Taste-Based Activities

Taste-based activities correspond with the AIR element, the Sanguine temperament, Blood (HOT/WET), Spring (pagan) and Fall (esoteric), the Astral Body, Tree of Life: World of Yetzirah (of Formation), Solar Plexus (Manipura) and Sacral (Svadhisthana) chakras, the Yellow and Orange Aura Color Personalities, the senses of Sight and Taste, FORMATION, the emotion of Fear, and YAM (part of God's name).

This one is easy! You have to eat to survive, so it is necessary to taste things. You cannot escape your taste buds. You heal through your sense of taste through the foods you put into your body. Therefore, take the opportunity to taste whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, fish and organic red meat, and fresh, pure water.

 

 

Making An Energy Bar or Cookie

 

Make an energy bar or cookie. Energy bars and cookies are great for grabbing instead of chips and sodas that aren't good for your body or energy levels.

 

 

Eating Live Foods

 

At least half (50%) of your foods should be live, which is food that has not been heated, cooked, or refined. When foods are cooked at more than 113 degrees, they lose their enzymes, and your body has to rush in extra backup enzymes to break down and digest your food. Your body is then short-changed elsewhere, as these enzymes (little protein molecule factory workers) will have to leave their posts (from your heart, lungs, muscle tissue, and liver tissue) to assist with digesting the dead food you just ate, which doesn't happen when you eat "live" foods. Live foods contain natural enzymes. Reduced enzyme function is one of the major causes of digestive upsets, such as upset stomach, gas, constipation, and diarrhea.

 

 

Savoring a Flavor

 

Too many times, we don't take the time to chew our foods thoroughly and taste the flavor. We are in a hurry, watching TV, on our computers, or talking to someone. When's the last time you can remember enjoying the pure taste of something you ate without distraction? Live in the moment today by savoring a flavor. Whether it is a piece of chocolate or your favorite wine, go ahead and indulge as if it is your last time to enjoy it. Better yet, eat something you have never eaten before.

 

 

Creating a Healthy Smoothie

 

Try this easy recipe. Take two cored and peeled sweet apples, a 1/2 cup of raspberries or strawberries, a few grapes, ½ cup of water, 5-6 ice cubes, and a packet of stevia (or raw honey to taste) and toss it in the blender. Blend well and enjoy.

 

 

Inviting Someone to Dinner

 

Many people don't like to cook for one. Invite someone to dinner and enjoy a hot, home-cooked meal. Or, have your friend make the same thing for dinner and share your meal (long distance) on Skype, Zoom, or Facebook Messenger Video. Share a dessert or meal. Desserts are always special, and sharing them with someone can be an added pleasure at home. When you are out and about with a friend, buy just one serving. Ask for two spoons. It saves you money and extra inches around the waist while providing a sweet memory.

 

 

Sipping Your Favorite Beverage

 

What do you like to drink? Whether it is tea or Scotch, notice the aroma, the taste, and how it feels going down the next time you drink it. Taste the moment. Eat out at a place you have never been to before. Be open-minded. Tantalize your taste buds.

 

 

Brushing Your Teeth

 

There's nothing worse to sink your spirits than your mouth feeling like someone tramped through it in muddy boots. Brush your teeth. Uplift your mood in a couple of minutes.

 

 

Drinking a Tall Glass of Water

 

Your body needs fresh water to remain healthy and energetic. Make drinking "pure water" your new, best habit.

 

 

Kiss & Munch On Your Lover

 

I don't think this needs any explanation.
