Snow on Tuesday, sun and 60 degrees by Sunday.  It's November and I think winter is here.  For some it means chamomile, curry lentil soup and chunky, cozy scarves.  Did I forget a 'c'?  Ahhhhh, yes, comfort food.  Enter pimento mac and cheese, honey butter fried chicken and thai chili cream corn to keep warm.  While these foods are definitely warm and comforting, my body is quickly feeling the effects.  Sometimes we need to go back to our childhood ways of eating to remind us to get back on track and eating whole foods.

So, today I made a cleansing salad for the lymphatic system.  Click here to read more about keeping your pipes clean 'aka' the lymph.  


1.  Add red colored foods to your plate like tomatoes, beets and strawberries.  

2.  Don't forget your greens.  Try kale, collards, arugula or spinach.  Or dice up a mix of all 4 for an extra boost.  All that roughage helps to regulate your digestion and elimination, and keeps your gut clean, by sweeping all the nasties out.  A happy gut is an extremely important element to your overall health, so take care of it! 

3.  Try cutting down on inflammatory foods such as dairy and gluten. See Dr.Weil’s Anti-Inflammatory Food Pyramid to get you started. And make sure you are eating PLENTY of veggies and fruits.  

4.  Choose a high quality protein like chicken, grass fed & grass finished beef or beans.
