Strawberries
Juicy and nutritious…strawberries are super heroes! The combination of properities make them second only to plums as the most antioxidant fruit.
Strawberries are high in vitamin C (eight strawberries contain more than an orange) and the anti-inflammatory action has been shown to help even those with chronic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis.
There is abundance of strawberries at the mo so enjoy!
Can you eat your deodorant?
Allowing your under arms to breathe is vital. Sweating is a natural body process and it is harmful to block this. We need to sweat!
There is a lot of research on the harmful effects from using deodorants and antiperspirants which block the sweat glands and contain ingredients such as aluminium.
If you’re worried about the impact not wearing deodorant will have on your social life there are natural ones you could try. Salt crystal sticks are effective especially if you wet them with water first and apply for at least 20 seconds. There are lots of natural deodorants out there and great recipes for homemade ones too 🙂
Let your skin breathe! Freedom to your oxters!
Time to GROW!!
The light is getting stonger and will peak on 21st June for the summer solstice. This is the potent growing time!
If you’ve ever grown plants you’ll know the light is vital to how sweet the taste is. It is the same for us. The sweetness in our life depends on us being available to the light in our life. This is the time to be fully available to the light and embrace our growth!
What we take in is essential to healthy growth. Our food and drink, the air we breathe, who we spend time with, what we read, watch and listen to. All this is the energy we grow from. It’s worth a moment to consider if what you are taking in is good for your healthy growth. If you feel it is not, make a change!
Life force foods
Growing our own food with awareness is the ultimate way to charge ourselves and our food with life force. Taking time and space to appreciate and connect with our food as we grow it, harvest it and eat it. Acknowledging our food as one of our essential sources of life.
Are you aware of what you take in?
Life force foods are all around you. It’s always your choice!
Get growing!
sprouting beans is a wonderful way to grow life force foods even if you don’t have a garden space. Its amazing to watch the transformation! Here’s a helpuful link with sprouting info
Kale is a super plant to grow even in a pot. If you harvest the outer stalks it will continue to grow from its centre through the winter 🙂 Kale has had a lot of attention in the healthy eating world recently for its nutritional goodness. It has been gathered and eaten for thousands of years. Not sure the stone age people were so creative with their recipes! I love this treasure trove of inspiration for great recipes
