Nutrition and Weight Loss

The importance of nutrition can be documented back to the days of Hippocrates (400BC), when the Father of Medicine said, “Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.” At The Noe Valley Clinic, we take a holistic, multi-faceted approach to nutrition. We believe good diet and nutrition habits can lead to an overall improvement in health. Healthful diets can reduce the risk for chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and osteoporosis.

Research on whole foods is difficult to conduct, but various studies have shown the efficacy of specific vitamins, supplements, and minerals. Healthful diets can help reduce the risk for chronic diseases, such as heart disease, certain cancers, diabetes, stroke, obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and osteoporosis.
