Human subsistence is highly dependent on food. Food offers essential nutrients for the healthy growth and development of all cells in the body; as well as providing energy for day-to-day activities. A healthy diet focuses on balance. This refers to consuming the right foods in the proper proportions to maintain a healthy weight and optimize the body's metabolic processes. Today, the nutrition arena has evolved rapidly. In developed countries, nutritional deficiencies efforts have shifted to managing excessive calories, inactive lifestyles and stress. Nutritional and technological advances concurrently curbed nutrient deficiency diseases, while abutting the growing concerns on obesity, non-communicable diseases and ageing. Acknowledging the nutritional guidelines worldwide, it is imperative to look at the “new-old” approaches to maintaining a wholesome diet to ensure a healthy lifestyle. In the 1980s, the University of Giessen came forward with the concept of ‘Wholesome Nutrition’ which is a concept of sustainable nutrition. It comprises health and the ecological, economic, social and cultural dimensions of nutrition. Later, sustainable nutrition incorporates the environment, economy, society, health and culture. On the other hand, past lessons and observing the good manners of the previous Muslims are recommended by Islamic principles. Among similarities in the core elements discussed by both are the preference for plant-based foods and minimally processed products. This article discusses the approaches by the West on the concept of sustainable nutrition; and eating habits by early Muslims in achieving wholesome nutrition. © 2024 The Authors.
