Eat Seasonally
I've been studying more about Ayurvedia and the very natural recommendation to eat seasonally. The recommendation is to eat what is available "from the land" during that time of year. See if you can incorporate more Fall foods into your diets. Consider, sweet potatoes, pumpkins & squash, apples, ALL KINDS of nuts and seeds. Also, when the weather gets colder, it's a great time to add a nice warm lunch to your schedule. Eating a hearty warm soup at lunch time (maybe with some multi-grain bread or small salad) will help you feel great & get you through to dinner. Some people fear the fat in nuts & seeds but this is what your body needs to get you through the long, cold winter.

It's hard to know what "seasonal" is these days - the grocery store seems to have every thing, all the time. Has anyone found a good chart? With my work schedule, getting to a farmers market, which would have seasonal food more obviously than the grocery store, next to impossible.
ReplyDeleteI'll look for a chart or put something together.
