The human body is one of the most complex organisms on the planet. It takes a matrix of biological systems to make it function efficiently. Stated simply, metabolism is the process by which our body converts food into energy and mass. During this complex biochemical process, calories — from carbohydrates, fats and proteins — are combined with oxygen to release the energy our body needs to function. But just eating proper amounts of carbohydrates, fats and proteins is not the total answer to optimal health. Eating healthy, wholesome, food is the start, but how well do we digest, absorb, utilize and eliminate?
We are only as strong as our weakest link! Eating pure, wholesome food is just the start but it’s a good start. We should also take the proper vitamin/mineral and other nutritional supplements regularly, as well as appropriate digestive aids. It is important to keep our bowel clean and free of mucus build up by regular cleanses, and reinoculating the gut with good intestinal flora. Making sure our hormones are balanced properly is the next step and finally making sure we have a good elimination of both metabolic and environmental toxins is one of the most important steps we can take to assure optimal health. But how do you know what your individual body requires? Don’t waste money on supplement and programs that aren't right for you! Affordable tests take the guesswork out of choosing the right programs that are correct for your optimal health.
