Food

Food brings people together in the midst of both joy and sorrow. Food is one of the basic necessities of life. 

Before communities gather together, there is that question of whether we are going to serve people something to eat. People have served a full course meal while others have served finger foods. None of these options are wrong because the purpose is, did you give your fellowship, celebration, union to your best?!. If you did, then you did your best.

The purpose of the food we eat is survival. Food is a need that sustains our quality of life, health, and pleasure when our emotions rock our souls. The healing power of food is rooted in the nutrients food contains. Vitamins, minerals, and  antioxidants work synergistically to support bodily functions, boost our immune system, and promote healing.

Food ignites all our 5 senses, which include:- sense of taste, sight, smell, imagination, and touch. When food is attractive to the eye, people imagine the taste of it. When food is served in attractive cutlery, dishes, and silverware, emotions can arise with excitement.

My love to self – I consume avocados anytime of the day, and they need to be inclusive in all my meals.  Avocados are known to improve your gut health, lower your risk of developing heart disease, lower blood pressure,  promote a healthy weight, and enhance your brain function. What I know people do not eat food because they are only hungry, and attraction to the eye and the aroma to our nostrils is telling.

Your homework-The next time you serve your party, family, or friends food, let me know what you observe, the non-verbal communication.
