In the spirit of Earth Day, green is definitely the color of the moment.  Let us celebrate green!

Green is the color of life.

Green is a way of life.

Green is a fuel for life.  

Clearly, Earth Day is devoted to caring for our beautiful planet and embracing the environmental aspects of green living.  Why not take this one step further and celebrate the value of green nourishment as well. 

Green is a fuel for life. From kale to seaweed, greens are truly one of Mother Nature’s gifts for us to enjoy.  Greens spring out of the ground and reach up to the sky, offering a contagious and uplifting, energy. Put these on your plate and this energy will be easily assimilated into your body.   The nutritional benefits of greens are endless and the saying “if you’re green inside you’re clean inside” is one of my personal mantras.   Greens are beyond doubt one of the cornerstones of good health.

The green that surrounds us nourishes us as well.  Nourishment from the natural world is invaluable; this is the essence of holistic nutrition.  At my home in the jungle, I revel in the sway of the green palm trees of the jungle. I run along green jungle ridges on my morning trail run.  I do yoga beneath a canopy of green. I stand up paddle board alongside a glowing green coastline!  I am always eager to see the green that awaits me around the next bend in the road of life.

Green is also a friend. Green life surrounds me in a comforting embrace, a reassurance that I am never alone; there is life all around me.   I am empowered by green, reminded of the magic and potential of life. Yet, at the same time I find calm and tranquility, reminded of the need to be present and get slow.

So let’s celebrate green! Green inside, outside, upside down. I am known as the “jungle girl” and I love green. 

Are you ready to begin a new healthy relationship with your body? Adding some green to your life is a great way to get started and I’m ready to support you!  My holistic health coaching program focuses on sustainable weight loss, increasing energy, listening to your unique body and taking care of yourself.
