Edible Vancouver Island November/December 2023

Diets can be restrictive and difficult to hold to, whereas creating meals based on these simple ideas can lead to health-forward, long-lasting mindset and lifestyle changes, which naturally lead to positive benefits physically, mentally and emotionally. Looking ahead to the new year, consider the ways you’ll fuel your body and mind as you set your intentions for 2024. And while you're at it, why not find a local polar plunge event or convince your friends to join you in the chilly tradition? Maybe I’ll see you on January 1st, standing [read: shivering] next to the ocean, preparing for an exhilarating dash into the water to usher in a new chapter of possibilities–before heading home to a nourishing meal that will energize us to work toward all of our new year goals . Freelance writer/editor Danielle Steiner enjoys a once-a-year polar plunge, but isn't on the same level of cold-water-wild as her husband, who takes a daily dip throughout the winter. willowtreewords.com
