DITCH YOUR FOOD RULES

“When nourishing your body with foods, listen to what it needs,” says yoga instructor Carrie Seyer, who is leading an upcoming CorePower Yoga wellness retreat at Twin Farms in Barnard, Vermont. “Discard dogma and food rules, and eat for fuel and energy, whatever that may be for that day.” As much as you can, she adds, “choose whole, unprocessed foods, but also allow for an occasional splurge or two to help maintain a healthy mindset. Our bodies are intelligent and always asking for what they need to function optimally, whether it’s vegetables or even a bit of sugar; there’s reason behind the craving."
