Improper nutrition

Nutrition and health: a conscious choice for a long and healthy life

The modern world offers us an abundance of food, but despite this, the number of diseases continues to grow. We no longer suffer from nutritional deficiencies, but from a qualitative lack of essential nutrients for health.

Our well-being, energy and the functioning of our internal organs depend on what we put on our plate.

Why does an abundance of food not make us healthy?

Lack of knowledge about nutrients. Many people focus only on calories, proteins, fats and carbohydrates, neglecting amino acids, minerals, vitamins, enzymes and essential fatty acids.

Excess chemical additives. Pesticides, preservatives, flavor enhancers present in industrial products alter digestion and metabolism.

Lack of time for healthy eating. Fast and processed foods are preferred (pasta, fast food, ready meals, frozen foods) that overload the body without providing it with essential nutrients.

What nutrients does the body need?

To maintain health, 67 essential elements are needed every day :

  • 28 amino acids – essential for cells, tissues and muscles.
  • 17 minerals – involved in metabolism and organ functions.
  • 12 vitamins – regulate the immune, hormonal and nervous systems.
  • 7 groups of enzymes – essential for digestion and absorption of nutrients.
  • 3 essential fatty acids – protect the brain, heart and blood vessels.

Their deficiency leads to serious disorders

  • Lack of calcium – brittle bones, hair and nails.
  • Magnesium deficiency – heart weakness, cramps and chronic fatigue.
  • Iodine deficiency – thyroid problems and slow metabolism.
  • Sodium-potassium imbalance – water retention and bloating.

Knowing the principles of functional nutrition allows you to build a balanced diet that strengthens the immune system and promotes the body’s natural detoxification.

The importance of food supplements

Even with a balanced diet, it is difficult to get all the nutrients you need:

  • Soil is depleted – fruits and vegetables contain up to 5 times fewer nutrients than 50 years ago.
  • Processed foods lose vitamins and enzymes during processing.
  • Pollution increases the need for antioxidants and detoxification.

Natural food supplements help fill these gaps by providing biologically available nutrients that can be absorbed at the cellular level.

It is essential to take them in a targeted way, with a systemic and personalized approach. A healthy lifestyle expert can create a plan tailored to your well-being.

Healthy eating + correct supplementation = balance and longevity

Make a conscious choice for your health!
