Food for the Soul  {Every Action has a Powerful Reaction}

Our bodies are stardust; our lives are sunlight.” ― Oliver Morton, Eating the Sun: How Plants Power the Planet

Food is life & there is great power in Plants. Nature is fueled with an alphabet of nourishing nutrients, naturally designed to assist our bodies in the self-healing and regenerative process we go through on a daily basis.

The inner workings of our bodies can be seen as a mirror effect of the natural world. The nutritional support we get from every unique plant nutrient helps build strong foundations to assist the bodies natural ability to self heal.

By choosing to consume more natural foods we strengthen our Immunity & detoxification becomes an integral part of our daily lives, all of which keeps us healthy and happy 🙂

It’s all one big digestive process, a growth process with every ‘part’ playing a role within the whole.

From the Colours in our food, which bring Rainbows of vitamins & stimulate feel-good hormone production, to the Flavours, which arouse excitement, activating enzymes in our digestive tracts. Mindful moments, encourage us to make better choices while selecting & preparing ingredients & products.

All of that being said, we cannot forget that our skin – our largest organ is as important in the renewal process of the body and therefore needs to be supported by those choices. Beginning and maintaining a flow and cultivating healthy habits that work for you, through listening to your body and becoming more aware of what it requires, is so important.

We struggle to really hear what we need but that’s because we need to clear through the internal noise. That takes time and you need to honour that time.

No quick fixes unfortunately but taking one step each day towards making an effort to crowd out the bad by replacing things with better choices, is your key to sustainable change ~ ie: Refined salt out, sea salt in.

Skincare routines you adopt, the water you drink, the food you eat, your daily movement, rest & even the company you keep, every action has a powerful reaction which can create a natural ripple effect that will bring you closer to your goals.

So as we age through life, we can reflect on this beautiful natural rhythm, a rhythm we can nurture instead of trying to lengthen or avoid. It’s a timeless beauty – to live our best life, In harmony with nature, both inside and out.
