This paradigm part which orthomolecular nutrition, cells which provides adequate nutrients so that they work as well as possible. She suggests that it is possible to enhance, maintain or regain health from a biochemical point of view, working at the cellular level, and be responsible for rebalance the biochemistry of the organism through feeding and specific natural nutrients (vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and amino acids). Its purpose is to get the Agency start up his own system of healing or an improvement of health and therefore optimise the quality of life, then when we talk about nutrition orthomolecular we are referring to optimum nutrition. The cells of our body and their biochemical structure, have by nature the ability to autorregenerarse themselves and correct the defective production of proteins, provided a proper supply of raw materials, through a healthy and nutritious diet aid with an extra supply of nutrients by nutritional supplements and functional foods, which together provide us with essential nutrients as non-essential with proven functional activity is restored. Why is another very important aspect of orthomolecular nutrition, part of the healthy and nutritious food, the use of supplements and nutritional supplements, mainly based on vitamins, minerals, amino acids and essential fatty acids. This point is very controversial, since there are people who think that a balanced diet you don’t have to take nutritional supplements, nutrition for Orthomolecular this is not enough if we want optimal for our organism. However, for this nutritional supplements may never replace a healthy diet. We must remember that the synergy of nutrients from each of the food eat, their enzymes, colour, shape, texture, and energy natural, which can not be imitated in any laboratory.
And faced with this circumstance, is it advisable to prioritize ecological or organic, foods that contribute an amount outstanding of nutrients compared with their peers who are impoverished in nutrients, and as well as of functional foods that contain different active ingredients also called phytochemicals or phytonutrients, that although they are not currently considered essential is proven to provide health benefits. Orthomolecular nutrition basic philosophy is to treat the person and not the disease and therefore, their treatments are always custom, she first and foremost respects biochemical individuality of the person. This aspect is very important, because each person is born with a particular biochemistry, which may predispose to the development of certain diseases or symptoms. This is why that not everyone benefits from the recommended typical diet based on salads, fruit and fresh water; Some people, on the other hand, feel better eating food cooked and drinking hot liquids. Human nature as the biochemistry of each person is so complex and individual, that no one is equal and the therapy and the answers will always be different in each individual.
