Frequently
Asked Questions
The following FAQs can help you learn more about Nutrition. If you have any additional queries, please contact us.
If you eat a healthy, balanced diet this should cover all your vitamin and mineral needs. A supplement only provides a large amount of a single vitamin or mineral. These high doses do not work as effectively as eating the vitamin or mineral from foods. Supplements may be recommended in specific cases. If you think you need supplements kindly visit and consult us.
Most of the sodium in our diet is from eating salt (sodium chloride) in processed foods. Too much salt can make your blood pressure higher, which can increase your risk for heart disease, stroke and kidney disease.
In most cases the cure is to avoid the offending food or, in the case of certain food chemicals, to reduce the amount of foods eaten that are high in the chemical. There is no drug treatment available that will cure food intolerance.
An allergy causes a very specific immunological reaction in the body that can be observed and can be diagnosed by doctors using various tests.
Food intolerance does not cause this type of reaction and cannot be tested for in the same way.
One of the big differences between food allergy and food intolerance is that allergic reactions can lead to an anaphylactic reaction and these reactions, if not treated speedily, can lead to death. Whilst a food intolerance is unlikely to cause an anaphylactic reaction it can cause extreme reactions that lead to physical and mental health problems and greatly impair the quality of life.
