What is Orthomolecular and Micronutrition?
The term Orthomolecular or Active Cellular Nutrition was coined in 1968 by Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling.
It is known that some nutrients are indispensable for life, such as vitamins, minerals and trace elements, amino acids and essential fatty acids.
This discipline is therefore based on supplying the organism with the necessary macronutrients and micronutrients that have not been provided by daily nutrition. Giving importance to their origin, processing and packaging, as well as to the personal requirements and constitution of each person when recommending them, so that they provide the maximum benefit.
Of course, a correct cellular nutrition, must help to correct the disorders, imbalances and deficiencies that are manifested, besides helping to improve and to maintain a good state of health; but in no case it must substitute a nutritious, varied and complete feeding.
¿Qué diferencia hay entre los conceptos integrativo y holístico cuando nos referimos a la medicina?
El concepto de medicina integrativa hace referencia al hecho que se integran los conocimientos de la medicina convencional con los de la medicina biológica, naturista o complementaria.
El concepto de medicina holística hace referencia al hecho que se tiene en cuenta la totalidad del ser (la dimensión física, psicosocial y emocional de la persona) y que se percibe el organismo como un todo. La medicina holística entiende que el organismo funciona en conjunto, sus partes no funcionan de manera aislada y, por lo tanto, se afectarán las unas a las otras.
