The Journey to OPTIMISE starts with Nutrition. For it is Nutrition that will provide the raw materials to build the essential and solid foundations of both MIND and BODY for the SPIRIT. With inadequate Nutrition, disharmony, dis-ease and then actual disease, is sure to follow. There are two components for optimised Nutrition: Firstly the optimisation of essential nutrients; Secondly, the minimisation of toxins.

The challenge we face to OPTIMISE Nutrition with Diet is that our foods have become low in nutritional value, and are getting lower (see News Article: "Why are there fewer Nutrients in our food?").  Additionally processed foods are naturally very low in essential nutrients, but full of the not-so-obvious toxins that most people are unaware of, (processed carbs, seed oils processed sugars, flavour enhancers, colours and preservatives). Processed foods are typically promoted as food, but only really masquerade as food. If simple organisms that exist to breakdown food matter won't eat it - what does that tell you?  Perhaps we should follow their example.

To overcome the nutritional deficiencies in our food supply, and the nutritional deficiencies and insufficiencies we have lived with for decades that the body needs surplus nutrition for, we must supplement with all the essential vitamins and minerals.  And this is critical - supplementation must be OPTIMISED - that is dosages and frequencies that will provide the body with all it needs, not only maintain itself, but to repair itself from decades of damage. Additionally, to combat toxins, powerful antioxidants (Ascorbic Acid) and detoxifiers (Niacin B3) are essential.  Of course these two vitamins also perform many other essential-for-life roles as well.
