✨Hey y’all! For this Top Tier Temple Tuesday, I want to shine the light on FOOD, which is, and will forever be, the primary tool of health & healing in my book.
✨YES! Exercise, sunlight, meditation, treatments (both conventional & holistic) and the right mindset are invaluable, but what you’re DOMINANTLY fueling and nourishing your body with will massively dictate how you look and feel.
✨While healthy decisions (ie. Consuming mostly fruits, veggies, nuts, grains, lean meats etc)should certainly be at the forefront of your daily choices, please know that healthy choices can ALSO include enjoying a delightful slice of cake that your grandpa made with love.
It can also include enjoying a soul food plate that the church ladies made for the congregation after service.
It can also mean savoring a fried fish plate during your university’s homecoming.
It can also mean having a couple glasses of champagne with your homegirls while you laugh your butts off over any and everything.
✨Ofc you should not overdo fried foods, sugar, or alcohol but being a human is about having the full gamut of experiences . It’s about feeding your spirit and when you decide to enjoy these things *sparingly* & especially in good company, while your mood is positive, joyous, and high, it can truly become nourishment!
To keep it simple. I like the 80/20 rule when it comes to food. 80% of our intake should be whole, single-ingredient, nutrient -dense foods.
20% “forbidden, fun foods” that you should eat only eat sparingly, WITHOUT guilt, and preferably while your mood/vibe is high😉
