Nutritional Medicine

Definition

Nutritional Medicine is the relationship between food intake and the well-being of the human body. It encompasses the study of environmental effects on the quality of foods, and the impact of nutritional factors on the balance of health and disease through the use of diet, vitamins, minerals and amino acids.

How It Works

Nutritional Medicine works to improve health by addressing the bodys metabolic pathways through the use of diet and nutrients such as vitamins and minerals which act as coenzymes in promoting essential chemical reactions which play an important role in the maintance of every system of the body. They help regulate metabolism, assist in the formation and maintenance of bones and tissues, hormones, nervous system chemicals, and genetic material. Subtle nutrient deficiencies can occur before the onset of signs of classical deficiency. These marginal deficiencies may ultimately contribute to the development of dysfunctional health states and degenerative diseases. Nutritional medicine aims to optimise nutrition according to individual biochemical, environmental and health states. Once biochemical balance has been achieved through supplementation, it can be maintained with daily diet.
