The phrase "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food (Hippocrates)", which was said 2500 years ago, is considered a milestone in emphasizing the relationship between nutrition and health, and is still valid for current nutritional approaches. Personalized nutrition habits, it is a factor that can be accelerated depending on demographic variables, can be revised according to trend suggestions without taking specialist’ opinion, and unfortunately, its long-term effects are ignored and held responsible for miraculous changes. And so, it is accepted as one of the major reasons for the increase in obesity, high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, etc. diagnoses on a global scale. In modern medical science based on scientific data rather than popular discourses, it is emphasized that all possible factors related to nutrition should be evaluated together in the treatment and prevention of many acute and chronic disorders. Because nutrition has not only physical, but also spiritual and mental healing effects. In other words, instead of recommending direct therapy according to the patient's complaint in the treatment of a disease, it is important to evaluate all the factors that may induced these complaints together and to be able to solve the underlying problem. In this context, in addition to the nutritional habits that can treat or prevent the disease, the individual's spiritual, mental and physical status should also be addressed. The purpose of this review is to examine the role of the holistic approach to spiritual, mental and physical nutrition for a sustainable healthy life.
