The majority of Americans are malnourished even
though the population is 66% overweight and 33% is considered to
be obese. The typical American diet consists of fast food, white
flour, sugar and poor nutrient intake contributing to the
malnourishment of individuals leading to heart disease, cancer,
diabetes, obesity and other illnesses readily occurring in
society today. According to the US Department of Agriculture
(USDA), poor eating habits are linked to more than half the
deaths in the United States. A major contributing factor to
disease comes from elevated insulin levels by consuming sugar
and refined carbohydrates. How does sugar and insulin affect the
body?

vulnerable to disease

nutritional support based upon an individual’s needs and
addressing the root cause of the problem:

nutrients
Overactive or underactive neurotransmitters such as serotonin,
dopamine or adrenaline
Congested or metabolic block of detoxification pathways not
eliminating toxins
Low anti-oxidants levels
Excess bacteria in the intestinal tract
Food allergies
Imbalance of fatty acids such as omega 3’s, omega 6’s and trans

Comprehensive Metabolic Profile available through Healthy
Solutions detects these deficiencies determining your unique

Eating nutritious foods enables the body to work with nature and
its ability to heal itself by aiding the healing process with
vital nutrients. Next time you sit down for a meal, ask
yourself, “Am I eating for health or for disease?”
