March: Nutrition Month

Nutrition month is celebrated by Nutritionist and Dietitian's alike.  In celebration of healthy eating, the nutrition community organizes events and develops resources that help educate the public about how to take steps to eat healthier and feel better.  Each time you eat you are given an opportunity to either nourish your body or hurt it.  A lot of the symptoms we feel on a day to day basis are linked to the inflammatory, nutrient lacking foods we eat.


As a Holistic Nutritionist, we always recommend removing certain food like products from your diet and replace it with wholesome foods that have come from the ground or off a tree.  

​
Beginning March 1st, I will be blogging about the nutrients we need to be able to fuel our body to keep it operating optimally.  Because when each cell of our body is being provided the vitamins and minerals that you obtain from eating real food, those symptoms such as fatigue, achy joints, headaches, dry itchy skin, bloated, constipation, insomnia, acne, edema, gastrointestinal disturbances and many others, will disappear. These symptoms are all signs of vitamin and mineral deficiencies and/or inflammation caused by foods such as hydrogenated oils and sugar.  Food that is found in nature has a combination of vitamins and minerals so that they can work synergistically within our body to nourish our cells. 
Sometimes supplementation is needed because soil content of minerals differs and can compromise the nutrient value of whole foods.  Too much of one mineral can interfere with the absorption of another vitamin or mineral, making it essential that you get your blood checked for deficiencies then take the results to a healthcare professional to assist in correcting those imbalances safely. 
So I hope you follow along on our quest through the nutrients our body needs, starting off with what our body is mostly made of: WATER! On MARCH 1ST
