Over the years, my perspective on nutrition has grown and evolved to recognize that nutrition does not simply entail the food and beverages we consume. Nutrition, when it comes down to it, is anything that is nutritive – that is, anything that supports you in a positive way. A great foundation to that, of course, is to eat healthy, whole foods and to drink plenty of pure water. However, simply hanging out with your best friend and sharing a few laughs does wonders for stress reduction and for creating those 'good' chemicals in the body that help you heal, grow and repair. When considering one's nutrition plan, diet and supplementation can't be the only considerations. To achieve true health, the mind-body connection must also be addressed. How can a person lose 20 pounds and keep it off if underneath they hate themselves and feel that they are undeserving of such an accomplishment? Perhaps they will lose it in the short term, but if they attach their weight to their belief of their worthiness (or lack thereof) and don't change their way of thinking, then eventually it will come back. Similarly, a few key changes to the diet of someone suffering from depression can go a long way to improving their state of mind, in turn positively impacting their physical health. There really is no separation between the mind and body and this can not be ignored. So really, good nutrition is a healthy diet, but it is also healthy habits, supportive thoughts, positive perspectives, loving relationships, and an active lifestyle – it's all nutritive as long as it makes you feel good.
