-
Learn how your food choices and your ability to digest those foods make all the difference in your health.
-
This class is designed to answer questions on a fundamental level but will also connect-the-dots for the advanced practitioner.
-
Students will learn the fundamentals needed to really understand diet (what we eat), the anatomy of digestion (how we transform it), and how to utilize those nutrients to function at peak performance.
-
Our modern source of food is already lacking in nutrients and the components to digest them properly. How and where does this happen? We will discuss some of the main contributing factors so that you can avoid the consequences.
-
The basic anatomy of digestion will be addressed with an emphasis on how malnutrition makes digestion dysfunctional. We will then take a detailed walk through the digestive system identifying the parts and functions that need to work properly to prevent nutritional deficiencies. Those deficiencies are a major contributing factor to common health complaints like painful muscles, burning stomach and constipation, to name a few.
-
We will identify the connection between immune system stress and malfunction.
-
The nutritional components of each food category, where you get that food, deficiency symptoms and what is needed to digest it will be covered. The importance of vitamins and minerals and their interconnection with proteins, fats, and carbohydrates will be discussed so that students will recognize that diet, digestion and enzymes are dependent on each other.
-
Although designed for the person new to natural health, concepts will be presented that will change the way you view health and clarify your decision making.
