Oki-sensei’s ‘Pledge to Absorb Nutrients’ I have come to know that nutrition means to absorb the good and reject the unnecessary. I have come to know that it is wisdom granted by the grace of Nature that my body itself understands what is good or bad to accept into itself. From now on, in accordance with my inner wisdom, I will strive to take in what is suitable and necessary and to eliminate what is unsuitable and unnecessary.
