We Are What We Eat
We are able to stay alive, by putting food into our bodies. It is a necessity. While there is nothing wrong with seeing food as a luxury, a lifestyle, a culture, a want or a desire, it is important, not to overlook or neglect its fundamental role; keeping us alive.
To keep us alive, food needs to deliver into our bodies, a spread and balance of nutrients, that refuels and restocks what our bodies use up all the time. For that to happen, our food, that we eat, must have that necessary spread and balance of nutrients to begin with.
We say spread, because of the wide variety of vitamins, pro-botics, proteins and other elements our who physical system requires for functioning. We say balance, because a lack of any one nutrient is enough to cause harm to us, so nothing should be short, while at the same time, too much of any one nutrient is damaging as well.
Most of us today are very good with food varieties, delicacies, menus and tastes of all sorts. Many of us however, are not apt with keeping track of what we are eating, how much we are eating and whether or not we are meeting our unique personal intake needs, in terms of nutrition, through what we eat. This is where Naturopaths and Ayurvedic Practitioners can be very helpful.
Naturopathy, besides managing or treating ailments, without reliance on chemical based drugs, is about keeping ailments away by natural means including through a proper understanding of nutrition, diet and the human body. Ayurveda, is the most ancient form of healthcare, central to which is the understanding of the nutritional values different types of food or ingredients bring to the body.
Our health defines us, in terms of our abilities to live our lives. That definition depends heavily on our dietary intake. Therefore, what we eat, literally makes us. If we eat right and eat right well, we live great lives. This sounds simple enough, but if you believe it is a challenge for you in practice, firstly you are being honestly with yourself which is excellent, and secondly, you are probably not alone, as this is quite common with many people. And this challenge can be easily overcome, by talking to capable Naturopaths and Ayurvedic Practitioners. You may wish to give Life Vitality a call.
