Sweetness and emotions

When  emotionally out of balance, many people resort to the chocolate bar, ice-cream or any other very sweet "treat" looking for the comfort they are missing. The effect they create is the contrary of what they were looking for: a sudden rise of the glucose levels in the blood unavoidably followed by a sudden fall which  makes you crave for the next sugar shot in a never-ending cycle of  euphoria and misery that creates a lot of unhappiness. Let alone the fact that sugar demineralizes you, makes you lose the strength, brightness, mental clarity and magnetism you need to attract the affection you are looking for when looking for that sweet taste.

It is important to stop and reflect on the way we create sweetness in our lives, whether it be through food, life style or mental attitude. We need sweetness for our brain to work well and our emotions to be balanced and the best way to get it through food is with whole grains, sweet vegetables and seasonal local fruits.

And now that cauliflower, red cabbage and apples are in season, here you have  the link to a delicious millet and cauliflower pie with red cabbage and apple recipe that will satisfy your body' s need for sweetness.

Cook and enjoy!
