Diet & Nutrition
Understanding the role of food as the source for good nutrition and good health can be difficult to unerstand, because of often seemingly conflicting information. However, when we are struggling with health problems, the foods we normally eat may not be the best for us. Food is also a comforting thing and the choices we then make, can compound our health problems. The quality of our foods and food sources are of great importance. Data from research shows how harmful the effect of chemicals used in commercial agriculture, the food industry and also in the environment potentially can have on our health long term. t
As individuals we have differing constitutions, we may struggle with different health issues. We may come from different cultural origins, different places in the world, have different blood types and metabolic rates and a different health blue print, if you will, we have inherited from parents. All of these things can have bearing on which foods will suite us best as we work towards better health. The information we get from the media on nutrition, can "drive us crazy", it is often hard to know what is fact and what is fiction, what will work and what will not.
Natural foods, free of chemicals, free range, oganic is of special imporance to children, so they can develop properly on all levels. That and providing a healthy environment, that nurtures them emortionally, intelectually and socially is part of our own legacy for the future.
Most traditions around the world have regarded whole foods, even local foods freshly prepared as vital to good health and that particular foods have particular healing qualities. It was true 3,000 years ago and it is true today. We eat food not just to feel full. We experience hunger because our bodies need the raw materials to produce the enzymes, hormones, blood cells, create energy, set the metabolic rate, make skin and hair glow, etc., so we can continue to live and thrive.
