Add some Re-Fresh-Mint to your life!
As temperatures soar this summer, add some additional *cool* to your already hip nature is by adding some re-fresh-mint to your life.
Peppermint and spearmint are among the most common and grow effortlessly and easily during this time. Luckily, in South Florida, we’re able to grow this wonderfully fragrant herb year round. With over 2,000 varieties of mint, visit your local farmers market and ask for luscious chocolate mint!
Mint also provides relief for common indigestion by relaxing the muscles thereby preventing intestinal spasms. It’s refreshing taste blends well with many other fruits and vegetables.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy, summertime relates to red hot fire! Explosiveness. Think ... fireworks. The simple addition of some fresh mint cools the body and freshens the breath.
Add a few fresh mint leaves to green tea (warm or iced). Green tea cools the body and with the addition of fresh mint, what could be more invigorating?
Below I’ll share some of my yummy experiments with you.
Rather than a bowl of cereal in the morning, try this re-fresh-mint:
Cheery-OoLaLa
one chopped mango
handful of blueberries
a hearty sprinkling of hemp seeds
5 (or more) torn fresh mint leaves
Layer in your favorite bowl!

Yoga agrees with the essential metaphysics of Samkhya and
ReplyDeleteAyurveda but differs from it in that while Samkhya holds that knowledge is the means of liberation, Yoga is a system of active striving, mental discipline, and dutiful action. Yoga also introduces the conception of God. Sometimes Patanjali's system is referred to as “Seshvara Samkhya” in contradistinction to Kapila's "Nirivara Samkhya."
Thank you.
DeleteNot sure how that relates to my article about mint.
