If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health. Not going to the doctor and being given a pill, that most the time has side effects, and trying to feel better. I started this page so my friends who don't care about nutrition wouldn't have to hear me go off on diet and nutrition. My goal i
s to have this page inform and educate people on the facts of nutrition without all the spin. I will try to back it up with science as much as possible. How did I get started? I've always had a passion for it. Kind of happens when you lose a father to a heart attack when he was 37 and I was 5. Followed by my struggle with obesity when I was a child and my high cholesterol my whole life. Also, seeing family and friends suffer through diseases of cancer and heart issues and knowing that there are food and nutrients that could help solve these issues without drugs. I started to learn about foods and nutrition and got tired of having people ask me if I was a doctor or nutritionist as I talked to them about nutrition. Nope. I sell technology. Their next comment was, "Well you should be because I learned more from you in 10 minutes than my doctor has told me". I decided to back to school to get a Masters degree in Holistic Nutrition. Finishing my first year. One word to describe it. Fascinating! Why did I get that business degree those many years ago? Many years ago, the Gutenberg Bible changed the way people viewed religion. Where the clergy used to interpret the bible for the masses, it was now put in the hands of the people. The internet has done that for nutrition. It is no longer in the hands of the few. It is there for all to see and interpret. Information and science continues to move forward and can be verified by searching in the right places. Places like the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, New England Journal of Medicine, and other sites that go into detail of nutrition for better health. What if I told you there was one nutrient that costs pennies a day that could cut your cancer risks from between 50 and 77%. Interested? Why HIgh Fructose Corn Syrup is actually a toxin and should be avoided. Why Genetically Modified Foods may be causing the obesity epidemic here in the US. Why when you see something advertised on a package that promotes it’s health, you should probably avoid it. That's just some of the items I will explore. Also, I may throw in some recipe's, explore what is really in the food you eat, both good and bad, and repost some interesting articles from people who are smarter than me. Nutrition, a noun. The science, or the study of, or course of study in, nutrition, especially in humans. Through this page, maybe we all can find what Hippocrates found would be the safest way to health.
