Nutrition and nourishment go hand in hand. The foods and beverages you put in your body, make your body. Truly.
Farmers markets are springing up all around, so you get the added bonus fresh foods and supporting local growers.
Many local stands offer varieties traditional stores don’t – like yellow tomatoes. Enjoy the added radiance in your skin, and energy in your step.
- Fresh fruits and vegetables provide wonderful nutrients. Be certain to wash them completely, even if the bag says “pre-washed.
- Rule of thumb: More color, more nutrients.
- Rule of thumb 2: Less cooking, more nutrients plus enzymes. Caveat: be aware that some vegetables will require peeling and some caution. Potato eyes for example, have toxins that will not harm you when cooked, but can cause problems raw.
- Processed foods strip nutrients away. Manufacturers may add some nutrients back in, but this never provides what the original food will.
Try new foods – nature provides an incredible bounty!
