I spoke to Dr Grimston today and I have to say it was so refreshing to speak to a doctor who understands nutrition and the importance of a healthy diet and healthy lifestyle in order to combat illness and give our bodies the chance to heal and repair naturally. I am not anti-medicine and I understand the important role it plays in people's lives but unfortunately it seems that too many doctors want to go to this as the first line of defence and I think that we are learning that in most cases this is wrong. We live in a world where food is plentiful but unfortunately a lot of that food is not healthy - despite how great it tastes! There is too much processed food available to us and the temptation to indulge is always there - I am guilty of this as much as the next person; maybe more so as I have been known to gorge on chocolate with abandon as soon as I taste the first morsel! But there comes a time in our lives when we have to realise that particular party is over and our bodies will not be as forgiving as they were when we were in our teens and twenties! But it's not easy to give up a beautiful bar of milk chocolate for a piece of broccoli - however it is necessary! But a lot of people can't do it and so many preventable illnesses come about specifically because of that! More people these days are beginning to understand that diet is the first line of defence and it is so encouraging to speak to a doctor, such as Dr Grimston, who doesn't glaze over when I talk about healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle. She also understands what I am talking about when I discuss various foods and can even offer really good advice about how I can improve my health naturally and go further with my healthy lifestyle! It was an absolute pleasure to speak to her and she very quickly established herself as someone whose advice and opinions I could trust and whose aim was to ensure that I achieved my full health potential in the best and healthiest way possible. Hopefully this is the future for General Practitioners!
