At one time or another, our bodies just get out of sync, so we seek some kind of balancing help. Unfortunately, most turn to harsh invasive treatments in order to help our bodies heal. However, these cause undesirable side effects and bring us additional problems. The easiest way to prevent this is to determine the cause of your condition and look at your diet and make sure it has all the essential nutrients your body deserves to keep itself in complete health. Essential nutrients are those nutrients derived from food that the body is unable to manufacture on its own. These are absolutely necessary for human life and include eight amino acids, at least thirteen vitamins, fifteen minerals, plus certain fatty acids, water, and carbohydrates. text/html 2007-05-29T09:31:29+01:00 http://www.australiannaturopathy.com http://www.australiannaturopathy.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=109&Itemid=140 By Elena Voropay You've probably heard of not so infamous Mediterranean Diet. I bet the first things that come to mind are olive oil, garlic and wine. Is that all they eat? Of course not. But whatever the magic foods they choose, Mediterraneans live longer, have lower risk of developing heart disiese and cancer, and the word obesity is almost unknown in this area. In fact, many dietitians recommend this diet to anyone striving to lose a few pounds, improve blood cholesterol, or simply to become 'energized'. And the best part is that it feels next to intuitive, and you don't have to count calories or fat grams. text/html 2007-10-25T11:09:16+01:00 http://www.australiannaturopathy.com http://www.australiannaturopathy.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=164&Itemid=140 By Elena Voropay Back in high school chemistry, we learned about pH: acids have low numbers, alkalines have high numbers, a pH of 7.0 is neutral, and it all is related to the concentration of hydrogen ions present in a substance and pH refers to the power of Hydrogen. If it means absolutely nothing to you now and you can't find application of this information in terms of day-to-day life, you are missing out on a big chunk of knowledge. Human blood in the healthy state is slightly alkaline, with a normal pH level of between 7.35 and 7.45 at the cellular level, except for the digestive tract (excluding the mouth) and urinary tract - these are slightly acidic. The digestive tract needs acidity for breaking down foods, while the job of your urinary tract is to excrete the acidic by-products of metabolism and renovate the system with balanced alkaline foundation. text/html 2007-05-19T09:28:27+01:00 http://www.australiannaturopathy.com http://www.australiannaturopathy.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=90&Itemid=124 By Elena VoropayWe know the word 'pesticides' from association with crops and produce. In reality, they are widely used in many other areas. Take for example your local gym or neighbouring school ground. Pesticides (herbicedes, insecticides and fungicides) were developed to protect crops from insects, rodents and other pests, as well as to control weeds, mold, bacteria and disease. Most people consider these substances harmless, but the research has shown otherwise. text/html 2007-06-20T10:24:53+01:00 http://www.australiannaturopathy.com http://www.australiannaturopathy.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=118&Itemid=124 By Elena VoropayWhen you think about vehicle damage, what comes to mind? Probably crashed cars on the road. Indeed, hundreds of thousands of people die and millions get injured each year as the result of accidents on the road involving cars and other types of vehicles. But this is not the only negative effect of driving a car. Vehicles with petrol driven internal combustion engines produce dangerous waste products which are toxic to our health, animal life and the environment.
