The Verite Foundation is committed to offering help and advice on fitness and nutrition in the pursuit of a healthier, longer disease free life. We believe that a combination of the right exercise and a change in diet can make all the difference to your life for the better.
Christian said: “The Verite Foundation was set up after my father died of cancer at a relatively young age. Following his diagnosis, I began to question both conventional medicine, as well as my own knowledge regarding nutrition, and I starting looking for alternative ways to help him fight the disease.
“I was invited to speak on the benefits of physical exercise on prostate cancer and whilst there, I met a nutritionist who told me about a book called the China Study by T. Colin Campbell, PHD and Thomas M. Campbell. This book examines the relationship between the consumption of animal products and chronic illnesses such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, and various cancers. The authors conclude that people who eat a whole-food, plant-based diet will escape, reduce or reverse the development of numerous diseases.
“This bold claim struck home and immediately changed the way I thought about how we eat and live. The traditional way of approaching nutrition that I have followed since becoming a fitness trainer was now being called into question.
“The research and evidence surrounding the relationship between diet and cancer, plus many other diseases is actually as clear as day. Essentially, latest studies are more and more proving that the Standard American Diet, which most of us in the UK follow, is in fact more detrimental to our health than originally thought. High protein, dairy and sugar in our diets are fuelling chronic illnesses that require medical and pharmaceutical intervenient on an on-going basis.
