Living in sync with the seasons for health and wellbeing

Adapting our lifestyle to match the seasons is one of the best ways to maintain good health and helps our bodies adapt to the changing and sometimes hostile, environment around us. A lot of it is common sense, but because of the widespread availability of foods from all over the world, diets no longer need to consist of local, seasonal produce. Food is medicine, and if we use it right, it can help us prevent seasonal health issues, and maintain health and a sense of wellbeing throughout the whole year. It’s also a great way to connect with the world around us and practice mindfulness in what we do and what we eat.
