Clinical Nutrition is the branch of healthcare that focuses upon the connection between food, vitamin and other natural supplements, lifestyle, environment and health. Several decades ago, our approach to nutrition was very naïve. It was generally accepted that if one consumed a proper amount of calories, enough protein, and adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals to prevent deficiency diseases, there was nothing more to consider. How times have changed! We now know that nutrition is one of the most powerful influences on how our genes are expressed. In other words, a person can have a genetic make-up that predisposes to a certain disease but by altering the way the genes function through diet and other lifestyle modification, disease can be averted. Custom-tailored diet and natural supplements can both prevent and aid recovery from illness. Determination of individual need makes all the difference. If your diet and nutrient intake are less than optimal, your health will be also.
