While lots of people will be seeking to reassess their diet and lifestyle as part of their New Year resolutions, it can be difficult to know where to start.
A tailor made plan, designed specifically with your health goals in mind, can be a great way to get on the right track and stay there.
One option for such a service is the Raw Food Coach Holistic Clinic, Dublin Road, Galway.
The clinic offers a full MOT on each client’s diet and nutrition needs.
The team use a highly recognised laboratory test to find out whether or not your body is deficient in certain nutrients; which foods your body is not digesting correctly; and which foods could be causing intolerances and fatigue.
Nutritional deficiencies
A poor diet that lacks essential nutrients generally causes nutritional deficiencies.
The body stores nutrients. Therefore, a deficiency is usually detected after a prolonged lack of nutrients.
The symptoms of a nutritional deficiency depend on which nutrient the body lacks. However, deficiencies can cause general symptoms such as pallor (pale skin ), fatigue, weakness, trouble breathing, unusual food cravings, hair loss, periods of light headedness, constipation, sleepiness, heart palpitations, feeling faint or fainting, depression, and poor concentration.
Testing
The food intolerance and nutrition test at the Raw Food Coach Holistic Clinic, which usually costs €295, is now available for €150.
The test includes: food intolerance testing of 300 food items; non-food intolerance testing of 300 non-food items, such as animals, plants, trees, and chemicals; a full meal plan with breakfast, lunch, and dinner options; nutrition advice with follow-up support; and the option to add weekly weigh-ins to the programme (at an additional cost ).
