NUTRITION AND DIETETICS
Nutrition deals with the science of food and its relationship to health. Dietetics is the practical application of the principles of nutrition for meal planning of healthy and sick individuals. Fasting is the single greatest natural healing therapy. It is nature’s ancient, universal remedy for many problems.
According to Naturopathy, the root cause of most of the disease is the accumulation of toxic matter. It is essential to cleanse it by diverting the energies of the body by fasting. During fasting the body eliminates a large amount of stored waste. It is a complete voluntary abstinence from taking any kind of food for a definite period of time. When one fasts the body is given an opportunity to heal on its own.
