Service Description

Important to achieving good health and longevity is a balanced diet. Vegan and vegetarian diets can be beneficial for health, but may also result in nutrient deficiencies. There are plenty of plant nutrient sources such as lentils, beans, chickpeas, nuts, seeds, soy products, and whole grains. But during our rushed daily lifestyles, finding specialty foods and preparing them to create that healthy balanced diet can be a challenge. Healthy vegan and vegetarian diets can efficiently be achieved with our infusion therapy. This therapy can include: • Vitamin B12: This vitamin is created by a bacteria and found primarily in animal products such as dairy, meats, and eggs that are not part of vegan and vegetarian diets. • Vitamin D and Calcium: These are essential in maintaining good bone health. Sun exposure is necessary for our body to create a usable form of Vitamin D. However, for good skin health we often try to limit our time in direct sun and in northern winter climates we naturally have less sun exposure. This infusion provides the Vitamin D and Calcium that your body needs. • Omega-3 fatty acids: These essential fatty acids are very important to maintain good heart health. Fish and eggs are rich sources that are absent from the vegan and vegetarian diet. • Zinc: Phytic acid can be a problem in vegan and vegetarian diets. Found in many beans, legumes, and whole grains, an excess abundance of phytic acid can hinder zinc absorption. Special food preparations such as soaking, sprouting and fermentation are recommended to reduce this problem, but these are time consuming and worse they may reduce other valuable nutrients. • Iron: A diet rich in whole plant foods can provide enough iron. However, your lifestyle or digestive sensitivity may mean that you don’t eat enough leafy green vegetables, whole grains, lentils, peas, and dried fruits. • Vitamin C: Vitamin C helps iron absorption and is beneficial as a powerful anti-oxidant.
