 Nutrition or the lack of it in today's society is the reason why most of us suffer with disease. Most natural foods are medicine to the body in the form of  nutrients that are missing and being replaced by a natural foods that contains the missing nutrition the body needs to heal itself.

                                              

 Nutrition and its association with health is paradoxical - both over and under nutrition can lead to ill health. In affluent Western countries people suffer from illnesses due to over nutrition. Those who eat more than their caloric requirement suffer from obesity. Obesity is not only a cosmetic problem but it indirectly raises blood pressure, blood sugar and predisposes to backaches and arthritis. A diet too rich in fats leads to increased cholesterol in the blood leading to heart attacks and strokes. Too much salt in the diet either directly or through preservatives leads to high blood pressure with its numerous medical complications such as stroke and heart attacks. In contrast, people in developing countries suffer from malnutrition. Although famine and starvation deaths are now rare it is still not uncommon for people to get a diet with poor proportion of proteins, vitamins and minerals. A striking example is the endemic iodine deficiency in the mother leading to severe mental retardation in the new born infant. This condition called cretinism affects millions of children around the world. It is completely preventable by supplementing common table salt with iodine. Improper nutrition also leads to reduced immunity leading to frequent infections such a diarrhea and dysentery which accounts for very high infant mortality in developing countries.

Carbohydrates, protein and fats constitute the  basic structure of a healthy eating lifestyle supported by vitamins and minerals . Nutrion can come in many forms of natural foods.  GoChi a functioal drink made from Goji Berries has been found to contain a multitute of nutrients made from the goji berries of the famous Himalayan Mountians are considered a natural health supplement.

Carbohydrate constitute the base of a healthy eating plan and provide the body energy at a slower ,and steadier rate . Carbohydrates consumed may be in form of simple or complex state .  All carbohydrates taken in by the body first have to be digested and converted into a type of sugar that the body can use . Women you have diets rich in  carbohydrates accompanied with fiber are much less likely to suffer from variety of problems , including constipation, diabetes, mood swings and infertility .

Protein is needed by the body to build strong muscles , repair tissues and maintain an effective immune and hormonal system . Proteins in the diet are broken down by digestive enzymes and absorbed into the blood as amino-acids , often called the building blocks of protein .Under, WF nutritional program you will learn  as to the amount of protein that is required by your body to fulfill its goal .  Excess of protein in diet may be used for energy or stored as fat . 1 gram of protein provides 4 calories .

Fat provides our body a very concentrated source of energy . Women with very low body fat  levels , such as anorexics or serious athletes , can have problem keeping warm . Fat is required by the body to prevent excessive loss of body heat . Fat is also needed to carry the sex hormones , estrogen and progesterone around the body .Too much of body fat can cause you to develop high blood pressure and heat disease , and aggravate joint problems such as osteoarthritis . Some fat is essential in every women’s diet . Foods that contain fats not only provide energy but also contain the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K , which are vital in the development and maintenance of a healthy body and mind . There are different kinds of fat -saturated and unsaturated . You will be informed about their sources, role in diet and hazard or benefits once you become a WF member .

Water is an essential component of good health as it is needed to keep the body flushed of waste products ,to keep the skin ,hair and the body organs healthy , to produce digestive enzymes and to enable the body to glean all the beneficial nutrients from the foods and drinks we consume . Most women should try to drink two to three liters of water every day . Besides women who regularly exercise need to pay a special attention to water consumption .

Vitamins and Minerals play an important role in a women’s diet  providing her with all the nutrients essential for repair and maintenance . Vitamins play a key role in energy production , growth , maintenance and repair . They are only needed in small amounts , but must be obtained from diet as the body cannot manufacture them . There are 13 vitamins needed by humans , of which 4 are fat soluble vitamins and 9 are water soluble .
