Boost your immune system

The food we buy in shops and restaurants don’t always contains so much vitamins and minerals. Many vegetables and fruits are grown in bad soil and maybe also sprayed with toxics. If you eat at the big food chains like Mc Donalds, you can be sure it is not healthy. We are also exposed to a lot of stress, radiation, fear and negativ input from media. Very often we dont have time to relax, breathe and listen to what our body needs.  We do the same movements too many time, use the same muscles, running around stressed and out of balance both physical and psychological. All this together make us vulnerable and an easy target for a virus or a disease of any kind. At Spainriding we pick as much as possible for our dinner in the garden or buy it from local natural farmers. We also use herbs and wild plants. Every season has its specialties.  Oranges, tomatoes, cabbage, sallad, herbs, marrows, jerusalem artichokes, chili, pomme granates, garlic, onions etc.  If you want you can eat vegetarian, vegan or free from gluten. A glas of wine is concidered an antioxidant 🙂

Awareness of breath, body, feelings, emotions and/or thoughts (in sitting meditation practice or just during daily activities) You can do a walking meditation or just try to be totaly present while eating, chew slowly, really experience the aroma, taste and texture.
