NUTRITION

Deficiencies can be caused by either poor quality food, inefficiencies of our digestive systems (digestion, absorption, utilisation and elimination of waste). Good nutrition is ensured with a balance of protein, carbohydrates, vegetables, fruit and good oils/fats, micro-nutrients (vitamins and minerals) and water in our diet.
