A fruitful and prosperous May: “The Axis of the Year May”
- My goal is to be fit, healthy and full of joy of life. What I eat, what I do and what I think influences me to achieve balance and flexibility and avoid tension.
The garden of the house is bright and colorful. The walnut is in full bloom and growth, the branches have slowly begun to be covered with leaves. The leaves allow photosynthesis, which is the process used by the tree to produce its own food.
This is my proposal: Connect with the Earth, with nature, “Land”. Take care of my difficult land through nature. Eat well and move your body in nature: walk barefoot in the grass, walk in the river water, practice the forest bath, listen to the sounds of nature, take sea baths. Spring is the time to start moving the body, exercising, strengthening and supplementing the muscles.
In May I want to emphasize the importance of roots, vegetables with green colors, and mushrooms.
The Radishes
The radish is a vegetable of the cruciferous family. It has a spicy taste and a crispy texture. The leaves and root are edible and can be red, white or other colors.
How does it help us?
The leaves are rich in vitamin C, calcium and iron.
The roots are good sources of vitamin C, function as antioxidants and help strengthen the immune system. They are rich in soluble fibers and, being crispy, make you feel satiated by chewing. They help to cleanse the body, eliminate toxins through the activation of the liver and kidneys.They improve digestion, relieve constipation and help maintain a healthy intestinal flora.
How to eat and prepare:
Leaves in salad, soup, cream, fried...
The roots are eaten raw, in salad or as appetizers. They can also be cooked or burned.
They can be cured with vinegar or added to snacks. They are also used in sauces.
Mushrooms, Earthworms
They have a lot of water, are rich in fiber and have quality proteins.They are rich in vitamins (A,B,C) and minerals (iron, phosphorus, iodine, magnesium and selenium).
How to eat and prepare:
With fresh garlic and egg, it forms a special spring dish. You can eat it with Italian pasta, or paellan or salad, but I don’t recommend eating raw mushrooms.
Fresh garlic
Fresh garlic is an essential ingredient in the kitchen and can be used in various ways, raw or roasted. With an intense and spicy flavor, it can enhance the flavor of many dishes and also benefits health.
The beet
The root is round and red. The leaves come out of his neck and are edible. The red meat, on the other hand, is very bright. They taste delicious.
How does it help us?
We have a healthy, light and satisfying vegetable. It is an excellent source of folic acid and vitamin C.
It contains rubidium, a mineral element that can contribute to a better assimilation of other nutrients by contributing to digestion.
It is an excellent source of potassium for cardiovascular health, and potassium is a mineral that helps maintain normal blood pressure.
It is an excellent food for athletes: it is rich in inert carbohydrates and mineral salts; it is an ideal food to obtain energy before exercising.
I do not recommend...
The beet is rich in oxalic acid. It is not recommended for people who have a tendency to form oxalate stones in the kidney.
How to eat and prepare:
With salad, hummus, gazpacho and beet juice or smoothies.
