The Link Between Good Food and Good Health

There is a reason why disease in the U.S. rises every year. If you put diesel into a gasoline car, it won’t go very far before it breaks down. The human body is no different, in that if you continually put the wrong food rather than the correct food into your body, it will break down. Unfortunately, most people do not know the harm nutrition deficiencies do to themselves and their children.

Once the body starts to break down, you now have a mountain to climb to try to get over the top to the other side of health. That is why Dr. Derek Rodger (ND) teaches preventative medicine, which is both cheaper and more enjoyable than trying to cure an existing disease.

His practice is called Second Opinion Non Drug Health Solutions because most people come to see him after years of taking pharmaceutical drugs and not feeling better. Dr. Rodger is a naturopathic doctor, who believes as Hippocrates proclaimed, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine thy food.” He spends a lot of his time lecturing on the benefits of eating quality nutrition for a healthier life and also teaches a course to help people get the highly respected Certified Nutritional Consultant (CNC) qualification. His practice is based out of Flemington, NJ.
