Yes, yes, we are what we eat and all that. But this tasty little list tells us what foods help with strengthening our nervous system, opening our heart, stilling our mind, nourishing our brain and balancing our system. A strong nervous system means a deeper capacity to ignite our potential, to really show up for our life and live to our highest calibre. So fill your boots on these…
Almond – Nourishes the brain and heart
Banana – Rejuvenating, aphrodisiac, increases semen, good for skin, appetizer, blood purifier, mentally soothing, strengthens nerve tissue, soothes ulcers
Basil leaf – Increases devotion (Wow! I could not be more devoted to this sublime herb!)
Celery – Nerve nutrient, lowers blood pressure
Date – General tonic, increases semen, cools entire system, soothes colon
Ghee – Brain and nerve nutrient
Honey – Rejuvenative for nerves
Licorice root – Tonic, cook with wheat and red dates for anxiety
Lotus root and seed – Nutritive tonics, hormone balance
Olives – High trace mineral content, brain nutrients, good for immune system
And bless your food by chanting Sat Nam (truth is who I am) three times before tucking in. Bon appetit!
