EATING WELL AND GREEN WITH FOODS THAT ARE GOOD FOR YOU
to eat root vegetables, ie: beets, carrots, onions.
Cook healthy meals at home. If you cook your own meals, then you have control of what you are eating and putting into your body. You can create a family bond around preparing meals and sharing them together. Not only that, but when you eat at home and cook from scratch, you will save on energy and package waste. That makes it good for the environment and good for you too, since you can monitor how much oil, sugar and salt is being put on your food.
You may wish to try a vegetarian diet. Here again you have to be very conscious of how you are eating. What is your new source of protein instead of meat? Tofu is easily available and tempeh is good for the colder months.
You also need to continue to eliminate as much processed foods as possible from your diet. They contain toxins which are difficult for the body to digest. If you don’t want to drink milk, there are lots of dairy substitutes made from almonds, rice and
coconut. Experiment and see what you like and how you feel lessening your dairy intake. It may reduce inflammation and colds for you.
Our bodies can become too acidic when we eat bad foods and are stressed out. It is important to make a balance by ingesting probiotics and foods that are more alkaline. Which brings us back to those green leafy vegetables!
Plain veggies are great, i.e. zucchini and peppers. Sea veggies are incredibly good. Try some sautéed seaweed in your stir fry. Avocadoes are filling and good for us also, as are tomatoes.
The idea is to reduce inflammation as much as possible in the body. Ginger, garlic and turmeric help in this! Green tea instead of coffee can ease that caffeine jolt. Try the herbal teas that are available but make sure these are organic also whenever possible. Mint is good for the digestion while chamomile is very calming, especially when mixed with lavender. wonderful also.
It smells
Eat super foods that sustain you. You don’t need to eat junk foods when you have a craving. There are some really tasty foods that have the added bonus of being good for you, too. Snack on a piece of dark chocolate instead of a processed candy bar, or an apple and a slice of cheese instead of sugar filled pretzels. Simple popcorn is filling also. Some others in the super food list include nuts, granola, fruit, low-fat yogurt, rice cakes, and even kale chips. It is also fun to experiment with non gluten foods. We eat so much wheat that it is often helpful to stop it for a while and eat other grains, i.e. oats, amaranth, quinoa.
Eating well and green means reducing the amount of processed foods you eat. You’ll feel better and more energized as your body is better capable of metabolizing non-processed foods. It will make you more aware of your body and which energizing foods it needs to eat to be at its best. This way you will be a strong physical vessel for your spirit to express itself through. Choose your food sources carefully and enjoy this culinary adventure.
