Peg's kitchen lab: raspberry vinegar, kefir, and turmeric bug - alongside her new dehydrator! |
What a difference a year makes! A year ago, January
of 2013, I began attending fermentation classes offered by Andrea Fabry.
The information regarding how our bodies work and what’s needed to
maintain natural health was, literally, life changing. Thus started my
quest to begin making changes that might encourage a healthy gut.
Reflecting on the past year, I surprised myself with the
changes. While I thought small changes were being made, I
realized I’d made kefir, kombucha, sauerkraut, laundry soap, sunscreen, and shea
cream. I bought and used a number of essential oils, started dry body brushing,
began buying some organic foods, bought a dehydrator and have probably missed
something. I have incorporated healthy oils, grains, nuts, sweeteners, etc.
all without much thought and have had fun in the
process. My pantry certainly looks different than it did one short
year ago!
It has been quite a journey. For anyone thinking
about making healthy changes, it’s well worth the effort. AND my husband
has enjoyed the changes! In fact, just this week Ron's dermatologist asked what he's doing differently because his skin looks so much better.
As for expense, I'm surprised how affordable these changes have been. Once you have things on hand, they go a long way!
