Balance of Body Temperature

In the previous sections, we aimed at establishing nutrition and metabolism regulation as the central pillars of the POH method. We linked nutrition and metabolism with the notion of positive energy balance and the consequent rise of diseases of affluence. The metabolic syndrome was explained and described as an apparent sign of the state of prolonged compensation through which the body is going. Eventually, these conditions lead to development of a disease.

Another important characteristic of nutrients was explained... the possibility to have effects on our genes. This gene – nutrient interaction is central in the new science named nutrigenomics. POH method explains much of its long-term effectiveness through these mechanisms that were described in greater depth. Thus, in order to restore balance back to the system – a longer period is required, and especially a period of very low protein diet. This would give the body enough ‘breathing’ space and a chance to restore itself back to normal. The length of this period depends on the state of health.

In the following sections, we describe the characteristics of the lymph, its important role in maintaining good health, and how POH produces beneficial results in this field as well.
