Make the farmers markets apart of your weekly routine.
This lifestyle adaptation will help you create positive changes to your diet & therefore, your overall health (mood, sleep, digestion, etc).
🍏 The fresher the produce is (see ya supermarkets) the more nutrients in the fruits & veg you consume.
🫐🍓 farmers markets off more variety for spray free and organic produce. I Definitely recommend sticking to organic/spray free for the dirty dozen at a minimum (berries, pears, potatoes, nectarine, collard greens, rocket, lettuce, spinach, tomatoes etc).
👩🌾 Supporting your local organic & spray free farmers, helps to support local business, local families, and encourages better farming methods.
Plus it is a great way to add more diversity into your diet.
You want to aim for Aprox 40x different fruits/veg/herbs/spices in your diet each week, this is achievable with shopping at your local farmers market.
Diversity of fruit & veg = more fibre. Fibre from a *variety of food sources (fruit/veg) feed the beneficial bacteria in the gut (our commensal species) & the more beneficial commensal species in our gut (colon), the more good they will do (hello beneficial metabolites).
Our gut is a HUGE part of our health, and we need to feed it the good stuff to be our best and most healthiest selves.
Happy eating friends 🥕 🍐🥦 🥒🧅🍉🫒☺️🫶🏽
