Dear Friends,
How do you feel about:
sour foods?
tangy foods?
bitter foods?
zesty foods?
savory foods?
In a fast-paced lifestyle, we often choose fast-paced foods that are sweet, soft, and 'comforting'.
This doesn't just include 'Fast-Food'.
Many boxed & canned, ready-made, and restaurant- or store-prepared foods contain large, quantities of sodium chloride (NaCl) or 'table salt'; added, synthetic, colors & flavors; preservatives; sweeteners, etc. that seemingly, taste good to our mouths but are actually, dampening our palate and contributing to nutritional imbalance.
Naturally, sour, tangy, bitter, zesty, and savory foods 'spice up' our palate; clean our organs; help blood to flow well; regulate body temperature; assist with homeostatic processes & balancing electrolytes; fight unhealthy, microbes and other infection-causing agents; and keep our taste buds sharply, attuned to the many flavors, smells, consistencies, and sensations in a well-rounded diet.
Some excellent examples...
SOUR FOODS include:
grapefruits, lemons, limes, sour cherries, vinegars
TANGY FOODS:
apricots, plums, mangos, papayas
BITTER FOODS:
turnip greens, watercress, kale, parsley,
ZESTY FOODS:
radishes, turnips, cayenne, paprika
SAVORY FOODS:
cumin, curry, oregano, basil
Try lowering your salt & sugar intake and adding more herbs, spices, and palate-stimulating foods to your diet for one week and see how you feel!
As always, please, share your thoughts, favorite recipes, and requests on our group wall.

Peace, Love & Healing from the Big Easy,
