Nearly
half of the top 10 leading causes of death in the US - heart disease, diabetes,
cancer, and stroke – are directly related to what we ingest on a daily basis;
supporting the ideal that good nutrition is essential. We are composed of the food we ingest. Every cell in your body is a testimony to
your eating habits. Optimal nutrition
can prevent disease, strengthen your immune system, and even support your brain
functioning at an optimal level.
Inadequate nutrition has been linked to at least one third of all deaths
in the United States, due to the secondary disease states that it can
cause. That is correct- 33% of all
disease states are caused by poor nutritional intake. (Annals of Clinical
Nutrition )
This is why MindTech
Institute is dedicated to the education and implementation of a healthy eating
lifestyle. Each individual is evaluated
using a Body Index Analysis which provides information concerning basal metabolic rate, body composition, and
hydration levels. Blood tests are
available to evaluate vitamin and mineral status. For individuals at risk for
cardiovascular disease we offer testing
that evaluates high and low density lipids through Spectracell
anayalsis. A nutritional and exercise
program is established on individual patient needs and goals. If supplementation or pharmaceutical
therapies are necessary, these are also prescribed. Patient’s are expected to keep weekly journals that are supplied
to record dietary intake, stress levels, supplementation and exercise
information. Our nutritionist reviews
this information with each client, and correlates these and other additional
factors with the clients’ eating habits.
A complete body analysis, gives us the ability to put a lifestyle
program together that will allow our clients to master their body goals and
achieve an optimal level of health.
