Nutrition — science philosophy and cultural traditions

Food is the body's most constant conversation with the world — what you take in becomes what you are, cell by cell. The science of nutrition continues to evolve, but some things hold across traditions: variety, proximity to whole foods, consistency, and eating with some attention rather than none. No single diet is universal, and the body you are living in is a better guide than any system, once you learn to hear it.
