Winter Nutrition Tips
It is pretty much a given in our culture that at this time of year we tend to overindulge in types of foods and liquids that may add a few unwanted pounds. To augment that tendency, many of us are more inactive due to the season, the colder temperatures, and the overall attitude that goes along with the winter seasonal quality of a more inward, introspective time. If we were more in touch with the aspect of introspection and truly took it to heart, it may actually help us to align and stay on a course that honors our own best interests. All too often though, with the hype of Christmas and all of its social activities we tend to add more distraction, which in the end pulls us even farther off center and our natural inclination to be still for a time.
It is important I feel, to allow for a little quiet time, especially during a season which we need to conserve our reserves. If you observe nature she is always letting herself rest and renew at this time, often to the extent of complete dormancy or hibernation. Nature can teach us everything really, and at a time when we live lives quite detached from Nature, especially our own nature, we could perhaps take some advice.
