Eat Well To Be Well

Nourishing ourselves and our loved ones is such a vitally important aspect of achieving vibrant health. In our culture, we tend to either have little regard for food or to look at it purely for its nutritional content.

It is so important to remember, though, that eating can and should nourish us on many levels: the joy we feel when we share a meal with loved ones, the satisfaction of seeing beautiful food prepared with skill and love, the comfort evoked by the scent of a beloved treat, and the pleasure of eating something delicious all add to our wellbeing in such a tangible way.

Snuggle Up Snack: Brown Rice & Veggie Bowl

As the aspen leaves turn to a vibrant gold and the fall nights cool, my body naturally gravitates towarmer foods. Delicious foods including pureed soups, chunky stews, rich pasta dishes...basically anything warm that I can put in a bowl. However, when I am in a time crunch my favorite snuggle up snack is my steamy brown rice and veggie bowl. Not only does it contain important vitamins and antioxidants, it can also be fun when eating it with tortilla chips rather than a fork or spoon.

Allergen free, vegan Macaroni and "Cheese"

Last week the Vibrant Health Alliance had our annual Holiday shindig. We always do these as a potluck and invariably we always have an amazing, beautiful meal made even better because we are all so excited to get to nourish each other. My husband was having a hankering for macaroni and cheese, but we have some folks who avoid dairy in the group so I decided to make an allergen-free, vegan version.

Take healthy decisions one step at a time

As we get older the years seems to go by faster and there never seems to be enough time in a day. The time to make lifestyle changes may feel overwhelming for you when you are already struggling with maintaining your current responsibilities. If we are not careful, work; family and friends will take priority over ourselves. I want to suggest making healthy choices in baby steps. The way you can do this is by learning a few new things every year and implementing them immediately. Now as the years go by you will have added 2 - 4 new healthy choices per year.
