Can Ayurveda spice up your life?

During Vata season, the best thing we can do for our health and immunity
is add Vata-pacifying foods to our diets — freshly cooked, whole foods that
are soft or mushy in texture, rich in protein and fat, seasoned with a variety
of spices, and served warm or hot. These foods lubricate and nourish the
tissues, preserve moisture, and maintain warmth — all while supporting
optimal digestion and elimination.

Photographs from Woodbridge Art Club
This month I’m sharing some
fabulous photos of fungi, taken
last November by the Art Club’s
photography group when they
met for a photoshoot at Porters
Wood in Woodbridge.
Porters Wood, managed by
the Woodland Trust, brings
out different natural treasures
in each season and the group
has captured some interesting
images of this most mysterious
form of life!
The photographic group at the
Art Club is a small and friendly
section that welcomes keen
photographers of all abilities
- from beginners to more
experienced.
You can find out more about
Woodbridge Art Club and its
various activities on our website:
www.woodbridgeartclub.co.uk.
We welcome new members
and the start of the year is the
ideal time to join us so you can
benefit from all the club has to
offer throughout the year.
