Carrots

Set up a small sampling of carrots in a bowl. It can be one whole carrot, or a few baby carrots, shreds, cooked or raw.

Pick it up, or take one with a fork. Think about how it was once under the earth, and how it was cleaned and prepared on its way to your plate. If raw, feel the crunch followed by the sweet flavor of it. If cooked, enjoy the juice that easily flows from the slightly chewy bite.

The beta-carotene in this serving can actually help reduce your risk of sunburn, as well as numerous other boosts to  your health. As you enjoy the sensation of the carrot, try to imagine the way your body will respond to the nutrients. No need to dwell too much on the specifics - just the notion of this food as a gift your body receives with appreciation.
