Eat Simple

Eat simple. Your buddies, ketchup, mustard and mayo were not around 5,000 years ago, jarred pickles, hot sauce, pop tarts, French fries, pizza and so on.... The more processed, boxed, or jarred the food is the less "life giving" it is to you. The less complex your food is and the closer it is to nature the better. Eating seasonally is also best. For instance hot foods, spicey food and red meat should be limited during the summer as they are heating to the body, can cause irritability and dry out the body for the winter. Ice cream, while ok in moderation during the summer and served best midday with lunch, actually puts out the "digestive fire" which enables us to break down food and assimilate nutrients. So before you take the next bite of breakfast, or dinner make sure you are really hungry, keep it simple and ask yourself if what you are about to ingest will nourish you and make you feel good- physically, mentally and spiritually.
