Sinopsis

Feeding the Body, Nourishing the Soul is a pioneering, award-winning book that leads us back to a deeper, more meaningful relationship to food and eating by revealing the common thread from ancient food wisdom that has the power to nourish body, mind, and soul. For instance, in Feeding the Body, Nourishing the Soul, you’ll discover how sacred fasting is practiced by the Native American vision quest. You’ll learn that, like great jazz, African-American soul food comes from depths of wisdom as well as the ability to playfully improvise “from feel” when you cook. And you’ll meet Buddhist monks who apply the ancient practice of mindfulness eating. 

Along with cutting-edge scientific studies on the life-giving properties of food, and fascinating insights from more than 45 scientists and spiritual teachers, Feeding the Body, Nourishing the Soul reveals how to prepare both food and your state of mind so that you are nourished multi-dimensionally each time you eat. This book is truly a “nutrition journey around the world.”
