Nutrition
The human cell is the fundamental unit of life. We have trillions of them that make up our tissues, organs and muscles that ultimately form our body. The human cell must receive nutrients and oxygen to perform its function and maintain its structure or it dies. That is so important it bears repeating, your cells must receive nutrients and oxygen to perform its function and maintain its structure or you die.
This includes your brain cells for your ability to think, your nerve and muscle cells for your ability to move, your immune cells for the ability to defend yourself against disease and so on and so forth.
The cell membrane must also remain fluid, intact and free from damage. Additionally, the environment in and around the cell must remain “clean” in order to properly transport nutrients in and waste out.
If we can manage this and protect our cells from damage, our likelihood of achieving health and staying well is greatly improved. To me this is what preventive health and wellness is all about. So, here is what I look for when assessing a client:
- 1. Are the cells receiving nutrients?
- 2. Are the cells healthy structurally and functionally?
- 3. Is the body eliminating waste in a timely manner?
Unfortunately, when a client has contacted me, it is because he or she is not feeling well or has been diagnosed with a condition. I immediately know there is an imbalance in this process of nutrients in/waste out and I begin identifying where it is and we work to correct the imbalance.
How do I Feed the Cell?
What you eat matters. The first step in feeding your cells is your diet – what are you eating and drinking on a daily basis? The second step is how well is your body digesting, absorbing and utilizing the nutrients? At True Lifelong Wellness we will help you identify and select the foods most appropriate for you to begin healing yourself. And we will assess how well your digestive system is functioning and provide support with digestive enzymes and probiotics where needed.
