Energetic Nutrition: Green Beans and Asparagus
The energy science discipline of nutrition states that not every food on the planet is fair game
But a corollary states that some foods can be used by everyone Possibly chocolate, I hope?? Unfortunately not
But green beans and asparagus fall into that category in which foods can be used by everyone What makes them such special veggies?
From an energy view both these along with cilantro and leaks, bring grounding for Vata, the energy pattern of mobility, cooling for the hot quality of Pitta, and the dry vibrational frequency to decrease the liquid congestive quality of Kapha
So we can see that the energy view of foods is completely different from that of the matter science nutritional approach to food
"But it's so different" we whine It will require us to change how we view foods! Just too much of a stretch
Yes, that's all possibly true for some but how's the present situation working for us? I would submit not very well We need a different system of nutrition which answers our physiologic needs more completely
What can we take from the above
1 For a food to be complete and balancing for everyone it has to effect each major energy pattern in a balancing way
2 Few foods can balance the primary energy patterns in such a unique way
3 Using asparagus and green beans with leaks and cilantro this time of year when they are locally in season is incredible nutrition for us!!
So my dear readers bon appetit! To health as a Skill Love DrBill
