Integrative Nutrition

What is Integrative Nutrition?

Integrative nutrition is very promising when it comes to efficient nutrition.
Integrative, as the name suggests, contains the verb integrar, which means to integrate the parts, to consider a person as a whole, body-mind-soul.
In this way we treat the patient as a whole and not just the disease or symptoms. We respect the bio-individuality of each being.
We believe that a symptom is just an imbalance, a wake-up call that the body sends out. If these symptoms are not corrected, they will increase and probably lead the individual to develop more serious chronic illnesses sooner or later.
Integrative nutrition provides the necessary tools for individuals to live in full balance and utilise their own awareness of empowerment and self-care.
In integrative nutrition we demystify the focus on diet, we work with ancient medicines which makes it possible to work with the patient as a whole, respecting their balance.
What is important to emphasise in integrative nutrition is that in addition to seeing the patient as a whole, we take into account not only their secondary diet (the food they eat every day) but also their primary diet.

What is primary nutrition?

Primary nourishment encompasses everything that nourishes us but isn't on the plate, our relationships, our career, physical activity, time for ourselves, our finances, our environment, our spiritual awareness, all of which are essential for nourishing our mind, which will feed our emotions, which in turn will influence our feelings and everyday life.
When this primary nutrition is in balance, secondary nutrition even becomes secondary simply to feed a physical body with cells and bacteria.

What is secondary nutrition?

A alimentação secundária engloba os alimentos que colocamos no nosso prato e depois na nossa boca.
Due to the age of industrialisation and today's busy lives, most people tend to eat more processed, packaged food that is quick to make or ready-made.

Obesity.
To live a healthy life with the best possible longevity, it is therefore advisable to lead a balanced lifestyle, renouncing the primary and secondary toxicities that surround us.
Integrative nutrition can be used as a tool for disease prevention, and a person can seek counselling to achieve a better quality of life even if they are healthy.
