San Diego Nutrition and Health

Merry Christmas! 

Over the course of the last few months, we’ve talked a lot about the foods that nourish us and provide the vitamins and minerals that bring good health.  And as important as these foods are, there is another group of “foods” that are just as important and if not more so, to our well-being and health.  These are the foods of love, a meaningful career, nourishing relationships, positive self-image and spirituality.  And so as we close one year and begin a new one, I would invite you to look at your core foods, the primary foods in your life.  Is anything missing?  Is there an area you’d like to nourish?  Maybe it’s time to make a career change or strengthen a relationship in your life.  Maybe it’s time to extend more self-love and take care of you.  Whatever it may be for you, may you be blessed with the insight to know where to begin and the courage to keep going.  Change happens one baby-step at a time. 

I’ll close with a quote from one of my favorite Christmas stories is The Grinch Who Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss. 

“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so?  It came without ribbons.  It came without tags.  It came without packages, boxes or bags.  And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore.  Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before.  What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store.  What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.” ~Dr. Seuss

May the spirit of the season continue with you throughout the coming year.  All the best for a prosperous, healthy and happy 2008!
