Cleansing
Frankly, our health is the most important thing we can attend to in the realm of self care. Good health helps us all. It saves money. And it makes our lives fuller, more pain-free, and more useful. Easy ways to maintain good health are simple.
1) eat fresh, local foods
2) exercise, move, breathe deeply
3) Cleanse a couple times a year. That might mean trying out Sober January every year, and/or detoxing with help from nutritionists, or other health practitioners.
In traditional Chinese medicine, each season relates to different body systems. A Spring cleanse supports the liver in eliminating toxins built up over the Winter holidays and helps with regular circulation and energy.
Tips:
- Drink lots of spring or filtered water, adding a touch of lemon or lime will help with detoxification.
- Fresh organic vegetable juicing is highly recommended. A blend of cucumber, fennel, carrot, parsley and apple is great, in season.
- Eat sweet potatoes, squash and other vegetables like beets and parsnips; Legumes like black beans, lentils, and mung beans; fresh, raw seeds and nuts; fermented foods such as saurkrauts, kimchi and kombucha
NourishMe's Spring Cleanse will take place in early April after Bald Mountain closes for the season, Sign-up now at the shop on Main Street.

The NourishMe Delicious Book Club's current read is "The Upstairs Delicatessen" by Dwight Garner. The subtitle of this memoir is "On Eating, Reading, Reading about Eating, and Eating While Reading", which seems just about right. So, let's all enjoy a comic classic. We will meet at NourishMe on Thursday, March 14 to discuss the book and decide on our next book. Everyone is welcome to join us.
Happy reading (and eating) all.

The Cigare Volant from Bonny Doon is ripe, dense, and rich but doesn't overwhelm, with over-ripeness. It drinks exceptionally well. Enjoy this lovely affordable blend. |

Reading
Why, in our affluent society, do so many people live in poverty, without access to health care, working multiple jobs and are nevertheless unable to make ends meet, with no future prospects, while the planet is burning?
In his international bestseller, Kohei Saito argues that while unfettered capitalism is often blamed for inequality and climate change, subsequent calls for “sustainable growth” and a “Green New Deal” are a dangerous compromise. Capitalism creates artificial scarcity by pursuing profit based on the value of products rather than their usefulness and by putting perpetual growth above all else. It is therefore impossible to reverse climate change in a capitalist society—more: the system that caused the problem in the first place cannot be an integral part of the solution.
