Eat Right for You

Intuitive eating, using Ayurvedic medicine, and eating right for my blood type (A positive) helps me feel less energy depleted to feeling more vitality and ease with my digestive system. I used to want to fall asleep right after eating certain meals. Now, I feel like I have the stamina to continue on with my day with little tweaks to my lifestyle choices. I used to eat on the go smoothies, nuts, berries, apples, and jerky. Now, I picnic / sit down for my meal as often as possible in a serene environment. I choose foods that make me feel nourished. Here are a few energy foods that we enjoy in our family:

Energy food idea list:

Pumpkin muffins (homemade / low-glycemic recipe)

Granola (with pumpkin seeds, chia, flax, and / or quinoa)

Adrenal Support Food / Drink Combinations:

Coconut water, banana and spinach

Pear, mache and berries

 Berries, honey, and celery juice

 Apples, dates and kale

 Grapes, banana and red leaf lettuce

 Cauliflower, apple, and cucumber

 Avocados with sea salt

I also eat what is in season. I like to purchase from local markets or use the EWG/Weston Price list for name brands that are trustworthy. I peel off the skin if I am unsure about the farming practices and then I steam the given produce. I also stick with low glycemic fruits like wild berries.
