November - What’s in Season
This time of year is full of hearty, nutrient dense foods that are perfect for warming meals and comforting recipes. Think sweet potatoes, winter squash, Brussels sprouts, carrots, beets, cabbage, kale, collard greens, apples, pears, and cranberries. These seasonal favorites offer a variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber to support overall health. Incorporate lots of roasted vegetables, homemade soups, and warming spices like cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric into your meals.
Autumn Musings
It’s been a while since I have taken time to just sit down and reflect and I seem to find it harder and harder to separate from the things that keep me busy. After my Dad passed away, routine and busyness was what kept me grounded and still does in a way, but I know when I need to take a break, I usually fight it though.
What I wish more people knew about taking care of their health
Many of the things marketed to us are “nice to haves” but we don’t need them. They can be complementary to our health journey yes, but if the basics aren’t being observed & your foundation isn’t strong there is no equipment or supplement that is going to do that for you.
Things like Oura rings, Vibration Plates, Red lights, CGM’s, smart scales can all be helpful tools (under the right circumstances) but again, we do not NEED them to get started or in order to get healthy. What we should be focused on is learning how our unique body works & listening to it.
