Healthy Food as Medicine: We support #foodasmedicine #fruitsandveggiesmonday tags on Steem!
We're big believers in healthy eating at @naturalmedicine. What you put into your bodies MATTERS. We recognise that different folks need different foods to function at their optimum or to prevent flair ups of illness or even to manage their weight, and acknowledge that meat is also a natural medicine for some folk too (we're talking to you, @nateonsteemit), but without fruit and vegetables, our systems suffer.
#fruitsandveggiesmonday has been going for a long time on Steemit and we LOVE checking out this tag, drooling over the posts written by @lizelle, @lenasveganliving, @plantstoplanks or @birdsinparadise, amongst others. @buckaroo's post on avocado chocolate cake had us dreaming this week too! So if you're not posting a #mindfulmonday post (hey, maybe you're posting it on a Tuesday under #mindfullife, which is awesome too!) or can't manage a #naturalmedicine post this week, why don't you try submitting a recipe of healthy eats? We'll upvote and resteem the best ones, especially if there's a little glimmer of #naturalmedicine wisdom in there too. And if you can't post on a Monday, try #foodasmedicine #naturalmedicine any other time!
Not ONLY that, but it's run by @vegansofsteemit who offer prizes for:
Healthiest Recipe
Best Presentation
Best Photography
Most Creative Recipe
Best Vegan Dessert
Best Traditional Veganized Recipe
Most Entertaining Entry
Most Educational Entry
Most Mouthwatering Entry
Most Beautiful Fruits & Veggies
Hey, they should add most medicinal recipe to that, what do you think?
Check out their post here.
If you'd like to know how to write a great #fruitsandveggiesmonday post, check out this cheat sheet written by @plantstoplanks, which gives you a wonderful run down on what makes something really curatable.
Oh, and if you have a great recipe book to share, acknowledging it's place in your natural healing journey, why not enter the @naturalmedicine Book Challenge, open until August 12th? Post about a book that has had an influence on your understanding of natural medicine, from meditation to yoga, healthy diets to permaculture, herbalism to crystals, reiki to alchemy - the sky's the limit! There's 40 Steem in prizes to be one, so best get on it! Check out the pinned post in the @naturalmedicine feed for more details.
#meatasmedicine
Oh, I just had an absolutely glorious sandwich. It was a grilled pastured pork chop that I warmed up on cast iron in grass fed ghee and butter (ghee is fancy butter, so butter and butter) on buttered toast with homemade raw farmers cheese and some sharp cheddar. God, it was awesome. It hit the spot, the whole spot, and nothing but the spot.
Resteemed for #foodasmedicine!

Did you have some lettuce with that?
Oh, that would have been next level! I should have put some sauerkraut!

Thanks so much for the support of our rainbow-filled Monday challenge! We love seeing some of the #naturalmedicine folk join in, whether they are fully vegan or just veg-curious. It's a wonderful little family, but there's always room at the table for another place setting. 💚🤗💚
Real food is life energy for sure
This is a super helpful post! I, like so many others, get STUCK in the same old tags and could be so much more creative. I also tend to use #foodISmedicine rather than #foodASmedicine - so some weeny adjustments might help. As you know, I am a #foodasmedicine ZEALOT - more vegan than not, but just think it's totally REQUIRED to keep exploring not only the how-to of plants and veggies, but the WHY.

Another thing that is so wonderful about @NaturalMedicine - it's so expansive! Covering such an array of subjects and being so supportive of whatever works in folk's healing journey!
I know it has opened my eyes to many different topics that I never would have looked at before!
H-m-m! That got me thinking of another wonderful book I have - a cookbook, to enter in the Natural Medicine Book Challenge!
