Everyday foods have negative health influences for some people
We are often told to cut down on “unhealthy” foods. Foods high in sugar, fat, salt etc. The information received from profile users shows that many everyday foods have negative impacts on health, weight, mood, skin and overall wellbeing. These negative foods are different depending on an individual’s health profile. At the top of the list of these potentially negative foods are:
- Sugar based snacks
- Stimulants (Tea and Coffee)
- Added salt
- Refined foods
- Wheat
- Dairy
- Red Meat
The profile shows that at different times for different people some of these foods are best reduced or eliminated completely to feel really well or to help lose weight. The profile helps people make the right choices for them. No more guesswork about what works for you.
Underlying Health Factors
Symptoms can often be caused by different things. A skin condition, for example, may be due to inadequate nutrition, an allergic response, poor digestion, an overworked liver or a combination of these. The profile works out the health factors that an individual needs to focus on based on their profile.
