What Is Primary Food, and Why Is It So Important?

Primary food is more than just what's on your plate. Healthy relationships, regular physical activity, a fulfilling career, and a spiritual practice can fill your soul and satisfy your hunger for life. When your primary food is balanced and satiating, your life feeds you, making what you eat secondary.

What Is Primary Food?

Think back to a time when you were passionately in love. Everything was exciting. Colors were vibrant. The intimacy was magical. Your lover’s touch and feelings of exhilaration sustained you. You were floating on air, gazing into each other’s eyes. You forgot about food and were high on life.

Now think back to when you were a child, playing outside and having fun. Suddenly, your mother announced that dinner was ready, but you weren't hungry at all. The passion of play took all of your attention.

Sometimes we are fed not by food, but by the energy in our lives. These moments and feelings demonstrate that everything is food.
