The JADE APPLE blogging is BACK!!! Let's start with food!

Okay, okay...let's try this blogging thing again!

So many wonderful things happen here at the studio, and we are constantly learning and expanding through this life of yoga - it would be great to share it with all of our lovely community.

There has been much talk lately about diet.  A restricted, healthy diet is certainly an integral part of yoga.  Of course, each one of us has our own belief systems and dietary limitations.  Following some of the principles of Ayurveda can be beneficial for a diet.

(AYURVEDA = Ayurveda is a wholistic system of medicine from India that uses a constitutional model. Its aim is to provide guidance regarding food and lifestyle so that healthy people can stay healthy and folks with health challenges can improve their health.)

That said, it is up to each of us to find the right diet system that works best for us.  Obviously whole foods, non-processed foods and such are the way to go for us all.

I recently came across this article and wanted to share it with you:

"TOP 10 GMO Foods To Avoid"  http://www.nationofchange.org/top-10-gmo-foods-avoid-1343568178

It's worth a look through.

For me, I've been wrestling with a wonderful diagnosis and need for treatment for my new friend....ARTHRITIS.   It is a common notion that diet can have huge impact on arthritis, regardless of what type of arthritis you have.   My research has lead me in many directions, but all directions seem to lead back to one core idea - healthy eating can greatly reduce inflammation and symptoms of arthritis.  Okay, cool!  So now I just need to put down the potato chips and pick up the kale...I can do that!

Please share your experiences of dieting and eating for better health with us.  :)
