Marina’s Tip For The Month: You are What You Eat

The Earth element is about enjoying a balanced, nourishing meal without excess. So don’t deny yourself anything. Include protein, carbohydrates and good fats at each meal and also bring in lots of colours – yellow, orange and green. As Marina says, ‘create a plate which looks beautiful. Have your avocado, your nuts and be colourful, make it inviting. Variety is important. Earth doesn’t like one thing. When you want to treat yourself, do it in moderation. So, for example, if you want alcohol, don’t have a sweet course, and if you want to have sweets, don’t have alcohol’. Eat what is seasonal and fresh, preferably organic. Cooking in an earthenware pot (not stainless steel) also helps increase your Earth element. As does trying to eat and going to bed at the same time every day. Your body will love the security of this routine.
