GOOD NUTRITION FEEDS THE SOUL
At Northwest Passage, we have transitioned from an “institutional” diet to a holistic approach to nutrition – one that does not focus on only a few particular components but instead is informed by knowledge of the composition of healthy human diets from a longer historical perspective. We remain open to the idea that certain individuals may benefit from specific nutritional components, but as a general approach to nutrition, we believe that we should eat what our bodies evolved to eat. We avoid fad diets and supplements and note that a diet that is focused on weight loss is not necessarily good for the brain. While there are practical challenges to achieving the ideal healthy diet plan, we continually strive for meals that consist of whole foods that are unprocessed and unrefined.
“THE FUEL WE CHOOSE FOR OUR BODIES HAS A DIRECT IMPACT ON OUR EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL WELL-BEING.”
