Our bodies are our conduits for experiencing this life. It makes sense that caring for them from a place of love is a worthy investment for us. Self care is part of wholehearted living for both our body and our soul. Sometimes, when people talk about self care, they mention expensive hair products and elaborate pedicures. At Find the Magic, we are big fans of the kind of soul filling self care that is more about true fulfillment (think meditation, time with God, feeding our intellect, etc.). So, when it comes to our bodies, it makes sense that we like the idea of going beyond image based self care and going deeper into truly nourishing our body with foods and love. In this episode, Ali Essig, a plant-based holistic nutritionist and educator, gives us lots of priceless information on how vegetables and fruit are a beautiful, accessible form of self care. She gives practical tips on how to incorporate more of these life improving ingredients into our family’s eating habits in a really simple and reachable way.
