Holistic nutrition

Holistic nutrition, takes into account various aspects of a person’s of a person’s life in addition to a clean, balanced and toxic-free diet.

What is Holistic Nutrition?

“The word holistic comes from the word holos, a Greek term meaning “whole” or “entire”, which means that the human being is contemplated as a whole in the different areas of his or her life with four being the most important: A meaningful spiritual practice, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity, and healthy interpersonal relationships.

Holistic nutrition recommends a clean diet based on healthy, chemical-free, fresh and seasonal foods, such as a rainbow of fruits and vegetables, healthy fats and more plant-based proteins, such as those found in grains, cereals and seeds. For some it also includes eggs, meats, fish and dairy products. It is also recommended to include nuts, cocoa, alkaline water, fermented foods, teas and infusions of medicinal herbs, pure honey, spices such as ginger, turmeric, sea salt, pepper, cinnamon, among others.

Benefits

Smooth and hydrated skin, acne free, weight loss, more energy, stronger hair and nails, mental clarity, better sleep and achieving balance in your life.

Diets don’t work because they focus on short-term results and not on turning bad eating habits into healthy ones and adopting a healthy, active, conscious lifestyle with long-term results. Holistic nutrition not only serves to take care of our weight and image but also to feel younger and more energetic. Remember that every cell in our body is formed with the nutrients from the food we eat, the thoughts we have and the emotions we experience.

Your body is your temple and it is your responsibility to love and care for it! Dalia Greene
