Step 9: Vitalism and Nutritionism. As stated by Changing Habits : People have stopped eating with a view to create a foundation of good health and have started eating to fix their sickness symptoms, focusing on nutrtionism instead of vitalism Vitalism is the concept: the power that made the body will heal the body when supplied with right ingredients (good food, exercise, sleep, rest, clean air and sunlight). However when we view food in a ‘mechanistic’ way it simply becomes a sum of parts including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. It is in this mechanistic viewpoint that science believes it can improve food (it can’t) and we begin eating food-like products and living a ‘nutritionism’ lifestyle. Top Tips: 1/ When you read a food label, always focus on the ingredients not the nutrition 2/If the ingredients look like a chemical laboratory reading - that’s exactly what it is - chemicals 3/Look for foods with the least amount of ingredients.
