EAT WITH THE SEASON

Summer is the time to flourish, an opportunity of growth. With all the fresh raw fruits and vegetables that are available to us, it is up to us to honour our bodies with nutrients that are provided by mother nature.  Help your lymph glands remove toxins that have been agglomerated over time by drinking lots of water. Accumulate new energy around you, consolidate with the people you love and start new life-affirming experiences. Summer is a season to challenge yourself to developing a firm eating regime specifically for your body’s unique design. Discover what your body has been trying to communicate.  Garnish your food with enchanted herbs and eat fresh fruits and vegetables that will deliver spirituality and integrate your body with your psyche. Summer is a season to eat juicy foods, to acknowledge your advancements and target your life purpose.  Motion your focus to how bountiful this time of year is for the variety of food grown.  Take this opportunity to unblock any barriers in the body with high vibrational food, allowing the energy to flow freely.  To become conscious of mental and emotional blocks we have experienced and unhealthy patterns we have overcome.  This is the perfect time of year to befriend your local farmers, educate yourself and become involved in your health and community. Eating fresh vibrational foods helps to build your confidence and knowledge of your true self. In order to reach this avenue you must become aware of signs and patterns. Remember to eat mindfully and pay attention to how you feel when you eat your food. Drink lots of water, get plenty of exercise, eat only when hungry and chew your food well to absorb all the nutrients available in your food for energy.

Summer foods include:

Fruit: watermelon, apricots, blueberries, blackberries, cherries, grapes, lemons, limes, mangoes, melon, oranges, peaches, pears, plums, raspberries, papaya, cantaloupes.

Vegetables: Asparagus, corn, tomatoes, artichoke, beets, cabbage, peppers, celery, chives, cucumber, eggplant, green beans, green peas, parsley, radish zucchini, rhubarb, spinach, sugar peas

Make sure to include your sprouted grains and legumes, nuts and seeds for its fiber, protein and essential fatty acids. Juice your fruits and vegetables for better digestion and assimilation of nutrients. Include an assortment of salads with homemade dressings, ask lots of questions and build a support group.  Advance your knowledge and share the wealth! Prepare for the Autumn season and start building up your reserves.

Take responsibility of your health

Energy

Energy is the essence of our being and the food we eat is one of the elements that creates this energy. If their are deficiencies it can create blocks and deprive us of optimal health. Every thought, emotion and action is radiating energy from your personal energy field. This is why we are all connected on an inner level and our environment. Our energy will always seek health. We are responsible of our health and in any creation of illness. Disease is an opportunity to learn about oneself, grow and then move forward. This has to do with facing our fears and the biggest fear of all which is change. Any change requires the release of negativity. Open up to truth, face your fears and love one self.

Take Action.

BUCKWHEAT

Buckwheat has the bioflavinoid rutin, which helps strengthen circulation. A good food to have in your diet if you suffer from varicose veins.

Buckwheat is a non-wheat grain. It is known as kasha when roasted and a great breakfast food. Buckwheat  is also commonly found in pancake recipes:)

Buckwheat contains a good amount of fiber, b-vitamins and is high in potassium and is acceptable during a Candida diet.

How to cook: Rinse. 1 cup of buckwheat to 2 cups of water, bring to a boil and simmer for about 20 min. Enjoy fried up with onions and garlic as a side dish with vegetables or add to salads. For breakfast I like to have it with almond milk, cinnamon and a teaspoon of maple syrup :)

peace + love,

Amaranth

Amaranth is gluten-free and highly nutritious. Amaranth contains more protein than any other gluten-free grain. It is also a good source of dietary fiber, iron and magnesium.

1 cup = 28.1 grams of protein.

You can toast amaranth and add to cereal for that extra crunch or add it to a muffin reciepe. You can cook amaranth 1:3 with water, bring to a boil and simmer for about 20 min. add some maple syrup, cinammon, walnuts or molasses with pear slices and eat for breakfast. Boil Amaranth with stock and ginger root and eat with a a rainbow of vegetables or add to salads.

Amaranth is very strengthening to the lungs, a good detox food. Also, amaranth has more calcium and magnesium than cow's milk! boo to moo!

Variety = Abunance of Nutrients

Sesame Seeds

Sesame seeds are abundant in minerals. Sesame seeds are an excellent source of calcium. They are also high in zinc, copper, magnessium, phosphorus and potassium. Additionally, sesame seeds are a source of iron and tryptophan. Tryptophan is an amino acid and is the key ingredient in making serotonin, which is good for memory and regulating mood.

Add Sesame seeds to salads, bean dishes, whole grain pasta dishes or shakes. Sesame seeds need to be chewed well or grinded into a powder form in order to digest and assimilate effectively.
