How to Lose Weight through Healthy Nutrition
With obesity rates on the rise in America, efforts to find solutions to the resulting health problems caused from being overweight has driven many Americans to seek the advice of dietitians and nutritionists. While large pharmaceutical companies have increasingly overtaken the health industry, pushing their genetically engineered drugs to the traditional medical community, the approach of alternative medicine is to deal with the rising health crisis holistically, rather than focus on the mere management of symptoms.
Through the use of nutritional supplements and diet regulations, holistic practitioners seek to address the root causes of disease in the human body; thus restoring the nutritional balance needed for the body to be able to heal itself. The natural healing plant remedies utilized in these supplements and diet plans presented on our website are often patterned after the nutritional knowledge practiced in ancient Chinese medicine and Native American traditional healing methods. As such, the statements made by the manufacturers of these alternative supplements and diet plans discussed on our website have not been evaluated by the FDA and should not be taken as expert medical advice. If you have a serious illness, or have questions about your health or your medical history, we strongly suggest that you seek the medical advice of a licensed practitioner before following any of the ideas presented on our website or taking any of the supplements discussed on our website.
