Health and Holistic Nutrition
As the awareness of alternative medicine continues to grow, people are realizing the need to take more responsibility for their own health. Yet, in this ever-expanding field of holistic health, the amount of information and viewpoints are overwhelming. Sifting through the often conflicting information leaves many us puzzled as opposed to enlightened. Many people are turning to Holistic Practitioners to help them sort through the hype and guide them towards well-researched, nutritionally healthy ways of living. Holistic Nutritionists guide their clients through the maze of information from books, magazines, supplements and diets on the market. They work with clients to identify and help correct the nutritional causes of diseases, and they are qualified to design personalized diet and lifestyle programs that optimize health.
The word, "Holistic" simply means "whole." Holistic Health is a system of healthcare that emphasizes personal responsibility and enhances a cooperative relationship between the Practitioner and client. It integrates the physical, nutritional, environmental, emotional and spiritual aspect of an individual’s life, all of which have a dramatic effect on the healing.
To achieve harmony and wellness, we must consider the whole being rather than just focusing on the symptom or specific problem. Holistic therapies aim to help restore balance thus allowing the body to heal itself naturally. Nutrition is the key factor to attain optimal health and well-being. There's truth behind the phrase, "you are what you eat." The quality of food eaten affects the degree of wellness experienced. A Holistic Nutritionist educates clients about the best foods and lifestyle choices suitable to them and their family along with teaching ways to optimize health daily.
Natural, wholesome foods provide the formula to health & longevity. At Healthy 4 Life Centre, we believe that proper nutrition is the foundation of health.
