Beneficial Foods for Spring!
I love this rundown from @phasesacupunture of all the beneficial foods for the spring time! . .
.
Here are 5 foods recommended to eat throughout the season of spring
🥬Green Foods: During spring, it is recommended to eat foods green in color and rich in chlorophyll that help accelerate rejuvenation of the liver. This includes things like alfalfa, spirulina, chlorella, parsley, wheat grass, kale, Swiss chard and collard greens.
🌿Spring Vegetables and Herbs: peas, watercress, asparagus, barley grass, and radishes-all of these help move liver Qi and open up the liver meridian.
🍋Sour Foods: lemons, limes and grapefruit are all good choices that help cut fats that may have been stored up in the body during the winter months, while also keeping the liver Qi moving smoothly. Other sours include dill, kombucha, pickles, vinegar, and kimchi.
Naturally fermented sour foods are also beneficial as their live enzymes improve digestion.
🌱Pungents: Spring onions, garlic, scallions, turmeric, basil, cumin, fennel and pepper can help be the extra kick we need to get things flowing.
🥕A Little Sweetness: Think young vegetables such as young carrots and beets. This nourishes the blood and helps keep you vital during all the new activity. Just make sure you're cooking by stir fry or steam grilling in order to allow your body to easily digest all of the nutrients!
📍And acupuncture can help address any imbalance or health issues that are occurring due to diet, stressors, autoimmune disorders, or injury.
Face the spring with hope! ❤️

Spring is Coming!
Whenever the cherry blossoms come out, I get so excited for Spring. 💗🌱🍒
I’ve even noticed my energy perk up and my motivation to exercise increase. ✨
I have to remind myself “Don’t jump into Spring just yet!” We are very much still in the Winter cycle, and it is important to keep mellow and not over do it. We are starting to enter that Liver time of year that gets so antsy with the weather. .
The Liver is the adolescent energy of the 5 Elements, and is so easily frustrated in early spring. It just wants to get moving! But really we need to keep it slow. Eat soups and broths, get to bed as early as possible, no boot camp ;) and really continue with the tail end of hibernation mode. Don’t worry, Spring will come! 🌷🌸
