The Importance of Drinking Water for Bone Density in Perimenopause and Menopause

by Julia K | Jul 12, 2024 | Healthy Living & Longevity, Julia K Yoga & Healthy Living

🌿 Living the Ikarian Way 🌿 Out in the garde 🌿 Living the Ikarian Way 🌿

Out in the garden with a bowl of Fava — not the bean, but the traditional Ikarian dish made from yellow split peas 🍲 Inspired by the beautiful longevity lifestyle and functional kitchen wisdom of George and Eleni at Karimalis Winery 🇬🇷 @ikarian_way_of_life 

There’s something magical about cooking simple, soulful food straight from the earth. Inspired by the slow, intentional rhythm of life in Ikaria — where people live long, laugh often, and eat well — I made a bowl of traditional Fava.

✨ My version includes:
🧅 1 onion
🥕 1 carrot
🌾 Yellow split peas
🌿 Dried chives & oregano
🫒 A generous amount of olive oil during cooking
💫 Topped with red onions, capers, parsley, and another drizzle of olive oil

💛 Why it’s special:

✅ High in plant-based protein
✅ Rich in fiber and iron
✅ Anti-inflammatory herbs for gut and immune health
✅ Heart-healthy fats from extra virgin olive oil
✅ Fresh parsley: rich in vitamin C, K, and antioxidants — supports bone health and immunity
✅ Capers: tiny but mighty — loaded with polyphenols and quercetin, great for circulation and inflammation
✅ Comforting, nourishing, and naturally gluten-free

Made with love, and meant to be shared 🥄
Let’s embrace a little more Ikaria in our everyday — slow-cooked traditional meals (where the nutrients remain — not microwaved), real ingredients, and plenty of sunshine ☀️

Keep checking for more…
Is Mediterranean — and even Ikarian — cooking finding its way into your kitchen? 💬 Please do share… 😊✨

Back teaching this morning… and it felt so good Back teaching this morning… and it felt so good to return.
Sacred sounds, gentle movement, and the stillness of Savasana —
A space where nervous systems could soften and recalibrate.

Because so much of how we behave — how we respond to stress, how we relate to others, how we feel in our own bodies — is shaped by the state of our nervous system.

It’s not just mindset or willpower — it’s physiology.
When we start paying attention to the body’s cues and give it the space to settle… balance begins to return.

This is why nervous system awareness is so foundational —
Not just to manage stress, but to transform the way we live, relate, and rest from the inside out.

✨ Deep rest is not a luxury. It’s a rhythm we can remember.
“ Let your body remember. “
