Nutritional Advice

What is nutrition?

Nutrition is the provision of materials necessary (in the form of food) to cells and organisms in order to maintain life. Many common health problems can be prevented or alleviated with a healthy diet. At Sublime, we believe that good nutrition is crucial for providing our bodies with vital nourishment so that we can perform at our peak. Healthy eating plans support the fitness programmes that we offer.

The Nutritional Value of Healthy Eating

According to the Kosha system in yogic philosophy, the nature of being human encompasses physical and psychological aspects that function as one holistic system. The Kosha system refers to these different aspects as layers of subjective experience. Layers range from the dense physical body to the more subtle levels of emotions, mind and spirit. Psychology refers to the emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of our being.

Together, all aspects make up our subjective experience of being alive.

This ancient yogic health system divides the body into 5 sheaths or koshas, the first being the sheath of the physical self, named from the fact that it is nourished by food. We are what we eat. In a literal sense, the food is the building material for the cells in our body. This is why we believe that eating healthy foods and natural foods is crucial for a healthy body and as a consequence, a happy mind.

To understand the nature of the relation between the body & soul, the nature of our radiance and causes of illnesses and imbalances, we must first realise how the nutritional value of the meals we eat affects the intricate processes that happen within us on many levels. As part of your programme with us we can offer you nutritional information on which foods are feeding you and which depleting you. We can help you decipher “what is healthy food?” and “how can I create more healthy meals that are going to energise me?”

How to be Healthy

The first step to healthy eating is eating mindfully. Making conscious choices of what are healthy foods and what we choose to put in our bodies, determines our wellbeing, our physical stamina to stay healthy and our ability to deal with the stresses of the world around us.

This in turn helps us to remain youthfully radiant.

Our bodies instinctively know what is right for us depending on various factors such as the time of the year, hormonal cycles, sleep patterns and stress levels. However, we tend to ignore our inner intuition or even go against it.

From early childhood we form habits based on eating for comfort rather than satiety, snacking out of boredom and allow ourselves to be encouraged by advertisements to purchase and consume what is socially considered as standard or traditional.

At Sublime we treat each client individually and look at their overall lifestyle as well as desired outcomes and offer nutritional advice accordingly. We believe that in addition to basic healthy food principles, there is a lot more to healthy eating than just a balanced diet.

The food wants to be wholesome, as fresh as possible, grown in a natural environment, made with love from pesticide-free plants and happy, healthy animals. The simpler the better; in keeping with the seasons, preparing and cooking meals with attention and without the use of anything that our bodies and souls don’t need, we believe the resulting dish will be even more delicious.
