiencies. Deficiencies can begin to occur from birth or even before from deficient mothers. As we grow and develop the body requires more nutrients as building blocks and cofactors of enzymes. If they are absent or in short supply the body simply cannot function normally. Over time these deficiencies can lead to chronic illnesses and diseases.
