Modern lifestyle and eating habits mean that frequent amounts of common allergens are included in the diet. This can impair the digestion and irritate the gut lining leading to a range of food intolerances. There are many common symptoms of food sensitivity and they can be related to arthritis, weight gain, pre menstrual tension, depression, irritable bowel syndrome, to name but a few. It is important to identify and remove food intolerances so as to enhance metabolism, remove toxins, reduce inflammation, balance hormones and improve digestion and absorption. Stress, a deficiency of vitamins and minerals and an imbalance of intestinal microflora can also add to this toxic overload, giving rise to allergic symptoms. This is why Nutriconnect specializes in a personal diet and allergy-testing programme.
I discovered the truth of “you are what you eat” 14 years ago when my son was diagnosed as profoundly dyslexic and was having a very difficult time at school. Having tried several alternative therapies, I discovered it was changing his diet that had a very dramatic and positive effect. His teacher actually remarked “its like a miracle” and indeed the change was amazing. I eliminated only three foods from his diet and added and increased the correct foods together with supplementation. My son went from strength to strength surprising his teachers and the education psychologist. His writing and reading greatly improved and he was for the first time focused with excellent concentration. On leaving his first school he came top in the end of year exams and won overall 5 prizes. He is now at university reading Computer Science and over the years I have helped many pupils from his old school that have been recommended by parents and teachers. For my son and me this really was “a change for the better and indeed a change for life!”
