Diet is vital for optimal health and should not be viewed as a way to loose weight. We know that diet plays a huge part in chronic disease and illness. We live in a fairly hostile environment for food and nutrition, we have access to lots of calories in the wrong form!
A good balanced diet needs to reduce the risk of illness and obesity, contribute to healing of the body, particularly in skin disease and disorders. Generally people’s knowledge in the Uk is poor on what constitutes a good diet.
One of the best diets however is the Mediterranean diet, low gi! high fibre! low saturated fat! low sugar! high omega and monounsaturated fat! low salt! rich in antioxidants!
