Self-Care Through Nutrition-Mind, Body & Soul

By Pamela Harris

I had become more focused on convenience, and that includes how I eat. But being autoimmune, that was not good in regards to keeping up your health. When hunger struck, it was much easier to open a can, unwrap a package, or pop a lid than it is actually to prepare a fresh meal. But according to holistic nutritionists, the cost of not being mindful impacts your health. With the epidemic rise of obesity and diabetes, the link to basic health and what you eat has taken center stage. Many are looking to holistic nutrition as a way to feed their bodies and heal themselves as well. What is holistic nutrition? Holistic nutrition is all about eating healthy food as close to its natural state as possible for optimum health and wellbeing. Hallmarks of holistic nutrition include unrefined, unprocessed, organic, and locally grown whole foods. It's an approach to eating that very consciously considers everything eaten and focuses on eating for health above all else. Top health benefits of a holistic diet Holistic nutritionists believe that food is fuel and medicine for the body. I have learned and agree with nutritionists that adding a mixture of healthy items adds amazing benefits and not depending on one source. Joined by increasing your outward flow brings the body to a place where it is much easier to control the spiritual within, allowing our bodies to function correctly, promoting healing from within.
