Halloween is just about here. Ghosts and goblins will be everywhere. Fall season is a good time to make changes in your diet. You should start eating more legumes, root vegetables, things like squash, pumpkin, sweet potato and warming soups.
Here’s a great root vegetable soup recipe for the season:
Get two sweet potatoes, a small pumpkin and a butternut squash. Cut the squash and the pumpkin in half and deseed them. Put the sweet potato, pumpkin and squash in the oven at 350 degrees for one hour or until soft. Once cooked, scoop the meat out of all the roasted veggies and put them in a high-power blender. Add ½ a cup of coconut cream and 8 oz. of coconut water. Season with pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and blend until creamy. Serve in a bowl and garnish with pomegranate seeds or dried cranberries.
It’s delicious, nutritious and will keep you warm throughout the fall and winter. In the summer, our spirits are light and airy. As the seasons change, we want to be more grounded and centered and even change our exercise to more internal exercise like the flying crane qigong: http://rechargingqigong.com/products/flying-crane-qi-gong/
Internal exercise keeps your organs strong and healthy. This exercise can prevent the winter blues, the cold and flus and keep you in good hopes for the holidays.
