Natural Hygiene Diet

The Natural Hygiene Diet is as easy to understand and to adopt as it is beautiful to see and delicious to eat. The NHA recommends a plant-based diet derived almost exclusively from whole natural plant foods with minimal use (or exclusion) of animal products such as meat, fish, fowl, eggs and dairy products, as well as added oil, salt, sugar, and most processed foods.

These recommendations alone would not make the Natural Hygiene Diet special. Natural Hygiene stands apart from other vegetarian, flexitarian,  vegan, and natural food diets in that it recommends that you eat a large portion of your diet uncooked, use a minimum of spices, salt, and other stimulants, and center your diet around fruits and vegetables, seeds and nuts. The dietary recommendations emphasize foods in their natural state to maximize the full symphony of nature's fragile micronutrients and phytochemicals.

Juicing

The NHA maintains that foods should be eaten in their whole natural state to enjoy maximum nutritional benefit.

Juicing should be viewed primarily as a lifestyle pleasure, and not a daily regimen. However, we recognize that juicing of fruits and vegetables can be a healthy, enjoyable pleasure.

Raw Foods

Uncooked fruits and vegetables are alive with exquisite flavors and aromas, and provide you with nature’s full palate of nutrients (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and phytochemicals), fiber, and water in abundance.

Fresh fruits and vegetables are nature’s perfect foods and they are low in calories. Raw salad vegetables contain on average only 100 calories per pound. Fresh fruit contain on average only about 300 calories per pound.

Vitamin & Minerals

The NHA maintains as a general principle that when we eat a calorie-sufficient diet derived exclusively from whole natural foods—fresh fruits and vegetables , and the variable additional of whole grains, nuts, and legumes, we get an abundant supply of both the quantity and quality of vitamins the body needs.
Nutrition is a continually growing science and it is now well established that optimal levels of B12 are not met with a vegan, vegetarian or near vegetarian diet. Also many individuals not getting sufficient sunshine do not meet their needs for Vitamin D without supplementation.
There could be other supplemental suggestions that might offer benefit to an otherwise ideally designed diet but at present the data is somewhat limited and not well established.enough for the AHA to make definitive recommendations for all people.
