"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.
