This week is nutrition and hydration week (14th – 20th March 2016). The aim of the week is to reinforce the benefits of energy, activity and the engagement on nutrition and hydration, for the improvement of a healthy lifestyle.

Every year the majority of the body’s cells have been replaced with new cells made up of the molecules that are found in your food and drink. Therefore it makes sense to eat and drink healthy enzymes and nutrients. We all know it is important to have the correct diet, but there are different benefits from different foods.
So what foods should we eat?
That depends on what you are aiming to achieve. For example inflammation is a common component of many health conditions so an anti-inflammatory diet containing raw vegetables and fruits is believed to be more helpful.
We are told that it is healthy to consume fruit and vegetables but are we doing it the correct way?
It is more beneficial to eat foods the way that nature provides them. If you choose to eat meat then it should be lean. It is believed that fried or cooked fats that come from animals are a strong course of inflammatory for the body. It is best to offset the oxidative stress caused by these foods by eating raw fruits and vegetables. Jade and Andy at NewMed love to spiralize their vegetables to add texture, and fun to their meals!
Supplements
A lot of today’s foods do not contain sufficient amounts of nutrition to allow our bodies to function at the correct levels. It is believed that a good multi-vitamin intake is important. It will help with common diet deficiencies. However it is recommended that most people take a foundation of supplements to support the body’s general health.
What is Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy?
PEMF therapy can be used to help with just about any condition or problem. This is because magnetic fields treat the body’s cells, which safely promotes repair in muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, and bone tissues, and is therefore effective for everything from wound repair to helping you to get to sleep and everything in between.
By introducing PEMF into the body you will regenerate the energy to the cells and give the body a healthy electromagnetic charge. This is why PEMF is so valuable. By using this therapy you are able to stimulate all levels of the body. When PEMF is applied it will fully penetrate the body, this will lead to the cells being individually treated and therefore tissues, organs, and the body’s systems will start to function at their full potential.
Why is it important to have Nutrition and Hydration with PEMF?
While magnetic therapies reduce the problems associated with many health conditions they will work better with a more comprehensive approach of the intake of the appropriate nutrition and supplements. Although magnetic field therapies can create a healthy environment for new cells to be generated into, they cannot do all the work without the right nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle.
You should drink plenty of water when using magnetic therapies because the energy will transfer more easily in a body if it is well-hydrated. The magnetic signal will be best in a body with adequate hydration levels.
When using magnetic field therapies it is important to maintain the proper levels of magnesium in the body. Magnetic therapies cause motion in the body by way of calcium ion movement. Magnesium is what calcium attaches to as it moves around the cell so a magnesium deficiency may undermine the value of the magnetic field treatment.
Our next blog post will be about magnesium.
