Keeping warm ... MORE+culture

[Guest guest]

-Elchanan,

it is my first attempt in winter.

I have had some vegetable & bean soups that have made me feel very

nourished & warm...but I may not be noticing that I am more tired than

if I had just had raw foods.

I'll keep it in mind and keep trying to eat more raw ;Like Storm I am

going by my instincts

I appreciate feed back from others-thank you to all who responded.

 

and of course not that this matters to me since I don't eat white

flour etc...but it seems that food quality gets worse in many

households & places of work during winter months...

Christmas cookies etc & this is during a time of year when esp those

of us in colder climates need to be carful not to get sick since fresh

air & sunshine are in limited quantities as well as fresh food.

Em
