Most chronic illnesses are linked to a lack of nutrition and a stressful lifestyle. These two factors have always been closely connected and people who eat a healthy, balanced diet are often far less stressed than those who eat a poor one. If you are feeling overly stressed, your digestive system is probably under a great deal of strain, and a balanced and varied diet could be the key to feeling better physically and emotionally.
Food Matters:
Food can be classified according to many criteria. One of them is on the basis of the food’s pH within the body – whether acidic or alkaline. There are enzymes in the food we eat which can affect our metabolism. More and more people around the world are suffering from illnesses and diseases associated with high- fat, high-cholesterol, chemically enhanced, nutrient-depleted foods, alongside environmental pollutants, stress, and our tendency to rely overly on medications.
Enzymes:
Enzymes are proteins that have a catalytic function indispensable to the maintenance and activity of life. They function in a mild environment similar to the body environment of a living organism, and they support life by synthesizing and degrading the materials that constitute the building blocks of the organism, and by creating energy. Food is the only way we can provide our body with its nutritional needs. No matter where you are from or what your age is, everyone requires the same basic nutritional components for a healthy body. Nutrition can be split into three categories: macronutrients, micronutrients, and phytonutrients.
Acid/Alkaline Foods:
Cells in the body require a tightly controlled pH level of about 7.4 (a slightly alkaline range of 7.35 to 7.45) to survive. Eating an alkaline diet or taking alkaline food supplements could help reduce morbidity and mortality from the chronic diseases that plague our aging population.
Macronutrients:
Basic nutrition is composed of four main macronutrients: protein, fat, carbohydrates and fiber. Proteins are the body’s building blocks – they help our cells to grow and repair themselves. Fat stores energy for the long term and is also a great barrier for our cells and body.
Micronutrients:
In addition to macronutrients, we need micronutrients – vitamins and minerals. We call these “micro” because we need them in much smaller quantities every day, even though they play a big role in the body. Micronutrients and macronutrients are interdependent. But we need a larger variety of micronutrients – more than 20 – to complement the four macronutrients. Micronutrients perform hundreds of roles in the body to sustain life. Our body can manufacture only some vitamins; others can only be obtained from specific foods or specific combinations of foods. Minerals can be obtained exclusively from foods. It takes a lot of effort and variety in our diet to get the optimal daily amount of vitamins and minerals.
Phytonutrients:
Phytonutrients are organic components found in plants. Fruits,vegetables,grains,legumes, nuts and tea are all rich sources of phytonutrients. They help protect plants from germs, fungi and other threats. And when absorbed by our bodies, phytonutrients can contribute to our well-being and keep our bodies working properly. We should all eat a greater variety of colourful fruits and vegetables to gain the greatest benefits from phytonutrients. The more we learn about how our bodies work, the more we understand how critical it is to support them with proper nutrition. Without proper nutrition, our bodies cannot grow, heal, or generate healthy new cells at optimal levels. We are also much more vulnerable to diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and other degenerative illnesses. To function optimally, our bodies need vitamins and minerals. Sadly, our bodies are not capable of producing most vitamins and minerals independently, which is why we rely on our diets to meet our needs. Vitamin or mineral deficiencies can lead to illness.
