Going Organic - easy as one meal a day

Have you been wondering how you can start your 'great new organic diet' but balking at the prices of supermarket certified organic produce? It's very easy to just go for the 'mainstream' produce when the prices are lower, even if you know its not as good. And then there are some supermarkets which have NOT got good suppliers, and the organic produce is very low quality. So how do you get going if you are shopping in suburbia and want a healthier more organic intake?

I suggest just substituting ONE of your meals per day with certified organic produce. This can be done simply for either Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner or the snacks you have during the day. Pantry goods are easy to buy a little at a time until you have a good stock just sitting there waiting to be used for 'this or that'.

Snacks - Organic nuts and good quality dried fruits, fresh fruit, organic spelt crackers with organic soy cream cheese spread, just as a few examples..

Lunch - combine any of the above into a little platter, or....
Organic pasta with pesto and olives. Leave to cool and tub as pasta salad for the next day at work if you want to as well. No cooking or assembly required, just shovel. Same goes for a rice dish like Organic Vegetarian Briyani, a mixture of herbs, spices and veges in a light basmati rice. If you are counting calories, go for a sprout and leaves salad with some rice cakes and Flaxseed Oil.

Dinner - Meat eaters can choose to spend a little on some organic meat of their choice and make a feast of it with a selection of 3 or 4 vegetables. Very simple. You could also use some of the suggestions for Lunch as a Dinner option in larger quantities if you need to feed a family, or partner too.

When you plan the consumption of certified organic produce like this, you can eliminate waste and maximise taste! and healthy eating too ;)

A little insight into the 2010 Tiger influence

This is taken from the AIG 2010 only available from Holistic Therapy Connections...

"The Yang Metal Tiger is a symbol of Potential Conflict. With the Hexagram of the year showing Metal above Wood, it indicates a potentially volatile energy combination, where Authority will be directly confronting Conflict. Wood Element is also one that brings Competition, Growth, Ambition and Stimulation. With these kinds of energies being held in a controlling cycle we can expect some sort of disharmony to come.

Thank goodness we are in a year of the Flying Star 8, The Angel of Wealth & Happiness, which can bring some stability and repose to a year that promises to bring on its share of arguments and the implications of Power being wielded.

Tiger is a magnificent and cautious animal. Patient and only aroused to anger by being cornered or hunted. Generally they will fade into the background using extraordinary camouflage, and bide their time, watching and waiting for the opportune moment. They are passionate and loving, and in immature stages will jump in before properly assessing the situation. This is the most dangerous potential of Tiger energy. Like any feline their natural curiosity can lead them into confusion, sometimes manifesting as a crisis of decision.

With Tiger being a natural Leader, (sometimes Tigers are just so adorable or impressive its hard not to stare!) it is going to be difficult for this energy layer to take commands from the Metal energy in power this year. For this reason it will be important to control the temper using a weave of Holistic Therapies like contemplation, soothing and cooling dietary intake to smooth the metabolism, regular exercise to relieve physical stress, and a strong plan to alleviate any mental and emotional stress.

After 2009’s Star 9 energy wanting to ‘get going’ and ‘get out there’, the energy of the Tiger and Star 8 ask you to step back and bit and survey the landscape, take in some time to rejuvenate and restore calm. It will also want to leap and bound as well, so it will be a year of contrasts for all of us!

The Year of the Tiger has special significance for people born in 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998 and 2010.

People born in the years of the Monkey can alleviate their position in direct opposition to the Ruling Zodiac Animal (Tiger) this year by wearing or carrying a representation of Pig or Boar.

Pig is the ‘secret friend’ of Tiger and will protect the Monkey from harm and misfortunes. Rat also enjoys a special affinity with Tiger and can benefit from that this year.

Horse and Dog are allies of Tiger and will benefit from their Tiger friends this year, as Tigers will benefit from their Horse and Dog friends."

Wishing everyone a Prosperous, Healthy & Happy 2010 :)

Many Blessings
