Getting Started
In order to begin the First Line Therapy program, our patients should first know their current health status. At Natural Health we perform a variety of health assessments, including a body composition measurement to determine the ratio of body fat to lean muscle mass. Excess body fat can greatly increase your health risks, while a higher ratio of muscle can increase metabolism and is associated with a lower incidence of illness. Improving your muscle-to-fat ratio can be one of the most powerful tools in controlling the aging process. This can be done by practicing proper nutrition and a healthy diet, while following a simple plan of physical activity.
