Thanks for the effort you took to expand upon this topic so thoroughly. I look forward to future post.
The Natural Health field is growing at a phenomenal rate throughout the world. And millions of Americans — aware of the detrimental effects of drug-based western medicine — are joining health oriented people around the globe in embracing an alternative natural approach. Encompassing the core building blocks of all living organisms, an holistic lifestyle promotes the building, repair, and maintenance of health. Kingdom college of natural health

It is good to read what others have experienced and to equate their experiences with my own. I have found Maia’s advice to be square on and have learned a lot about nutrition. Eating local seasonal foods makes a great deal of sense, as it is not only good for my pocketbook and my family’s health; it also helps support the local economy.

Now that we are into spring I am excited over plans to raise our own salads for the summer and also for the opening of the farmer’s markets in our area. Thanks to Maia I have learned that a fresh salad makes me feel a whole lot better than a sugary treat does.

I made this very simple (and delicious!) recipe with dinner tonight and it was great! I am inspired by Maia’s encouragement to eat with the seasons – this idea is new to me and I feel better when I shop and cook with this in mind. My family does, too. (everthing tastes better, as well) It really harkens back to the way my grandmother cooked … she shopped the same day for fresh ingredients and then made amazing meals that were full of love.

Thanks, Andrea! You’re absolutely right–not only is seasonal produce fresh and local, but because it doesn’t have to travel so far, it gets harvested nearer to optimum ripeness and is more nutrient dense.

Enjoy the asparagus!

Thank you for your seasonal reminder. I just recently completed a holistic nutrition course and before that I never really thought about eating with the seasons. It makes perfect sense. The produce of the season is usually local, very fresh, and complements our own internal seasons. Are we contributing to global warming when we have our winter grapes flown in from Chile?? Can we live without grapes until they are available closer to home??? Have we lost or are we losing our ability to really enjoy what is locally seasonably available?

I love oven-roasted asparagus – in fact I am loving most vegies simply oven-roasted with a drizzle olive oil. Thanks for your recipe.

Cheers, Andrea
