summer food recipes

Hopefully the summer has put you in the mood to try some healthy summer food recipes. But heres why we allways feel so much better in the summer. As the weather gets warmer and the days lengthen the body is much more receptive to change and improvement. Extra light brings extra energy, and that in turn give us more stamina and incentive to eat better, hydrate more, cleanse and nurture. At this time of year fresh local vegetables and fruit are in season and more readily available. instead of getting Strawberries from Turkey, for instance, we can get them from our own back garden. not only will all the produce be so much less depleted in nutrients but hopefully if we can grow them ourselves they will be organic too - at a fraction of the cost.

When the weather is warmer and the nights lighter, we can exercise more and the fresh air, (rather than in an air conditioned building). Exercise helps to strengthen the body, it gets rid of toxins through sweating, improved circulation and encouraging the lymphatic system to drain better and it also lifts the spirit and makes us feel better.

The energy we receive from sunlight is uplifting and beneficial. Sunlight also supplies us with Vitamin D - the type that cannot be obtained in any other way.

No wonder we all feel better and happier at this time of year especially when the sun shines!

All of the techniques, diet advice and suggestions contained in the Nutritional Healing Foundation will be of particular benefit at this time of year when the body is at its most receptive. So to find out more please contact me.
