Nutritional Therapy
Nutritional Therapy is the art of providing the body with the right molecule (orthomolecule) at the right time (chronobiology). By feeding yourself and your digestive microbiome 2 to 3 times a day, we can prevent and stop metabolic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, arthritis, depression...all of which are widespread in western countries. Nutritional Therapy helps you retreive your balance (homeostasis) by avoiding certain toxics and allergens, by applying intermittent fasting, detoxification, by integrating targeted nutrients, multivitamins and multimineralized preparations containing essential fatty acids, enzymes, soluble and insoluble fibers...
We neglect many things regarding our health. In addition to any aknowledged diseases,the following is a partial list of symptoms caused by micro-deficiencies linked to certain organs...

Some good habits to adopt ...
​
-
Eating local, organic and if possible "farm
to table" food helps to preserve the vitamins
and minerals in food
as much as possible.
Dead soil leads to a depletion of nutrients
in the food we eat.
Eating dead food
makes you tired and
depressed.
​​
-
Eating unprocessed food. Food available
to us is polluted,
refined, too sweet,
too salty, full of poor quality fats,
preservatives,
dyes...nutritionally
destroyed by
increasingly aggressive cooking...
Why? Because that kind of food is cheap and meant for long
consumption due to its
"synthetical freshness"
quality. The result
is empty calories with
low nutritional value.
In fact, the Westerners suffer from malnutrition
followed by overeating.

Learning how to make the right food combinations will help you absorb all the nutrients in the food you eat.

Sprouting seeds. Researchers found a significant increase in antioxidant activity on days 2-5 of germination. During this period, a sprout synthesizes an enormous amount of antioxidant-vitamins, in particular vitamins B, C, D ... For example,
in certain varieties of beans, the level of vitamin C increases
six hundred times, the vitamin E in sprouted wheat, a dozen times. The content of
carotenoids and
bioflavonoids also
increases significantly.

Cutting and chopping onions and garlic releases alliinase, an enzyme that helps form a nutrient called allicin. However, it is destroyed if cooked for even one minute but when consumed raw it helps to form other compounds that can protect you from getting ill.

Soaking your grains and beans reduces phytic acid, which potentially blocks the absorption of iron, zinc, calcium and magnesium.
