Balance is fundamental to good nutrition.
Because, as we all know, you are what you need.
Simple, no-nonsense and nutritious: This, according to the teachings of Father Sebastian Kneipp, is how we should eat. As always, it‘s all about the right balance – as long as your diet is balanced, you don‘t have to give up a thing. In Kneipp‘s teaching, the best of all foodstuffs are high-energy wholegrain foods and nutrient-rich raw foods – seasonal and regionally-sourced if possible, and ideally home-grown. He also recommended eating several small meals a day rather than two large meals. And one more thing: Put your knife and fork down at the right moment – because, as he said, “If you notice that you have eaten, you have already eaten too much!”
DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR
Just take a seat here and stop for a little rest. The best way to quench your thirst is to take a big drink of WATER: According to Father Sebastian Kneipp, it is – it goes without saying – “the best of all drinks.”
