Summer is a time for growth and activity!



"The smell and taste of things remain poised a
long time, like souls, ready to remind us...."
Marcel Proust
In the summer, it is a time for consuming more liquids as well as more raw, fresh fruits and vegetables.  Typically we eat a lighter diet with higher water content foods and we are usually more active.  It is wonderful to be outdoors exercising and getting that fresh air.

Summer is a good season to experiment with special diets, such as fasting, or a raw food diet.
