natural diet
Whole foods approach
A natural diet consists of foods considered unprocessed, whole, or aligned with what humans (or animals) evolved to eat.
The term appears in discussions of nutrition, wildlife management, and pet care: Wolves thrive on a natural diet of prey animals.
For humans, it often implies avoiding artificial additives, refined sugars, or industrially produced foods, though what counts as "natural" varies widely by philosophy—some emphasize raw foods, others ancestral eating patterns.
