Eating Seasonal, Organic Foods is both Healthy and Delicious
Okay, so today’s highly competitive global marketplace allows you to buy foods grown anywhere in the world no matter the season. But why buy fruits and vegetables from 3000 miles away when you can buy nearby grown foods and eat seasonally – while helping sustain the environment and local economy. It’s kind of a no-brainer, right? For those of you challenged with the notion that eating seasonally contributes to a healthier lifestyle, consider this: from an evolutionary perspective – let’s just say a long time ago – we wouldn’t have been able to eat fresh fruit, vegetables and grains all year round. So the proverbial question is: why the heck do it now? Have you ever noticed that in-season fruits and vegetables, not-to-mention produced locally and organic, are more colorful and taste better? That’s because they’re harvested from nature’s own circadian rhythm. Which makes these tasty delights more abundantly rich with nutrients and all the good stuff that helps invigorate our bodies.
