THE NUTRITIONIST
FAQs
What is nutrition?
The food we eat provides fuel for our bodies; it is from this food that we are made; skin cells, brain cells, hormones; every part of the body is carefully constructed from the food we eat.
Optimum nutrition provides the body with the correct balance of protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins and minerals needed for growth and repair.
Food provides fuel and nutrients and the body needs a steady supply. It is these daily food choices that impact on our day to day health and it is never too late to make improvements; this doesn’t have to be a radical overhaul, sometimes just a small change can make a big difference.
Even though there is no blanket diet for everyone there are general guidelines that should be incorporated. Stress, lack of sleep, refined foods, sugar, pollution and medication are just some of the factors that can impair our overall health and wellbeing, in fact these can be thought of as “anti-nutrients”. Optimum nutrition can help limit the effects and lead to a healthier more enjoyable life.

Are you fed up with feeling generally under par or being told it’s all in your head?
