General Nutrition
What constitutes general nutrition?
General Nutrition
We might be prone to think of “nutrition” solely as the food we take into our bodies, but that is only half of the equation. Nutrition is also how our bodies breakdown and utilize everything we take in for every chemical reaction happening from second to second, informing our thoughts, moods, breath, focus, energy, sleep, and so much more.
In short, nutrition informs how we experience our day-to-day lives. And when issues arise that interfere with any of the above, it bears looking at how we can intervene using evidence-based dietary approaches to help. From those who are seeking to improve one or more areas of their life like sleep or energy, to those seeking to help manage or prevent medical issues like diabetes or heart disease, nutrition is the perhaps the most accessible intervention we have available to us.
