Spring is here already, winter is gone and pretty soon everything will be painted in all shades of beautiful, vibrant colors, flowers will be blossoming and temperature will simply rise, bringing us all the goodness and freshness of this season: leafy greens and first fruits of this year. Sounds pretty nice, right? It is a new beginning, a fresh start for all of us, a great time to clean our bodies and our digestive systems and of course a wonderful way to enjoy more fresh and raw foods because now their season begins.
Spring is a lovely time of the year because lots of greens can be grown starting now and this makes it easy to get the best quality produce available on the market, grown in sustainable ways and local. It is an important aspect to focus on the products that come from nearby areas because those products have the most nutrients available as they only travel a small distance from the farmer to your dinner table. This is also an important economic factor as it is best to support the honest farmers which really take care of their produce and believe in the natural, organic way of growing their plants. Sometimes we just have to do a little bit of research in order to find those good meaning people but they are definitely somewhere pretty close to us.
Greens are great food choices to enjoy in the upcoming spring season because now they are so fresh and abundant and help us clean our bodies, detoxify our blood and get rid of all the bad stuff. Of course it is best to include them in a healthy, balanced lifestyle, meaning proper nutrition goes best with a focused mind and an exercise program of choice because we do have to take care of ourselves on all levels. This is what life in balance is defined by and this is what makes life wonderful and worth living: a healthy soul, body and mind.
It is the perfect time to experiment as much as possible with those nature`s goodies including them in your salads, smoothies, veggie pates, etc in order to find what tastes and textures fit you the best. Try a new leafy green every week or every few days and use diversity as a tool to keep you satisfied and enthusiast about this boost of chlorophyll that you get. Sprouts are also a great addition to your salads or your smoothies as we are still transitioning from the cold season, coming all packed with concentrated nutrients and fibers, vitamins and minerals at the same time being very easy to digest and use by the body`s systems.
Happiness, passion and joy in what we do in our lives and in the way we live our lives do come from the inside so this is why it is so important to feed ourselves properly, to choose peace of mind, kindness, compassion and exercise on a daily basis as those are all elements of good health and a wonderful life lived as vibrant and as fulfilling as possible. Share some freshness and some greens with your loved ones and enjoy getting healthy and balanced together!
