The Nourishing Meme
Here are five questions to stimulate conversation, and to motivate you into a cultivating a more nourishing lifestyle. Thanks to Joanne Hay of Nourished for beginning the conversation.
Here are the questions:
- What is the most nourishing thing you frequently do for your self?
- For your health, what will you never compromise on?
- Where do you get most of your health information?
- What single whole food or supplement has turned your health around the most?
- What is your favourite natural therapy?
(note that answers are distinctly personal and should not be construed as advice or similar).
- Time out - a chance to eat slowly, pray, contemplate, or converse - away from the rigours and demands of a busy life.
- Exercise as a part of life. Come what may - I hope I will always regularly pursue some form of physical activity.
- Everywhere. The web, the library, and the some of the incredibly well-informed people who comment on Diet Blog.
- Can only speculate here: A reduction in dairy intake, and an increase in natural oils (flaxseed and nuts).
- My garden on a sunny day.
If you have a few moments to think, I would love to hear your answers.

3. What Diet Blog said: "Everywhere. The web, the library, and the some of the incredibly well-informed people who comment on Diet Blog."
4. Eliminating sugar and other processed carbs
5. Sleep.
1. RELAXING. Enojoying just sitting and reading the paper, a book, or a magazine. Going to Barnes & Nobel and being in that relaxed atmosphere - reading and sipping coffee on the couch chairs - is rejuvinating.
Reply2.Exercise and nutrition. I will always make time for hard training and cardio - it reduces my stress and secures me mentally. Nutrition also - i'm a vegetarian and my diet is organic, high in protein and whole wheat, and full of fiber. When I used to eat crap every day - i felt horrible.
3. The internet, magazines and books. TRUSTED sources only.
4. Eliminated sugar and starches, and increasing all kinds of fresh raw vegetables.

Reply2) Weight training and feeding myself to progress in it.

4) Three-way tie between beef, raw eggs (all yolks included), and raw milk (full-fat).
