Natural dark colored foods nurture your kidney energy improving your life energy, libido and fertility. For example purple rice with its intense dark color is rich of antioxidants, iron and folic acid that are important to optimize the recovery of the endometrium, the quality of the spermcells and improve your stamina.
I like to eat purple rice as a simple dish with green vegetables, shallot and smoked salmon or chicken. Or vegetarian style with roasted pumpkin and walnuts. (Instagram: fertilityfoods_margaretha)

Many of us have the tendency to drink cold liquids during summertime. But cold drinks give your stomach's digestive fire a shock, that will take unnecessary energy from your body to digest what has been just drank. The symptoms of a weakened stomach digestive fire can be; bloated belly, cramps, loose stools, tiredness, weak digestion, overweight or underweight. Therefore make sure that your drinks are at least on room temperature. Enjoy a warm tea or infusion with herbs and spices to warm up your body even more to push out the excessive heat by opening up your pores and sweating.

Digestive fire & the uptake of nutrients:
You can eat the healthiest foods but if your digestive fire is weak your body cannot transform and absorb the nutrients. Think about your stomach like a cooking earth pot, where all your chewed foods are mixed together, squeezed and warmed up ready for the next phase of your digestion. As you can imagine the amount of fire for your cooking earth pot has to be big enough but also not to big to prevent burning or overcooking from the inside out.
You can stimulate your digestive fire with the following food & lifestyle tips:
1. Chew well
2. Take your time and space to eat
3. Use warming spices and fresh herbs
4. Keep your meals easy and simple
5. Have enough physical exercise
6. Give yourself a belly massage
7. Breath deep in and out

Healing effect of fresh made fruit juice:
On those hot warm summer days I love to drink fresh made fruit juice to quench my thirst and refresh my body temperature. To prevent to much cold entering my stomach I make sure that the juice is around room temperature. And by adding some grounded spices for example cinnamon, ginger and/or cardemom I stimulate my digestive fire to transform my fresh made fruit juice in valuable nutrients for my body.
