Noakes and Holford on Beating Disease with Nutrition
Local sustainable living activist and Television Presenter, Kerry Dell, interviews two mighty nutritionists from two very different perspectives, discussing how to beat disease with nutrition.
Director of Your Earth Solutions and a feisty WARRIOR FOR THE PLANET,has LAUNCHED HER OWN TV SHOW – EARTHBEAT – ON CHANNEL 190 (Tuesdays at 21.30 .) Her guests on last week’s show were well known health professionals Tim Noakes and Patrick Holford. The show was so popular with viewers that there will be a repeat on Channel 190 on Tuesday 17 at 21.30 , on Wednesday 18th at 3.30 and 9.30 a.m. and 15.30 and again on Saturday 21 at 11.30 and 22.30.
Both Noakes and Holford maintain that the health problems that we are facing today began when we started domesticating grains and using artificial fertilizers. “We have to look at what our ancestors were eating thousands of years ago, and go this route.” Said Noakes. He also stressed that the future of medicine lies in social media. “Patients have decided how they want to be treated – they are doing their own research and making decisions on their health. The medical industry does not understand nutrition. To prevent the Tsunami of Alzheimers and Diabetes that is taking place right now, this has got to change ” He said.
Holford’s message was loud and clear “You are in charge of your health. If you follow the herd you will develop a disease – and the statistics are awful, with one in three people developing cancer. It all depends on what you put in your mouth, the level of exercise you do and the amount of stress that you’re under – as to whether or not you will fall into the chronic or dread disease category.” He pointed out.
