Nutritional Medicine

Nutritional medicine stresses the importance of food to the well being of the body. It also pays attention to the effect the environment has on the quality of foods.

The National Cancer Institute in USA states that 60 percent of cancers in women and 40 percent of cancers in men appear to be related to diet.

Heart disease and stroke are two other major causes of preventable death in Singapore and their incidence can certainly be reduced with nutritional medicine.

Nutritional medicine uses food as well as individual nutrients for medicinal and therapeutic effects. More often than not, supplements have to be taken to achieve sufficiently high and consistent doses for these effects.

There are many reasons why you may need nutritional supplements:

Alcohol and smoking
Junk food and over-consumption of hawker fare
Antibiotics – kill friendly bacteria which produce vitamins and destroy toxins
Deficient soils – lead to crops deficient in many essential minerals
Illness – infections place high demands on our bodies
Ageing
Food storage, overcooking, freezing, microwaving and so on.
