“Water itself is naturally elusive and resists definition. It can hold any shape, and yet cannot
itself be grasped and held once and for all. It appears to have no boundaries, and yet will find a
passage around any dam or obstruction wherever it can. Despite this, however, it forms the
greater proportion of the solid structure of all living things on the surface of the earth, and
without water nothing could live or grow.” ~J.R. Worsley

Food Tips:
Always eat cooked vegetables and room temperature or warm foods during the winter season. Avoid eating raw vegetables, salads and smoothies. Use warming spices such as cardamom, cinnamon and ginger will help to stimulate digestion. Eat dark foods such as black sesame seeds, black beans and lentils to reinforce kidney energy. Ginger tea helps warm and nourish the body and aids sluggish winter digestion. Potatoes, pumpkin, brussel sprouts, beets, parsnips and turnips are great for roasting or including in soups and stews. Sautéed dark leafy greens like kale, spinach and other collards.
