SUPPER TO END THE DAY.

.....Make it light.

So, la, la, we’ve come from breakfast to lunch to dinner. After roaming around on some raw foods sites, I must say that some present a strong case for just starting the day with fruit and others talk of the healing and miraculous powers of the

Green Smoothie,
which is a salad in a blender, say kale and spinach and some parsley, with some fruit to sweeten it, like pears, bananas, apples. (Again, if you are diabetic or into a Candida reductions program, maybe some stevia instead of the fruit.)


Anyway, you can hear from many people lots of ways to go, but I’d say: figure out a way to start the day eating raw and end the day eating light.

Remember the old word: supper, that was what they used to call the night meal. Supper was for soup. It was light. The main meal was in the middle of the day, and just a little soup, or a snack of fruit, or a salad to finish you up tidy, this was a way of life far more healthy than the big rich meals with which people cram themselves to hide from whatever it is that they wish to hide from.



So, maybe you’d like to try to eat lighter at night. A raw soup of carrots and ginger and some fennel or cucumbers. A cooked soup of some odds and ends in the vegetable world. Another Green Smoothie. Some fruit and a cup of tea. Try something like this, easy and experimental. See what happens.

See if you need less sleep.

See if you wake without the usual grogginess. See if you feel excited about life in the morning.

It’s all an experiment.

Enjoy.
