Your Whole Person Nutrition Profile
Introduction:
What might you discover when you combine ancient food wisdom from world religions and cultural traditions with Western nutritional science?
Spirituality and Health and Deborah Kesten, M.P.H., a pioneer in the field of whole person nutrition and author of the Winter 2002 article, The Enlightened Diet, invite you to find out. Kesten's research into the wisdom traditions and nutritional science has revealed that there are four perennial nutrition "secrets" that have served and healed humankind for millennia: dining with others (social nutrition); awareness of feelings before, during and after eating (psychological nutrition); preparing and eating meals with mindfulness, appreciation, and love (spiritual nutrition); and choosing fresh, whole foods (biological nutrition). These principles are the essence of Kesten’s books, The Healing Secrets of Food and Feeding the Body, Nourishing the Soul.
