Nutritional Solutions
Nutritional solutions are essential for health management
in the 21st century.
The modern daily flood of stress, environmental toxins,
and highly processed chemical transfat and sugar laden
foods damage our health and leave us deficient of vitamin
nutrients. Supplementation positively influences our
nutrient absorption, aids in detoxification, and provides
unique nutrient support for our immune system.
We are bombarded with marketing and advertisements regarding
many nutritional solutions. It is important to find
a trusted advisor to assist you with choices. Each person
requires an individualized plan of supplementation depending
upon their health, lifestyle, stress, sleep patterns,
eating habits, addictions and usage of prescription
drugs.
Acupuncture physicians are trained in the value of nutrition
and the chemistry and physiology behind the development
of bio-available supplementation. State of the art blood
testing is available through this practitioner providing
a detailed analysis of 31 vitamins and trace minerals
within your body. By creating a base line with testing,
the acupuncturist and patient can develop a reasonable
plan for appropriate supplements including cost and
ease of ingestion.
Modern medicine has been researching the immune system
and understanding its importance in the majority of
diseases and chronic conditions.
Fifty years ago, it was possible to maintain good nutritional
habits with food alone. In today’s industrialized and
processed foods, it is difficult to obtain the necessary
nutritional building blocks for good health.
The best general nutritional supplementation is a multiple
vitamin and mineral formula that includes a variety
of nutrients in low to moderate but adequate dosages.
A supplement should truly serve to supplement a diet,
not to be the diet. The formulation needs to be absorbable
and digestible, a bio-available product.
In addition anti-oxidants occur in food and supplementation
may be necessary, depending upon your dietary habits.
Prescription medications deplete certain vitamin levels.
Adequate calcium and mineral balances are necessary
to maintain the structural integrity of the skeleton,
the normal function of muscle contraction, cell membrane
function and hormonal secretions. Calcium also functions
as a second messenger within the cell, relaying messages
to the cell about the arrival of proteins and growth
factors at the receptor sites of the cell’s surface.
The calcium formulation needs to be absorbable and include
magnesium, zinc and Vitamin D.
The field of nutrition is growing exponentially and
requires guidance and counseling to incorporate sensible
choices for a healthy lifestyle.
