We live in a world now flooded by artificial products of all kinds. Many useful, some essential, most unnecessary. Maybe, just perceiving this artificial world is too narrow and stifling brought to the fore the term "natural" used and abused in every sector, especially that relating to food and personal care.
I thought about what it means to me the term "natural food", both in terms of my experience training and working life, and found four basis points, which probably could be added others.
- natural food is not dieting . There is nothing natural in the diet, there is no living thing in nature that calculating food calories, the amount of protein, fat, sugar. Ever since I was born a human being bases his power on the spur of hunger and satiety, until the social rules and times of modern life do not take precedence over the physiological needs.
- Power is introducing natural and organic whole foods . In nature there are no refined foods: they are an invention of a food industry that bases its work mainly on profit, not the well-being. And 'the invention of a consumer society which had grown out after the Second World War who sees in refined product a status symbol of wealth.
- natural food is used mainly fresh . It 's definitely very helpful to have a supply of home-cooked food, canned, ready-to allow for preparing a meal at the last minute. But when this practice becomes the norm and not the exception, who pays the consequences is our health. Besides being virtually maintenance-free life energy, these products contain preservatives, coloring agents, emulsifiers, thickening contributing to intoxicate the body.
- Natural food is to follow the seasonal cycle of products . Being able to store food and the ease with which they can carry in a few hours on either side of the world has made available in all markets products in each country during the time of the year. But plants are born, grow and bear fruit in one season and in a certain climate because they have a meaning for the body that is tied to a specific time and place.
Nurtured has a deeper meaning than just introduce a food to satisfy my hunger. Most of the diseases and ailments of the human diet comes from not appropriate in terms of both quality and quantity. We have forgotten our deeper connection with nature, thinking that the technology could satisfy our needs. But the results have rejected our expectations. We have a lot more than one time, but we are sicker and more miserable. Above all, we delude ourselves to be able to manipulate the world as we please without being liable for the consequences harmful for us.
