Eat Your Beet Out!

What's in a Beet? Full of potassium, calcium, dare I say... ANTI-OXIDANTS? Why do we care? We went many many years not knowing the scientific underlying of our food and survived. I call this phenomena instinct (not sure if the cavemen had it, remember Brendan Fraser eating toothpaste in Encino Man?) Many Americans seem to be obsessed with getting enough of the correct vitamins, minerals, fats, calcium, sugars, calories, proteins, omega 3's, anti-oxidants, probiotics, blah blah blah, boring! In my humble opinion, a beet is filled with tasty yummyness that can be used to brighten up your plate, your body and your life! There is no way one can feel satisfied and full after feeling stressed about whether they in took the correct amount of STUFF. You think french fries will cause you a heart attack? Try STRESS on for size. YEEESSSHH- that stuff'll kill ya. My idea of a healthy meal is something colorful, flavorful, and satisfying.

And there it is people- the tie to the title of this here blog. Beeting Heart Soup. What? Well, the kinds of ideas and theories and current events I will post on this here blog will be about beets (not only beets, silly) but also whole food, the art of eating, how eating and yoga are connected, and how these all relate to your spiritual well being. What you eat affects how your body functions. If you eat well, your heart functions correctly. You can move, breathe, and evolve to the highest and most perfect potential that your body and cells are capable of. Goodbye Disease! Hello Happiness!! Your heart center is also the center of your heart chakra, responsible for compassion and love. If you have a functioning heart then you most certainly will have functioning compassions and loves. All of this combined with a funny play on words (get it, beeting instead of beating heart, like your heart is pumping beets, like, your heart is pumping LOVE from delicious food!). It's just one big jolly mix of warm soul-lifting soup. YUM.


What I mean to say is, you are what you eat. If you eat a carrot, you'll turn into a carrot. If you eat a hamburger, you'll turn into a hamburger. Do the math! HAH!
But in all seriousness if you want to experience love and spiritual groundedness, then you must eat love and spiritual groundedness (unless you think love is a big ole chocolate easter bunny, but ummm, we will get to that later). This blog is about how to eat love.

Okay. If you're still confused on what's the point, then just keep following along and you will pick up on what I mean. Urban gardening, recipes, omnivore vs. the alternative, digestion, yoga, alcohol, foodies, cooking, movement, love, spiritual, chakras, ayurveda, doshas, heart center, well being, whole, radical, chocolate; this is just a taste of some ideas.

I am by no means an expert on these topics. I am a mere curious soul, avid reader, and one who loves life and happiness and wants to share some good news.

Oh and, I LOVE FOOD.




Love,
