What a beautiful summer in New England!

Have you noticed the weather is changing? The mornings and evenings are much cooler now, and this is our cue to adjust our eating to eliminate the excess water from our bodies.

This water comes from a steady stream of yin (expanding/cooling) foods, such as:

  • Alcohol
  • Raw Food
  • Tropical Food

  • Soda
  • Sugar
  • Nightshade Veggies (tomato, potato, eggplant, pepper, etc.)

  2. Get outside early or late in the day, remembering to replenish minerals (sea veggies cooked in water, and drinking water) when you sweat
  3. Choose this life, and give your full presence to others

Enjoy!… Read the rest
