What is nutritherapy and who is it for?

Unlike other therapeutic approaches, such as homeopathy or aromatherapy, nutritherapy is not an alternative or complementary medicine. A natural approach that has been used empirically for centuries, nutritherapy resurfaced in the USA in the middle of the ^20th century and has since enjoyed a boom. According to the principles of nutritherapy,diet has a direct effect on a person's state of health, and it is therefore possible to influence the body's functioning and the evolution of a disease by modifying diet and nutrient intake.

Etymologically formed from the words nutrition and therapy, nutritherapy positions itself as an interface between medicine and nutrition. In a nutshell, nutritherapy can be summed up in the following phrase: treating yourself by eating. Of course, the fundamentals of nutritherapy are more complex.

Nutritherapy is based on the use of the following elements for preventive or therapeutic purposes:

Foods ;
Food supplements;
Pharmacologically active substances present in foods;
Vitamins and minerals.

How can micronutrients influence health?

One of the key concepts in nutritherapy is the notion of nutrient. Nutrients are the various substances that the body needs to absorb in order to function properly. Specialists distinguish between two categories of nutrients:

Macronutrients provide essential energy for cells and are absorbed in large quantities. These nutrients are proteins, carbohydrates (simple and complex sugars) and lipids (fats).
Micronutrients include all nutrients required by the body in small quantities, such as vitamins and minerals.

Food is not just about nutrients. Foods generally contain several hundred substances that cannot always be assimilated as nutrients, such as pigments or polyphenols (substances with antioxidant properties).

Nutritherapy is concerned with the nature, quantity and quality of the nutrients a person absorbs on a daily basis.

How does nutritherapy affect overall health?

According to the principles of nutritherapy, diet plays a central role in health and disease prevention. By modifying nutritional intake and targeting specific deficiencies, it is possible to:

Improve vitality and physical or mental performance.
Slow down or prevent the progression of chronic diseases.
Optimize cellular repair and regeneration processes.

Etymologically, nutritherapy combines the notions of nutrition and therapy. It goes beyond the simplified idea of "treating yourself by eating", by taking an in-depth look at the nature, quality and quantity of nutrients consumed on a daily basis.

What are the roles of macro- and micronutrients?

There are two types of nutrients:

Macronutrients

Macronutrients are the main providers of energy and building materials for the body. They include

Proteins: Essential for tissue synthesis, enzymes and hormones.
Carbohydrates: Sources of rapid energy and glycogen reserves.
Lipids: Crucial for cell membranes, hormones and energy storage.

Micronutrients

Micronutrients, while necessary in small quantities, are just as essential to the body's proper functioning:

Vitamins: regulate metabolic processes (e.g. vitamin C for immunity, vitamin D for bone health).
Minerals and trace elements: Play a variety of roles, such as calcium for bone strength or iron for tissue oxygenation.

Why include bioactive substances in your cure?

In addition to traditional nutrients, nutritherapy also focuses on bioactive compounds found in foods, such as :

Polyphenols: antioxidant substances found in fruit, vegetables and tea, which protect cells against oxidative damage.
Essential fatty acids: Omega-3 and omega-6, essential for inflammation regulation and cardiovascular health.
Enzymes and coenzymes: such as coenzyme Q10, involved in cellular energy production.

Although not directly considered nutrients, these substances make a significant contribution to disease prevention and overall health.

When should personalized nutritherapy be used?

Nutritherapy is useful for a wide range of applications:

Optimizing nutritional intake

Nutritherapy helps to correct nutritional deficiencies and imbalances according to individual needs. For example

For stress: Magnesium and vitamin B6.
For energy: Amino acids, iron and vitamin C.
For joints: Chondroitin and natural silicon.

Disease prevention and support

By targeting the biochemical mechanisms of disease, nutritherapy provides invaluable support:

Diabetes: Controlling blood sugar levels with soluble fibers and chromium.
Cardiovascular health: Omega-3 and antioxidants to reduce the risk of inflammation and atherosclerosis.
Immunity: Vitamin D, zinc and selenium to boost natural defenses.

Performance enhancement

Athletes and people wishing to optimize their physical and cognitive performance can benefit from a targeted intake of proteins, creatine and B vitamins.
