The practice of dietary and applied clinical nutrition for a wholesome lifestyle and holistic healthcare is based upon the following, time honored foundational principles:
“A sound mind, in a sound body”
It is of immeasurable importance to know and believe and appreciate that one is not only what one eats and metabolizes for physical health and well-being, but also what one thinks and metabolizes for mental and emotional health and well-being, and what one believes and metabolizes for spiritual health and well being.
Many vital and indispensable factors contribute to the unimaginable complexity of sound physical and metaphysical health and healthcare for the human being. Among these are the following principle examples:
| 1. Whole Food | 10. Reflective Meditation |
| 2. Pure Water | 11. Earnest Prayer |
| 3. Daily Exercise | 12. Charitable Activity |
| 4. Sound Sleep | 13. Right Relationship |
| 5. Routine Rest | 14. Hearty Laughter |
| 6. Refreshing Relaxation | 15. Reconciliation |
| 7. Intellectual Interest | 16. Positive Thinking |
| 8. Emotional Expression | 17. Good Hygiene |
| 9. Intentional Integrity | |
Finally, it should never be forgotten that personal cultural stress, both physical and metaphysical, is the major contributing factor to unsound health and unresponsive healthcare.
Dietary Suggestions
Both reasonable and straightforward, the famous principle is as follows:
“Let Your Moderation Be Known to All”
Eat plenty of natural whole foods, both raw and cooked, quality meat (preferably range-raised, grass fed) and fish (preferably mercury-free), fresh fruit and vegetables (preferably organic), and raw nuts and seeds.
Do not eat unnatural or processed foods, refined carbohydrates, hydrogenated oils and fats, canned good and prepackaged products.
Drink plenty of pure water daily (one-half body weight in ounces) and alcoholic beverages in moderation.
Do not drink cola beverages at all or sweetened-artificially or naturally-fruit juices in excess. Coffee and tea, however, whatever one might think of the enduring caffeine controversy, are known to offer many health-promoting phytonutrients including antioxidants and polyphenols.
Balance dietary intake to reflect a greater percentage of protein over both fats and carbohydrates in encouraged.
