YOUR HEALTH IN WINTER

One of the easiest ways to stay healthy in any season is to eat fresh seasonal foods. A good guideline about what to eat during any season is to build your meals from what is available at your local farmer’s market. There are also the added bonuses that shopping in this way is better for farming and better for the environment.

According to Oriental medicine, the season of winter is associated with the element of water.  Water is supported by all salty foods and dark foods, foods that are purple, black or blue.  Also, fresh fish and salted fish, salted meat, caviar and other fish eggs, shellfish, pork, eggs, beans, seaweed and sea vegetables, soy sauce, miso, figs, blueberries, blackberries, eggplant, kale, wild rice, walnuts and black sesame seeds are water foods. These foods have a softening effect and promote moisture and calming of the body.  They most benefit thin, dry and nervous people.
