About this title

Synopsis

20th Anniversary Edition
Winner, 1998 Independent Publisher Book Awards

Feeding the Body, Nourishing the Soul teaches you how to focus your attention and prepare food so that you are nourished on multiple dimensions each time you eat.

Before 20th century nutritional science, when seeking guidelines on what and how to eat, humankind turned to world religions, cultural traditions, and Eastern healing systems.

Nutrition researcher Deborah Kesten re-introduces us to this ancient food wisdom from the world's predominant faiths (including Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). She also explores regional traditions (including yogic nutrition, Japanese tea ceremonies, Native American fasting, and African-American soul food). Lastly, she explores cutting-edge scientific studies on the life-giving properties of food.

By identifying a remarkable unity and common vision around eating, Kesten leads us back to a deeper, more meaningful, and spiritually-oriented relationship to food.

Review

It's not what you eat, but how you eat, according to nutritionist Deborah Kesten. By exploring the food rituals of numerous cultures, Kesten reveals how food feeds the spirit as well as the flesh. We learn that in order to make soul food, one must learn the art of cooking from feel. Like creating great jazz, African American soul food comes from the depths of wisdom as well as the ability to playfully improvise. The Buddhist monks model the mechanics of mindful eating. And sacred fasting is best illustrated by the Native American vision quest. In the second half of the book, Kesten delves into useful advice on eating disorders, food-mood connections, and specific how-tos of enlightened eating. --Gail Hudson
