Natural Nutrition: Stay Healthy With Proper Nutrition

By: Gerry Marsh

Natural nutrition has two underlying precepts: the body has the remarkable ability to heal itself and it cannot work against itself. Natural nutrition is not only about what we put into our mouths in the form of food and drink it is also about taking responsibility for the quality of our decisions.

The many combinations of ingredients naturally found in fresh produce, as opposed to supplements, are essential in order to maintain optimal health. Choose to consume only those foods that contain natural enzymes and nutrients and your body will feel and look healthier and more energized. Many illnesses can be treated successfully through proper nutrition.


Nutrition Should Not Come From A Factory

Avoid foods which have chemical additives, which have been irradiated and which are genetically changed. Processed, prepackaged, refined, manufactured, artificially flavored and/or colored, preservative-laden, chemically treated, or chemically engineered foods are strongly discouraged. They lack the nutritional value of whole foods and they contain many additives, which further robs the system of essential nutrients. To stay in tune with the cycles of nature you can choose foods that are in season.

Consume Natural Vitamins

The body requires vitamins which for the most part should come from selecting nutritious foods. Keep in mind that vitamins consumed as a supplement are missing most of the enzymes, co-enzymes, minerals, mineral activators and other substances that work with vitamins which allow them to be absorbed and fully used by the body.

Nature Heals

Your body is for the most part a self repairing machine if it receives proper nourishment and is not compromised by toxins and pollution. Unfortunately we live in a toxic environment and the mass market food supply seldom provides all the nutrients we need. The first essential step toward wellness, therefore, is to be sure you are getting the correct amounts of the proper nutrients by choosing only the freshest, least altered foods.

Balance

Various illnesses have been corrected time and time again by supplying the body's requirement for balanced nutrition. Rather than treating areas or symptoms in isolation, natural nutrition treats the whole person, restoring a state of balance, so that the body may then correct its own symptoms. High quality natural nutrition is about 'balance' not 'potency'.

Natural Nutrition Is Healthy Nutrition

By using natural nutrition you are able to reverse many conditions including:

Allergies
Arthritis/Rheumatism
Asthma
Childrens' behavioral problems
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
IBS/Digestive complaints
Headaches
Infertility
Skin problems, including Acne, eczema and psoriasis
Weight problems

Summary

Natural nutrition is about handing us back control of our own health, permitting us to see and feel what is going on and respond accordingly. It is without a doubt the most effective form of nutrition. Consuming only natural ingredients continually keeps us aware of our current health picture.

Unnatural nutrition is one of the major causes of many of our illnesses, while natural nutrition is an equally powerful agent in curing these illnesses and rejuvenating our bodies. A poor diet could be unknowingly causing your pain and discomfort, short temper, heartburn, fatigue, weight gain, depression, allergies, and anxiety.
