Sync Your Diet and Lifestyle with Nature For Greater Health Benefits!
Our body’s internal system is meant to match the vast ecosystem of nature.
We are all interconnected with nature and the environment in which we live. When the seasons begin to change, we feel the effects both physically and mentally. When it gets dark at an earlier hour, we tend to wind down earlier. When it remains light out late, we might eat later and stay awake later.
Knowing this, we can support a greater state of health and provide the perfect foundation for balance, vitality, and well-being throughout the year by making a conscious effort to live in harmony with the cycles of nature. We can make the necessary adjustments to our diet, daily habits and lifestyle to accommodate the arrival of each new season.
Each season brings with it a unique set of qualities that can either calm or aggravate the inner dynamics of our being. This is why some people love the summer heat while others avoid it at all costs. Regardless of who we are, the local climate plays a key role in our overall state of balance.
When the temperature, humidity, and length of days start changing, we respond to these changes in nature by desiring different foods and daily routines. In the hot months, for instance, many people choose cooler, lighter foods and take it easy more often, hence, the afternoon siesta or nap in certain parts of the world. As the weather cools in fall, we suddenly start feeling more energetic and desire warming foods and tastes.
Choosing the right fresh seasonal foods can help to improve the flow of the body’s natural cleansing cycle. By adapting our diet and lifestyle to better accommodate the changing seasons, we can reduce the likelihood of any seasonally induced imbalances and keep our body in its natural state of equilibrium.
Many of us have seasonally appropriate habits already, without even knowing it. Stay tuned for next week’s blog as we run through the seasons, and you can see if you are intuitively synched up.
