Nutritional Therapy
Helps you to work out what are the very best foods for you to optimise your health. There’s a well known saying “we are what we eat”. It’s truer than you may think!
Melody MacKeown
The body needs the right kinds of carbohydrates, proteins and fats as well as vitamins, minerals and plant nutrients to work at its best. The correct nutrients are essential for the digestive, reproductive, immune and nervous systems to function properly and also to prevent disease (incredibly, the World Cancer Research Fund has estimated that 30-40% of cancers could be prevented through correct dietary choices). Making adjustments to your diet can therefore help your body to work properly and to ward off or reverse ill-health, and what’s more, doing something positive can be a delicious and uplifting experience.
“The doctors of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition” Thomas Edison, c.1870
As lifestyle factors often impact on your general wellbeing (e.g. how much stress you are under and how much (or little!) exercise you take), I can not only help you to make the best dietary choices, but also guide you to the most appropriate lifestyle decisions.
But rather than criticise and make judgements, my aim is to help you discover certain foods and habits that will really make a difference, and be a pleasure at the same time. Preparing food can be fun, preparing the right food can be even more so!
