DiningNutrition PhilosophyMost agree that a healthy lifestyle includes creating a nutritionally balanced plan. A sound diet and a healthy lifestyle can be accomplished in many ways, whether through a vegetarian, vegan or omnivore diet. it is much more simple and enjoyable than people believe. The principles of variety, moderation and balance are useful tools for designing a food plan.
How can you improve your eating plan today? It is important to understand that no one food will "save" or "ruin" our food plan or our body. If we permit ourselves the flexibility in our meal plan to include some favorite low nutrient-dense foods from time to time, we take away food's power over us and we increase our mealtime enjoyment. This is important in promoting a healthy relationship with food and with our body. Food should not be boring; it should feed us socially, spiritually and physically. It isn't by chance that the rituals of our lives tend to include food. As the Oberlin College Registered Dietian, I am available to both student groups and individual registered students to aid in the exploration of these issues.
