The body is made from many different substances; we are literally what we eat. We need to provide the body with the right balance of all the different nutrients which are necessary to keep us healthy and to prevent the onset of disease and premature ageing. Our bodies cells use the nutrients we consume to grow, repair and heal themselves. The modern diet does not generally contain the range, level or quality of nutrients we need to function at an optimal level. Added to which anti-nutrient lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol, stress, overeating, pesticides and pollution can actively deplete nutrient levels in the body. This poor nutrient state can lead to a wide range of health problems.

A number of us may have food intolerances and not be aware of it and have just learned to live with certain symptoms. Food intolerances can make you feel really ill. If you are food intolerant a delayed immune response occurs in your body, which means your immune system will not work properly. Food intolerances can have a direct effect on the absorption of nutrients, digestive function and weight management. |
A Bio-electronic analyser machine is used which is capable of measuring the body’s resistance, which will help pinpoint potentially harmful foods. All that is required is for a small sensor to touch the end of your finger. The experience is similar to touching the end of your finger with a ballpoint pen. The Nutritional Therapist uses the machine to pinpoint the foods that may be causing your problems. The procedure is quick, non-invasive, painless and provides instant results.
Following the test you will be advised on how to eliminate harmful food from your diet and you will be provided with information on safe nutritional alternatives whilst following an elimination programme. The test covers a full food test of 120 items, vitamin and mineral analysis plus a nutritional programme.
