Physically, emotionally, spiritually and environmentally, we all need a spring clean-up! Like a tree after winter, we thirst for energy to ‘’rebirth’’ when spring season comes.

Here are seven steps to help you to FEEL and BE better and to celebrate the new season.

Drink juicing vegetables

Drinking juicy vegetables is a superb way to fortify your body with essential nutrients. This will increase your intake of chlorophyll, which is known to help detoxify and heal the body and build and purify the blood, as it contains a unique structure similar to hemoglobin, the substance that transports oxygen through the blood.

Increase raw food in your diet

Did you know that raw food is digested in one-half to one-third the time compared to cooked food? So that’s a great way to give your digestive system a much needed break, allowing it to clear out waste that has built up over time.

Include fermented foods

Sauerkraut, kimchi, tempeh, miso and kefir are a great source of good bacteria, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. These micronutrients will help each one of your cells to eliminate toxins.

Exercise Regularly 

The human body is a machine made to move. A morning or after-lunch fast walk in nature – this could be a park close to your office – experiencing your connection with nature while integrating tips #5 and #6.

Practice Mindfulness

You don’t have to meditate for three hours per day. Simply do NOTHING for a few small minutes, notice your breath and enjoy being YOU.

Express Gratitude

Every day, express gratitude for all the small things in your life. Science says that this is a very powerful exercise to energize yourself at a cellular level, literally!

Declutter!

Clutter is an energy stealer. Decluttering will decrease anxiety, stress, frustration and even guilt. A messy environment = a stressed mind!

Happy and healthy spring, Jessica & Bruno.
