Throughout the ages, humans have wondered about the connection between nutrition, human health and performance. A research programme in scientific nutrition confirms that health and well-being depend on eating a diet that provides all the vital chemical nutrients to maintain biochemical harmony in the body. Every disease, symptom, discharge and pain indicates a chemical imbalance in the body. The realities of nutrition are based on the type and amount of nutrients in each food that are needed to carry out the chemical reactions necessary to sustain a healthy life.
