Three Benefits to Eating Seasonally
With transportation and technology, here in the United States, we pretty much have access to any fruits or vegetables we want all year long. But there may something to the way our ancestors used to have to eat… seasonally! Today I want to talk about three benefits to eating a seasonally-based diet.
Why might I do an elimination diet?
Recently, a family member reached out looking for guidance with an elimination diet. She had just received the results of a food allergy test and now had a LONG list of foods to avoid and was feeling a bit overwhelmed. This got me thinking, that there are probably more people out there who are considering an elimination diet, but are a bit intimidated.
You can go with this, or you can go with that!
It can sometimes feel overwhelming to attempt a meal that is healthy but also tastes good and still allows you to feel like you are indulging rather than punishing yourself. That is why I thought it might be helpful to share some of my simple substitutes that I use with everyday recipes to make them a little bit healthier without feeling like I’m totally depriving myself.
Which Diet Is Best For Me?
Paleo, keto, vegetarian, low-carb, South Beach diet, Mediterranean, plant-based… all of the different diets and “lifestyles” can feel a bit overwhelming when trying to figure out what the best eating option is for you! Often times these eating lifestyles are presented as a one-size fits all magic bullet, but scientific research suggests that depending on the state of your autonomic nervous system, one way might be better than another.
