Nothing Tastes Better Than Healthy Feels

You have just had a fabulous couple of weeks of celebrating and more. Believe me, I'm not a rigid health food nut. I had a few drinks and some chocolate myself. One of the amazing things about detoxing, however, is that I know how to do get rid of the crap, after I've had my fun. I don't like the feeling of being sugared out or numb from alcohol either. Basically, I just get back on the bandwagon and start again to consider my body and my ability to function at a higher and higher level of awareness. This is the week to do just that. Do your shopping with greater attention to the details. Consider buying less fillers and more organic fresh fruits and vegetables. The cost will balance out, believe it or not. Make sure you choose some fresh salad materials, some vegetables to steam such as brocolli, collards, swiss chard; and remember those lovely items to bake such as sweet potatoes and acorn or butternut squash. Soups are lovely as well, include some beans and veggies with some whole grains such as brown rice or barley. Consider fresh herbs to add to your salads and soups with high quality olive oil and fresh lemon or lime.

Large Bowl of Salad and small plate of other items; such as fish, chicken or meat. Personally, I am mostly vegetarian with some wild salmon a couple of times per week. I find that program works best for me. Find what works best for you. We all are different and have different needs. I recommend unprocessed, unadulterated foods, as fresh picked as possible. Start there and enjoy each bite.
