The
Importance Of Nutrition
By Nancy Zivkovic, CNP, RNCP
Most of us think we have a "healthy" diet.
However, nowadays the quality of our food is not what
it once was. Did you know that premature harvesting
accounts for food value losses of up to 25%, transporting
another 25% and storage can account for losses up to
50%. So just how "healthy" is our diet?
Today more than ever balancing lifestyle and diet are
extremely important. Each day we are exposed to harmful
chemicals in our daily lives from the air we breathe,
the water we drink, and the food we eat. From the moment
we awaken until the time we go to sleep, we are inundating
our bodies with environmental toxins.
The
good news is our bodies have seven organs of detoxification
that help to manage this toxic load. The bad news is
overexposure to harmful chemicals can compromise our
ability to detoxify. As a result, we may begin to manifest
symptoms such as fatigue, migraines, allergies, skin
conditions, aches and pains, constipation, bloating
and obesity.
A
holistic nutritionist can help by identifying and addressing
the root cause of the problem. Benefits include increased
energy, boosting immunity and slowing down the time
bomb of aging! Dietary programs are customized to suit
your individual needs helping you to achieve optimal
health and wellness. Holistic nutrition gets to the
root of the problem!

If
you don’t have coverage for our therapies through
your insurance plan you may be eligible to write them
off on your taxes. One hidden deduction is the Medical
Expenses Tax Credit which can be used for Dental, Chiropractic,
Registered Massage Therapy and therapies performed by
a medical professional. Other therapies that may be
covered seem to be a gray area with Revenue Canada so
check with your accountant come tax time.
