Nutrition

Food is clearly an important part of the comprehensive lifestyle solution, but all food is not created equal. It’s no coincidence that the same six basic food categories we eat are the exact same compounds that comprise our bodies.  Seventy percent of body composition management and 100% of the tangible energy required for life is derived from the food we consume.

It is important to understand that the term ‘essential’ as it relates to specific nutrients. ‘Essential’ doesn’t mean that the nutrient might be good for you, but that it is imperative for your survival. You must consume the daily essential nutrients to avoid a deficiency. Over a long period of time, a deficiency can and will result in disease.

Instilling healthy eating habits with a clear understanding of the essential nutrients required for individual optimum performance and disease resistance may contribute to intelligent, lifelong healthy eating.
