From Chaos to Clarity: A Mindful Approach to Holiday Hustle
Kasey Franco, BIÂN Master Thought Leadership Provider, Member Advisor
In the vibrant height of spring, as nature awakens and blooms, our approach to food can align with the energetic shifts around us.
Just as the seasons change, so too should our culinary choices and preparations to honor the essence of spring.
Understanding Food Energetics
Every food we consume carries unique energetics and characteristics, akin to the heat of a cayenne pepper or the cooling nature of a cucumber. The way we prepare our meals also imparts these energetics, influencing how our bodies respond and digest. This concept of "seasonal eating" emphasizes the harmony between food choices, their preparation, and the current season.
The Significance of Seasonal Eating
Traditionally, the harvest of crops is intricately linked to the seasons in which they grow. Spring and summer offer a bounty of fresh produce, while fall and winter bring heartier fare. However, modern conveniences have disconnected us from this natural rhythm, allowing year-round access to ingredients from distant locales through complex supply chains.
Benefits of Eating Seasonally
Opting for seasonal foods not only supports local farmers but also ensures fresher, nutrient-rich produce. In contrast, out-of-season fruits and vegetables may be picked prematurely, ripening in transit and potentially lacking in vital nutrients. Additionally, foods shipped over long distances often require preservatives, impacting both taste and nutritional value.
Celebrating Spring Foods
As we revel in the abundance of the height of spring, embracing the lightness of spring greens can invigorate and cleanse our bodies. Bitter greens, a hallmark of the season, aid in detoxification and cooling effects. By incorporating foods like asparagus, broccoli, garlic, and mushrooms, we can align our diet with the cleansing energy of spring.
