The number of people suffering from food intolerances has rocketed in the last 20 years. Alison Manos, local kinesiologist and natural healthcare specialist, explores why…
Do you ever suffer from:
Food intolerance could be your problem!
In the Western World we rely heavily on foods which the human body was not built to digest. For example, foods such as milk from cows (meant for calves), highly farmed grains and highly refined sugar (both of which have had all the goodness refined out of them) are all consumed in large quantities today, so it's not surprising, perhaps, that the body cries out in protest and produces symptoms of illness and lack of well being.
Wheat is a staple food and is consumed freely in the form of bread, cakes, biscuits, pizzas, pies, pasta etc. Yet it has only been that way for about 2000 years since men and women started experimenting with agriculture. For the thousands of years that we were on earth before agriculture was developed, we lived naturally on fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, which to this day is the diet which suits us best.
Recent research revealed that 71% of the general population suffer from a food intolerance. Judging from the clients who consult me in my practice I would put the figure much higher. Healthy eating is only "healthy" if you're not intolerant to any of your food. Some symptoms may become apparent within minutes, and other symptoms may not begin for many hours after exposure to the offending substance. Because they are so slow to arise, it can be difficult to associate the symptoms with exposure to a particular food. The only way to find out exactly what your body is absorbing well and what it's struggling to absorb is through accurate screening tecniques. Your body is biochemically different to everybody else's - you're unique and what works for one person can be a disaster for another. So identifying food intolerances which are individual to you can be extremely helpful. In fact it could change your life.
In my practice I use kinesiology, which uses non-invasive manual muscle testing, to identify food intolerances. It is a very quick, efficient and accurate method. You'd be amazed how strong muscles become weak when a food the client is intolerant to is placed on the body.
Eating the wrong diet for your particular body biochemistry can lead to physical and mental problems, affect your appearance, alter your behaviour and limit your life. So take control of your life, find out whether your diet is doing you more harm than good, start to live again and beat that food intolerance!
