Short Article: Lent as a Mediterranean Reset

Lent is not about restriction, t’s about simplicity. Traditional Mediterranean fasting relied on legumes, wild greens, olive oil, and herbs. These foods naturally reduce inflammation, support digestion, and reconnect us with seasonal eating. When we eat simply, we eat mindfully, and that’s where real nourishment begins.
