Holistic Nutrition and Organic Farming

Nutrition is the process of nourishing your body. Holistic nutrition is based on the principle that parts of the whole are connected, i.e. food is prescribed by the nutritionist considering all the aspects of your personality. Holistic nutrition addresses your life as an interconnected whole – where and when you eat, where does your food come from and what you eat and how your food was farmed.

Sometimes, this form of nutrition can follow a certain cultural philosophy as well, such as Ayurveda or a specific diet focusing on resolving an issue such as anti-inflammatory diet, cleansing diet, or immunity-balancing. The nutritionist prescribes the diet according to the individual’s specific needs, and each person’s diet needs would vary from the other.
Every person has a different lifestyle, physique, genetic predisposition, personality, mental and emotional needs – a holistic nutritionist would take all of these into consideration and create a completely personalized food plan for you. Diabetes, emotional disorders, autoimmune disorders, heart disease, chronic pain, kidney disease, low energy and other conditions can be effectively addressed through holistic nutrition.

Holistic nutrition also places importance on the kind of food you eat. That is, organic foods are preferred rather than food which has been cultivated with pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. These build up in the body as toxins and create blockages in the body. Organic farming has a vital role in holistic nutrition. Your body gets the right quantity and quality of nutrients and absorbs better. Whatever you eat is properly utilized by your body.

Organic farming is the need of the hour as our planet has been several polluted with chemicals used in food production. If the demand for organic products is increased, then the number of organic farms would increase, and consequently, we would eat healthier while caring for the planet. In this type of farming, compost manure, green manure and bone meal fertilizers are used. Techniques such as companion planting and crop rotation are used. Pest control is carried out biologically, and insect predators are encouraged, rather than using harmful chemical fertilizers.

    At Mimamsa, we have within our premises an organic garden to provide all our guests with organically farmed vegetables and food. To cultivate fruits and vegetables, Mimamsa considers crop selection, site selection and site preparation. Our food cultivation is carried out considering the effect it will have on the environment.
