Wellness Cues from Mother Nature
Posted by Shelagh in on Monday March 12, 2012 | 0 Comments
As we welcome the new season of spring on March 20th, notice what is happening in nature. The frozen ground has softened, giving way to crocus, sprouts and grasses. Our bodies are responding to the new season as well by holding on to more water to 'soften' by re-hydrating to flush out the toxins of the long, dry winter.
We can support our bodies through this change of season by taking our cues from Mother Nature. Notice what is in abundance at the market---sprouts, asparagus, leafy greens, kale, Swiss chard, green beans and spinach which are loaded with detoxifying chlorophyll to cleanse the liver and kidneys (which is why asparagus has its funky effect). Mustard greens, parsley, celery, cilantro and watercress have a natural diuretic effect to remove the excess water and flush out the toxins.
Pungent vegetables like onions and young garlic increase metabolism and digestive strength to support burning excess winter fat and re-stimulating the body to burn fat as fuel throughout the spring and summer.
This spring consider a healthy green cleanse by enjoying the bounty of greens provided by Mother Nature to support all of your spring cleanse practices. And give gratitude to Mother Nature for nourishing and nurturing you!
