Nutrition Q & A

The Ash Center for Comprehensive Medicine

Why is nutrition so important?

Food provides the carbs, protein, essential fats, vitamins, and minerals that are imperative for your physical and emotional health. Every system operating in your body relies on the nutrients you ingest in order to function normally.

It takes a wide variety of foods to sustain these systems, and leaving one group out in favor of another can offset the balance and cause serious medical issues such as heart disease, digestive issues, and some cancers. Following a healthy, balanced diet can increase your energy, improve your mood, and prevent debilitating medical conditions from interfering with your health.

Does nutrition really affect my mood?

Many studies have shown how specific foods can affect depression, irritability, emotional eating, and behavior. A diet that eliminates or at least restricts overly processed foods in favor of fresh produce and healthful fats alleviates depression, decreases irritability, and improves your emotional outlook. Research has also shown that taking supplements such as omega-3 fatty acids, folic acid, and B vitamins can play a role in regulating mood.

Should I take supplements?

The personalized nutritional guidance offered at The Ash Center often includes adding supplements to resolve nutritional deficiencies at the cellular level. They’ve created a product line called Pure Essentials that are therapeutic-grade, ethically-sourced solutions for managing stress, promoting digestive health and respiratory clarity, and reversing overall toxicity in your body.
