Nutrition
is the right diet for
keeping a metabolic balance,
so we are really choked by the wrong way nutrition is now
seen
by some people not involved in the field,
but dealing with it
such as
physicians. Just to remind them,
nutrition is
related to many complicated sciences which are not yet studied in
medical sciences. It is a very complicated task to really indicate a
diet for a patient when some fundamentals are not acquired by the
specialist.
Nutrition is based
on:
- the chemical
composition of natural food products including vegetal and animal
sources. All techniques used in the production of foods should be well
monitored. Pesticides, hormones, GMO, feed, green houses crops. You can
never advice people about their diet when you do not know how food
products are produced. You can never advise people about their diet when
you do not know how crops meat and milk are produced and processed. All
the food products should be pesticides free hormones free GMO free.
Crops should not be grown in green houses and animal should be pastured.
- the chemical
composition of processed food products and how they are processed. All
people dealing with nutrition should know about food additives, food
processing, food microbiology, food science, food technology, packaging
and freezing as well as micro-waving and or irradiating of foods. Note
that some food products are chemically synthesized and they are not from
nature but from chemical industries such as flavours, drinks, sweeteners
and many food enrichments.
- the chemical and
physical modifications of food by processing and cooking or any other
treatment aiming food preservation. There is no safe process except
cooking food at home. Yet some physicians in our country are still
recommending margarine as a vegetable fat free of cholesterol, they do
not know that they are growling behind.
- the nature of
hazardous chemicals used in the food industry and diseases they cause.
Neurological, digestive and skin diseases are not less dangerous than
cancer.
- the natural
nutrients and their sources in the nature and how to obtain them. These
may include phytonutrients, vitamins minerals and dietary fibres.
- the natural
antioxidants and their sources in the nature as well as natural hormones
such as estrogens and their sources.
- the way food
should be eaten (raw or cooked) and also food combinations. Time for
eating is not respected by people who eat at morning, midnight and the
evening. The right time for eating is when you feel hungry.
- the right way to
control weight and over eating, as well as any abnormal weight gain.
Through nutrition the weight can be well monitored. Nutrition is also
fasting when you have an extra energy accumulated. But the way fasting
should be envisaged is also a very hard task for many nutritionists, so
fasting is different from starvation, fasting is based on time and a
good will to do it. It is set between dawn and sunset and it may concern
food and water. Starvation is a cut of food but not drinks and it is
practiced during a sufficient time to reduce the excess of energy.
- the right
solution for the food related diseases: over weight, cholesterol,
triglycerides, hypertension, gall stone, coronary and heart diseases,
cancer, allergies, anaemia.
- The
right diet to stop the disease and when more than one disease are
identified, the diet should cover all the requirements to overcome all
of them. In Most cases when diabetics contract other diseases.
-
the right amount of food to supply the body with sufficient energy: Not
only proteins, fat and carbohydrates are required but more than these
components the body is needing the metabolism boosting materials such as
vitamins, minerals fibres, antioxidants, and protectors (flavonoids,
polyphenols, chlorophyll, w3).
