3. Bugs, worms and critters are not always a bad sign in your fruits and vegetables. People are quick to dismiss whole batches of apples, for example, because some are contaminated with little wiggly creatures. The presence of such can mean that pesticides are not used, and the plant may thus yield a higher nutritional content to you. Remember, they are only fellow frugivirious organisms and won’t snack on you. Supermarkets love to discombobulate the lay person by retailing fruit as organic and then waxing them to prolong their life, so have more trust in what is unprocessed and imperfect.

It need not be an ultramarathon or a swim across a lake, but it can be in the form of any fun activity or sport that sparks your imagination and tickles your fancy. Why watch it on TV when you can do it? Be the action, feel the excitement and turn that sports channel off.

5. Travel as much as you can, as far as you can and for as long as you can. Life is not meant to be lived in one place. The rooted plants depend on your mobility to spread their precious seeds. The world is a big, beautiful place filled with wild, weird and wonderful fruits that beckon you to come to them. Try as many as you can in their natural milieu. Meet and greet different faces, races, cultures and civilizations. Teach and be taught wisdom, love and the union of all to one mother earth in nourishment.
