The saying is true… you are what you eat!
It is very true that foods have an emotional & physical energy around them. In my experience, living and raw foods such as plants and raw fruit will make you feel more alive.
Processed and dead food such as chemical-laden packaged foods or meat can bring you down. I always try to eat foods that will fuel my body, and give me energy!
Below you will find my suggestions for foods that bring up your energy — physically, emotionally, and spiritually… and foods that will weigh you down.
Foods that weigh you down — AKA “Low vibe” foods:
Genetically modified (GMO) food, and conventional food that has been treated with chemicals and pesticides
Sugars and sweeteners (artificial)
Coffee
Soda
Alcohol
Meat, fish, poultry
Processed, packaged, canned, and fast food
Unhealthy oils, like canola, cottonseed, margarine, and vegetable oils
Frozen foods
Pasteurized cow’s milk, yogurt, and cheese
Cooked foods, deep fried foods, and microwaved food
Foods that will give you energy — AKA “high vibe” foods:
Fresh, certified organic fruits and vegetables
Natural supplements
Herbal teas
Herbs and spices
Pure or filtered water — reverse osmosis or freshly collected spring water are best
Healthy oils, like olive oil and coconut oil
Nuts and seeds
Fermented foods
Raw chocolate
Raw honey and maple syrup
Legumes
Grains such as buckwheat, brown rice, amaranth, and spelt
I’d love to know, comment below if you eat “mostly high vibe” or if you see room for improvement in your way of eating!
QUICK TIP: We do meatless Mondays at our house, and we cook with primarily organic fruits and veggies as well as from our local farmers markets whenever possible!
