I'll be sorry to see the sunny nights go. I'm looking forward to winter for so many reasons, but I don't like the sun going down on me before 6. Sigh. One big reason I love a sunlit evening is because hubby and I really enjoy eating dinner in the backyard. Last night we had BBQ red snapper with a warm mushroom and tomato salsa, the light was fading but we were blissed out by our little garden, the crazy birds and the chance spotting of a dragonfly or two.
Sitting still while you eat - without a TV, computer or mobile phone to be seen - does amazing things for your digestive system. You appreciate and savour the food much more, you breathe slower, chew slower, and once you've eaten, you tend to sit and contemplate, which gives your insides time to process your meal in peace.
Other great ways to enjoy what you eat and boost your digestive health are to eat when you're hungry, scale back on the meat you eat each day (unless your portions are already too low), steam your vegies (it really is the best way) and eat a mini dessert after lunch, not dinner. The sugar rush from ice-cream and other sweets can easily interfere with the amount of sleep you get and the quality of that sleep.
Eat fresh, sleep well, and your energy levels will positively soar!
