Dear all,
As the days are getting shorter until the equinox on 21st of December, we still need to watch your moods and energy levels and keep the hydration, vitamin D levels, magnesium and fresh air up! It’s a time were things do slow down and it’s fine to let things go and to pace ourselves with less expectations. Sleep is crucial as well as having more comforting foods like soups, stews and root veg!
The Water element in the Chinese medicine corresponds to the winter season; this is a time when we forget to stay hydrated because we feel cold. Water kefir is a great drink to keep our hydration on the menu! Bladder and kidney issues tend to arise because of the lack of hydration in our bodies. It is also a season of purple and blue colors. Introducing those purple colored veg like Purple potatoes and sweet potatoes, purple carrots and kale, black/ wild rice are great for this season, purple veg mean they contain a higher level of antioxidants, which boosts our immunity!
