Detox Vegetable Broth with Turmeric and Ginger
Dec 13, 2025 11:20 AM
Sometimes in this life, I just need to take a step back and reevaluate.
We are busy, consumed creatures of habit, aren’t we? Rushing from point A to point B, trying to get through the days, working for the weekends.
I learned about mindfulness far too late in life. It’s one of those things I wish I could go back in time and tell myself about. (That; and to never, ever cut my own bangs.)
I feel that it’s very important to practice mindfulness and to reevaluate ourselves and our situations. To ask ourselves the big questions. Am I where I want to be in my life? Is the person I’ve become a person to be proud of? Am I happy at my job, living in my city, in my relationships, etc.
This detox vegetable broth is just a broth and it’s most likely getting far more philosophical attention than it deserves.
And yet still, it reminds me of this idea. The idea of taking a step back. And not reversing time, never reversing time; but concentrating on the most important time there is: the present.
Mindfulness is about taking care of ourselves and one of the most important and powerful ways we can take care of ourselves is with food. Many things in this life are out of our control, even certain things that come to our health and our bodies. However, food is not one of them. That’s always in our control. We choose what we put into our bodies, and that’s powerful, isn’t it?
I like to make this detox vegetable broth to remind me of that.
It’s a subtle and simple reminder. A reminder to myself to take care of myself, to reevaluate, to detox.
