GOiMRS2000 is more about the electromagnetic fields surrounding our bodies. We focus on your overall health. Overall health includes sleep, exercise, healthy eating habits and detoxing. Today, we’re focusing on what we put in our mouths and the effects food has on our bodies health. It’s springtime, which means you have the perfect opportunity to boost your health as we head into the summer.
Convenience is a popular option because it saves us time. We are able to get through our busy days with work, with family and make all our appointments in between. The upside is saving time. The downsides—plural—are 1) chipping away at our health and 2) creating an imbalance inside our body. The imbalance can often affect our energy and make it harder to get through the day. We advise to play it safe and eat local, organic foods through the day. Be sure to combine every meal with water to stay hydrated. By consuming the right nutrients and vitamins, we are preparing ourselves for the external elements that come our way.
For the spring and summer, focus on foods that cool and hydrate your body. Wild fish, water, fruits (such as berries, watermelon, cantaloupe and ), greens (spinach, salads, broccoli, etc.) are perfect options. Keep these stocked in your fridge throughout the season.
Keep this blog on hand for the fall. During the Autumn and Winter seasons, go the opposite route. Pay attention to warming and foods with fall colors such as carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, onions, garlic, root vegetables (ginger), apples and so on.
Let’s take a moment to think about produce. Not every grocery store carries fresh produce, so when it’s in season, be sure to grab it when you can. Always go for local produce first. Local produce is the healthiest option because it takes less time to reach you from the farm. Anything that’s not local has to endure shipping and transport. Crates, boxes, transit, moving, loading and unloading can easily bruise or worsen the quality of produce. The good news is more supermarkets are jumping on the fresh food bandwagon and providing consumers with the right knowledge. Many specialty stores label their fruits and produce as to which are locally grown and which are not. Keep your eyes peeled (no pun intended) for any entire sections or cart displays of locally-grown foods!
“According to the National Resource Defense Council, in developed nations, food trade is increasing more rapidly than increases in both population and food production.”
Therefore, the food on your plate is traveling farther than it used to in order to be sold. Shockingly, the average American dinner plate contains foods sourced from five different countries. When you and your family eat locally grown foods, you are sustaining the local economy rather than imported food vendors. Stay local and stay clean!
