What Nourishes You?

Nourish Life
October 22, 2020

To nourish is to provide the materials necessary for life and growth. The body is nourished by food and good health requires good nutrition. But there is more to nourishment than food.

The other aspects of our lives depend on different kinds of nourishment. Human beings are complex. We are often in conflict with ourselves and therefore our various appetites and longings are in conflict. So the question arises: which aspects of our lives, our selves, do we want to cultivate, and therefore feed and nourish?

Within the parameters of “good nutrition” there are wide variations in diet, ways of preparing food, tastes, and habits of eating that can provide for physical health. It is the same with nourishment for the other aspects of our lives. There is never just one way for everyone. What nourishes us as an individual—what “materials,” experiences, environments, relationships, promote our sense of being alive and our well-being? What feeds us on other levels besides the physical requirements of the body? What nurtures our growth as both human and spiritual beings, allowing us to blossom as individuals? What hampers our growth, impedes our life forces, wastes our resources, or simply leaves us in a state of stagnation?

The materials that life offers for nourishment are as infinite as life itself; we do our part by choosing carefully. When you understand what nourishes you, you have a key to your own self-care and well-being.

Do you want to know more about how you can start living a nourished life? Book a discovery session with us today.

We’d love to help you and see you live life to the fullest.

START OVER How do you start life all over again a START OVER

How do you start life all over again at a time of pandemic? 

Is it possible to find purpose and fulfilment without conforming to society’s definition of “success” and begin to ask what a meaningful life looks like on your terms?
 
I'm continuing the conversation via my blogpost for Nourish Life today.

Remember my mung bean sprouts last week? I sproute Remember my mung bean sprouts last week? I sprouted 1.5 cups because I keep forgetting ang dami pala nun when soaked and sprouted! So I cooked only a third of it for lunch today.

With added carrots, brocolli, cauli, squash and alugbati, leftover local white corn plus curry spices from scratch, glad to have eaten with the fam a simple, affordable and nutrient dense meal today.  Served it with freshly popped papadams.

Have a blessed week guys! Steady lang tayo ;)

SPROUTED MUNG BEANS Day 1. Preparing the beans fo SPROUTED MUNG BEANS

KFC-INSPIRED VEG CHICK'M We rarely deep-fry but f KFC-INSPIRED VEG CHICK'M

We rarely deep-fry but for lunch today, we did because we wanted to find out if teens would even notice it's not real chicken 😉

Guess what? The 11-spices worked!

We're currently designing a nutrition program for children and teens and this will probably make it to our suggested recipes. Finding ways to make it gluten free.

Any suggestions?
WHERE'S THE TOFU? I'll be doing another 21-day el WHERE'S THE TOFU?

I'll be doing another 21-day elimination diet soon and today, I'm challenging myself if I'd react to my food intolerance sa tofu, seeds beans.

Why challenge myself? 

By challenging my intolerances, I'm.able to identify my true food allergies vs intolerances. I'm learning to be more mindful by listening to how my body reacts to food, stressors, etc. It's another way of healing one's self.

My health goal is not weightloss but to achieve optimum health and one of the fundamentals I've learned in functional medicine is the importance of diversifying our diet - kulay your plate!

At 12:30  noon, I realized I should cook something quick (remember, lahat kami WFH). I checked our ref and pulled out whatever's there. Sauted local onions, ginger, garlic, fermented beans, mushrooms, bell peppers, french beans and sesame seeds with coldpressed EVCO. Served it with biodynamically-grown red rice.

So hungry, our silken tofu is still cooking.

If you need help with your food allergies and/or intolerances, or share the same goal of achieving optimum health, drop a line or DM me.

Lunch!
