I am talking about the attitude in the act of search for food and eating, i
am talking about the toughts that we have that have as much impact on us,
our biochemistry than WHAT we eat.
I was using the words given to jesus Christ by Mathew in the bible . When
tempted by the devil to transform stones in bread , after his 40 days fast
he said: < Human shall not livre from bread alone but from all the words of
god > ( my translation from French)
The impact of respect calm and reverence on the hormonal level
specifically is enormous .
That in turn will change the quality and quantity of nutrients needed to
keep the homeostasis going.
