I have a love affair with food, whether it is a delicious medium rare steak to a fresh bowl of raw fruits and veggies, I can eat anything. My body craves what it wants, and boy do I feed it. Of course, I do this all with moderation and sometimes I eat certain foods to give me energy. Enter tofu, juicing and yoga 10 years later.
I grew up eating pretty heavy meals loaded with carbs and meat that was definitely bigger than the size of my palm. Thankfully, I was very active when I was younger. The meals that I ate were burned off from 4 hour gymnastics practices. Nowadays, if I eat anywhere like I did back then, I’ll be asleep within 20 minutes.
Enter my three favorite things that I eat or do on the daily to sustain my energy and to power me through the day. Tofu, juicing and yoga.
Benefits of Tofu:

There are many, many more benefits of yoga, but for me those are the main reasons. I love to challenge myself through my yoga practice, and as the week ensues you will see more in depth of my practice.
