Spring is here! Spring is known as a time of birth and growth in nature and is the perfect time to add additional support to cleanse the body after a long winter. Typically in the winter we enjoy more warming foods and often more heavier foods, holiday lattes, and movie nights inside. Therefore our bodies are in need of some extra love. It is safe to say that we often eat differently based on the seasons such as desiring more soups and stews in the cold winter and more fruits and veggies in the summer. We take the time to spring clean our house but where do you start to “spring clean” your body?
However, losing weight is a common health goal of many people and there are many fad diets about there that can place more stress on your body causing it to retain fat or disrupt your metabolism more than if you had not gone on the diet in the first place. It can lead to a dangerous cycle of feelings of failure, frustration, hopelessness, and an unhealthy relationship with food.
Today, few people express they take the time to sit and enjoy what they are eating. 24- hour lifestyles are spent on the run at work, time in traffic, transporting children to their scheduled activities, and the little resting time is spent in front of the computer or TV screen. Eating has been relegated to a mundane chore that can be done while driving, working, watching TV and so on. Few people engage in Mindful Eating.
“I am so stressed!” This is a common expression that we use to indicate that what we are supposed to do is limited by our physical, mental or emotional ability at that time. Did you know that any change that occurs inside or outside your body is a stress stimulus?
