Nourished by the Mystery by L. Gruger
“If we look after the root of a tree,
the fragrance and flowering will come by itself.
If you look after the body, the fragrance of the
mind and spirit will come by itself.”
– BKS Iyengar
I was supposed to post this yesterday because I’m doing Art and Words on Fridays…but you know, life gets in the way sometimes.
I’m on day 6 of a raw food detox diet so I’ve been thinking a lot about nutrition and the health of the body lately. I’m doing it for fun and I also like to challenge myself and this is a way of eating I’ve never done before. All raw food! For a week! It’s hard! But I’m doing it.
It’s been a personal challenge to get through it! There are so many temptations! I feel great though from what I’m eating and also for sticking with it.
I found the diet at the Detox Diet Divas website. I think I found it from a blog linked to a blog at The Kind Diet website which is a new book I bought by Alicia Silverstone that has great vegan recipes.
No, I’m not vegan but I like healthy recipes and reading about good nutrition. I can’t wait till Monday though when I can eat some Sweet Potato-Lentil Stew served over couscous or brown basmati rice…yumm! It’s a recipe from my new book! I love sweet potatoes and lentils, so I can’t wait!
Enjoy the Art and Words!
I suppose, seeing that I just ate three squares of dark chocolate (it’s been a rough week), that I can consider myself NOT de-toxed. I need to be, though. I’ve never heard of sweet potato stew. I’m very curious about that.
Love the mind, body and spirit art work. Interesting about the detox site. I’m not vegan either but do love healthy recipes and try to eat healthy too. I’m going to check it out. Thanks for sharing.
