Dominica Health and Wellness Association Member, Natalie “Sister Nats” Charles, touts a study that shows there is a component of food that conventional nutrition has not considered. She pointed out that a new class of nutrients called fight-o nutrients was identified to be present in food during a study. She says that in contrast to the typical vitamins that nourish, these nutrients serve the role of repairing the body. She emphasized that when a patient is diagnosed with cancer, doctors often ask them to adopt very rigid dietary changes. Most of the time, this means increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables you eat, because the majority of the foods we consume, like white flour, are primary causes of disease, since an acidic body serve as an ideal habitat for a disease. She says disease as a whole is opportunistic, and our health education system needs to address this. She added that being alkaline has emerged as a key weapon in the fight against any disease, and that being acidic makes you vulnerable to all ailments. She noted that they have prepared information on foods that can help with building alkalinity. Dominica Health and Wellness Association Member, Natalie “Sister Nats” Charles
