HOW DOES FOOD QUALITY AFFECT BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT? The monastery study
Research was carried out by the
Forschungsring für biologisch-dynamische
Wirtschaftsweise e.V.
Abundant testimony shows that individuals feel more
content when they switch from conventional to organic
or biodynamic food. Such a change is often accompanied
by lifestyle changes. For example, many individuals stop
smoking or become more active, thus making it more
diffi cult to link observed improvements exclusively to the
changes in nutrition. This study was designed to document
any quantifi able or observable changes in individuals whose
way of life remained constant while conventional food is
substituted with biodynamic food. We looked for changes
in physical and spiritual well-being, in intellectual acuity,
as well as in the immune and digestive systems.
