Food, Faith, Fasting. How to Find a Balance Between Caring for the Soul and the Body

Nutritionist Rita Madden suggests looking at this problem from a spiritual perspective and returning... to the lost view in modern culture of consuming food as a sacred act, a communion with God. The author bases her approach on the wisdom of the Orthodox tradition. In exploring this topic, the experience of the holy fathers is combined with modern scientific research, and the theory is accompanied by exercises. The principles of nutrition and lifestyle proposed in the book will be beneficial, set the tone for fasts and feasts, and fill the care for health with a deeper, spiritual meaning.
