Natural Nutrition
is about promoting health through following natural food plans
that are rich in whole, unprocessed foods. It encourages
detoxification, exercise, adequate rest and sleep, using natural
healthcare, avoiding environmental hazards, and developing
spiritually. Natural Nutrition is based on long the established
principles within wholistic healing, a system using the power of
nature.
It is considered an art, science, and philosophy.
