Feeding the Body, Nourishing the Soul
Description:
20th Anniversary Edition
Winner, 1998 Independent Publisher Book Awards
Feeding the Body, Nourishing the Soul teaches you how to focus your attention and prepare food so that you are nourished on multiple dimensions each time you eat.
Before 20th century nutritional science, when seeking guidelines on what and how to eat, humankind turned to world religions, cultural traditions, and Eastern healing systems.
Nutrition researcher Deborah Kesten re-introduces us to this ancient food wisdom from the world's predominant faiths (including Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). She also explores regional traditions (including yogic nutrition, Japanese tea ceremonies, Native American fasting, and African-American soul food). Lastly, she explores cutting-edge scientific studies on the life-giving properties of food.
By identifying a remarkable unity and common vision around eating, Kesten leads us back to a deeper, more meaningful, and spiritually-oriented relationship to food.
