Spring is just around the corner. This tends to get us thinking about “spring cleaning” whether it is home, career or our body. Traditionally, our ancestors did not have the choice or the convenience to go to the local store to purchase their food. Instead they were avid “Seasonal Eaters”, putting away food for the winter until nature would start providing once again in the spring. The availability of food corresponded exactly with what our bodies required to be healthy. Fall foods are rich in minerals and stable vitamins to sustain us throughout the winter. These include root vegetables, squash, seeds and wild game. Spring is when our bodies start to release the stores of nutrients and toxins from the dense foods and nature provides us with fresh greens to help detoxify our bodies naturally. Foods like dandelions, nettles and many succulents are natural liver cleansers.
