Eat Healthy: Locally Grown Produce Does the Trick
I just feel better when I know I’m eating high quality food that supports my health.
But finding high quality food that truly nourishes us, can be a challenge. For example, there’s no guarantee the fruits and vegetables from our large grocery store are bursting with the nutrients we think they are. They may have been sitting for weeks and transported from across the country, all which impacts what we ultimately gain from eating them.
That’s why I’m so passionate about buying locally grown produce. Unlike store bought produce, you know it’s fresh and just been picked. And the taste of a locally grown tomato, just can’t be beat! In the summer, I regularly shop at my local farmers’ market in New Haven, City Seed, because I can buy healthy, fresh food that won’t break the bank. What’s better than that?
Check out this week’s audio tip on both the health and economic benefits of buying locally grown produce. It not only helps us feel our best, but it also supports the community.
