Staying Healthy with Nutritional Counselling
With many people seeking alternatives to traditional medicine, the subject of nutrition will inevitably come up. Most people think that simply “eating healthy” is enough to ensure a good nutritional balance, and this can sometimes be the case.
However, not everyone is the same. Some people may be more prone to deficiencies of certain nutritional elements than others, so simply having some vegetables with every meal may not be enough.

There is a whole slew of physical problems that can originate from deficiency in various vitamins and minerals. Poor healing, organ failure and fatigue just to name a few. And if one’s physical problem is due to improper nutrition, how is one to know?
This is where nutritional counselling comes in. Someone trained in nutrition can asses what problems a person is having, and examine their usual diet. From this it can be determined what vitamins (or other substances) the patient is lacking, and from there the situation can be remedied.
Many people think of dieting when they think of nutritional therapy, but this is missing the larger picture. Yes, dieting and weight loss can be assisted with the proper nutrition and weight loss can be a valid goal for anyone seeking nutritional counseling.
But with so many other health issues that can be traced back to a lack of proper nutrition and resolved with the proper supplements and diet, nutrition should be given a higher priority.
There are many chiropractors who also study nutrition to better help their patients resolve their health issues. In fact, if a patient’s nutrition is poor, unwanted conditions may persist even with other forms of treatment.
The ability to help patients become and stay healthy only comes about from a full understanding of the mechanics at play in the human body, and nutrition plays a big part in the well being of everyone.
