Health and Nutrition Go Hand In Hand

It all starts with what you consume. We try to lead by example at Health to Heart and we practice what we preach about health and nutrition.
In fact, everything we discuss about health and nutrition, we do ourselves. We keep up with the best health trends so we can report to you. We try lots of health products and bring to you the very BEST!

For Seriously Healthy People Only

We have relationships with people who really think out of the box (by today's standards) on the subject of health and nutrition. Our goal is to help you recognize a potential solution to your own health and nutritional needs.
Through our own health stories of success, the real theme involves NEVER giving up, always keeping an open mind about the kind of health care is readily available no matter HOW WHACKY it seems.

One thing is certain, it's highly unlikely you'll ever find that one doctor, scientist or person who can fix every health concern you have. The cures to our health problems have been achieved by brainstorming with all kinds of people (MDs, NDs, Research Scientist, Nutrionist, Universities, Dieticians, Friends, Neighbors and even Supermarket Employees).

Nutrition For Health and Development

 

Nutrition is an input to and foundation for health and development. Interaction of infection and malnutrition is well-documented. Better nutrition means stronger immune systems, less illness and better health. Healthy children learn better. Healthy people are stronger, are more productive and more able to create opportunities to gradually break the cycles of both poverty and hunger in a sustainable way. Better nutrition is a prime entry point to ending poverty and a milestone to achieving better quality of life.

Freedom from hunger and malnutrition is a basic human right and their alleviation is a fundamental prerequisite for human and national development.
WHO has traditionally focused on the vast magnitude of the many forms of nutritional deficiency, along with their associated mortality and morbidity in infants, young children and mothers. However, the world is also seeing a dramatic increase in other forms of malnutrition characterized by obesity and the long-term implications of unbalanced dietary and lifestyle practices that result in chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes.
All forms of malnutrition's broad spectrum are associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and economic costs, particularly in countries where both under- and overnutrition co-exist as is the case in developing countries undergoing rapid transition in nutrition and life-style.

Welcome To Health & Nutrition

Researchers have observed that the prevalence of mental health disorders has increased in developed countries in correlation with the deterioration of the Western diet . Previous research has shown nutritional deficiencies that correlate with some mental disorders. The most common nutritional deficiencies seen in mental disorder patients are of omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that are precursors to neurotransmitters. Compelling population studies link high fish consumption to a low incidence of mental disorders; this lower incidence rate has proven to be a direct result of omega-3 fatty acid intake. One to two grams of omega-3 fatty acids taken daily is the generally accepted dose for healthy individuals, but for patients with mental disorders, up to 9.6 g has been shown to be safe and efficacious. Western diets are usually also lacking in fruits and vegetables, which further contributes to vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
