The Nutrition Cycle

We are in the warmer months and that can only mean one thing for the "hunter/gatherer" minded: Locally grown fruits and vegetables are abundant so gather and EAT these foods to fire up your nutrition.
We know that we can get lean grass fed meats and free range chicken and fish ALL YEAR LONG, right?
Now is a time when we should FOCUS on the gathering idea where we set up our meal plan to look something like this: Mon-Wed-Fri we consume Free range eggs, locally grown lettuces, carrots, cabbage, string beans, beats,(Matt's Slaw) strawberries, blueberries, raw nuts and seeds. These foods will activate your enzyme systems, vitamin and mineral pools, kick up alkalinity(your nervous system THRIVES in a slightly base or alkaline environment) and, will most definitely drive a big surge of energy back into your life; real imortant stuff especially after a weekend of partying and full-on goofing off. And you know you will goof off on summer weekends...we all do! Now, a little change up; let's say by Thursday you start putting the hunter concepts into play by eating lean, grass fed and hormone free meats, free range chicken and fish along with The BIG ASS SALAD (Matt Jennings Boot Campers know what a BAS is). Hey, this is just in time for the weekend when you will be sparking up the grill (and throwin' down the margaritas.) To me cycling our food choices in this way makes sense because it is only during the summer we can easily find locally harvested fruits and vegetables that would other wise need to be transported from other states and countries during our colder months. Try to look at this idea of nutrtion as a seasonal nutrition cycle. And from a common sense approach, you could probably assume that mother nature has a way of saying that if these nutritious foods are readily and appropriately available to our region now, we should probably also assume that we would be best inclined to consume them now and, in large quantities before the harvest ends. The long and short of this message is to just do your best to follow the summer's nutrition cycle and drown your body in the most nourishing and energizing foods you will consume all year.
