In September, intensive care will be performed in the pancreas, stomach and slugs. In this we are helped by the colorful and sweet vegetables and fruits of the time. Orange foods are rich in beta-carotenes. These pigments are perfect for preserving the skin, as they are antioxidants. The yellow color of vegetables and fruits indicates that they are foods with lutein and zeaxanthin: we protect our eyes, we care for our skin and we get antioxidants. In addition, it helps awaken joy and nervous system.

The way of cooking is also important, as the steamed dish maintains the nutritional characteristics of vegetables and fruits, vitamins and minerals, and pigments do not suffer. On the other hand, after the summer excesses, the body finds itself well with creams of vegetables, soups and broths of vegetables. We have to enrich our menus in vegetables and fruits.

I invite you to do an exercise to understand the nature and rhythm of the season, to feel, to look and hear: to enter the forest, to approach the trees, to integrate nature into your life. I will choose a tree: the walnut. I've got it close, I can see it every day.

At this time the fruits are growing in the tree, it is amazing the weight that the branches have taken; the weight they bear is enorme.Las leaves have a dark green color, which until now have been protecting the fruit. Will the nuts fall from the branches or fall trees? The tree is ending the cycle: it flourished in spring to bear fruit in summer.

I picked up in the vegetable garden pumpkin or pumpkin and figs.

Pumpkin or squash

The orange color of the pulp gives hint: it is rich in beta-carotenes. Other nutritional characteristics are its richness in potassium, calcium and fiber. It is also rich in vitamin E, linoleic acid, iron, zinc and curvature.

It is very useful in dietotherapy and nutrition therapy.

Pumpkin seeds or cistern trucks can be eaten raw or roasted.

With the heat, the leaves of this fruit tree have a special sweet smell. I bring memories: the orchard, the siesta, the sweetness, the green, the house, the nearby, the summer.

In this article we have started to take the first steps to eat the season and the rhythm of the season. Autumn comes and I am aware of the changes that the walnut will have. What are we going to need in the fall?...

That is what we shall be discussing in the next article.
