Reflections on feeding body and spirit in a world of change
Reflections on feeding body and spirit in a world of change
Renowned animal behaviorist Fred Provenza spent his academic career researching how animals respond to an intricately tuned system of flavor-feedback relationships at the cellular level - a nutritional wisdom that guides them to eat the appropriate combinations of foods to meet their dietary needs. But what about us? Do humans still possess the wisdom to select nourishing diets? In Nourishment, Provenza extends his theory of nutritional wisdom to human food selection and our health, calling into question blind adherence to academic, corporate, and political authorities. He embarks on a paradigm-shifting exploration of an eternal wisdom that can nurture the human body and spirit in a world of perpetual change. Book jacket.
