Detox Season

Fall Season is the best season to Detox the body, therefore the mind. Mother Earth has set it up that the foods produced during this beautiful season will detox the body and actually 'pull' out the heat/toxins/acidity in the body organs, built up from the summer heat. 

So, eat more leafy greens, berries, apples, pumpkin....Eat all things that are seasonal right now. Mother Earth was sweet enough to provide food on our land that provides our nutrients that our bodies need for each season. 

For example, the bitter and astringent qualities of the leafy greens, berries, apples, pumpkins during the Fall help pull out the heat built up from the summer, as well as preparing our bodies for the Winter months.

Eat consciously and with grace. Don't overindulge. Keep away from foods with high fructose syrup and simple sugars, which put on excess weight and is in EVERYTHING we eat, pretty much. Stick to a more vegetarian/vegan diet where meats are hard to digest and usually gets stored as fat. Pray over your food to give thanks. 

Lesson on Sugar:

Simple carbohydrates or simple sugars - These carbs are broken down and digested very quickly, but most simple carbs contain refined sugars and very few essential vitamins and minerals. Examples include table sugar, fruit juice, milk, yogurt, honey, molasses, maple syrup and brown sugar.

Complex carbohydrates - the complex carbs take longer to digest and are packed with fiber, vitamins and minerals. Examples include vegetables, whole grain breads, oatmeal, legumes, brown rice and wheat pasta.
