Nutrition is the relationship of foods to the health of the human body. Proper nutrition implies receiving adequate foods and supplements to convey the nutrients required for optimal health.

Proper nutrition means that all the essential nutrients (for instance carbohydrates, fats, protein, vitamins, minerals and water) are supplied and utilised in adequate balance to maintain optimal health and wellbeing. Nutritional deficiencies result whenever inadequate amount s of essential nutrients are provided to tissues that must function normally over a long period of time. Good nutrition is essential for normal organ development and functioning for normal reproduction, growth and maintenance of optimal activity level and working efficiency for resistance to infection and disease and for the ability to repair bodily damage or injury.

At our centre we provide nutritional advice that is best suited to your blood type, your condition and constitution and insure a follow up on your progress.

  
Nutrition
Nutrition plays an important role in virtually every medical condition. The rising incidence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, high cholesterol and many types of cancer have been positively correlated to the Western diet.

Today's consumers are flooded with information about what they should be eating to improve their health, this overload often leaves people confused and unsure about what to eat. The use of antibiotics and hormones in animal produce; pesticides and herbicides sprayed on crops; the use of chemicals and preservatives in food processing burden our detoxification systems and can leave us depleted of essential nutrients.  Australian soils are notoriously mineral deficient further rendering foods low in essential minerals.

Food processing, long-term storage and handling can significantly reduce the nutrients present in our food. The combined effect can make it difficult to attain everything we need from our food for the optimum health of ourselves and our children.
