Nutrition is the good we
get from all the food we eat and it helps
our bodies work. Food is made up of
different types of nutrients that
contribute to our food being
nutritious! These nutrients include
carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins,
minerals and
water.
If our bodies fail to get
all the nutrients they need this is
called malnutrition. If a person
suffers from malnutrition they can be
more likely to catch diseases and it can
effect the functions of their body such
as brain, eyesight, organs, height,
weight, as well as the formation of body
parts.
Herbs are
the highest quality food known to man
containing vitamins, minerals and trace
elements in natural balance and
harmony.
Herbalism is today a
sophisticated system of natural medicine
using plant extracts and herbs to help
treat physical and mental
disorders.
Unlike conventional medicine, herbalists use
the 'whole' herb or plant rather than isolating
and breaking down chemical compounds and then
synthesising it. This is because the plant,
being a part of Nature, is said to represent
perfect balance; healing requires the natural
combination of elements in the plant or herb,
not just a single chemical within
it.
