seasonally

WANT TO MAKE A D I F F E R ENCE
in your wallet, health, and
community? Keep your diet in sync
with the seasons and visit your
local farmers market! While a trip
to the grocery store may be your
norm, visiting a farmers market
is a great way to get a breath of
fresh air and meet people in your
area. It provides the opportunity
to obtain food straight from the
source, and shopping locally helps
support small businesses and
farmers in your community. And,
produce is more affordable when in
season, so you may be getting more
bang for your buck.
Eating seasonally also allows you
to enjoy fruits and vegetables that are
in their prime, which means they
taste better and are more flavorful.
Experiment with new recipes and
make the most of what’s available
that month. Following nature’s
schedule is a simple way to add
variety into your diet.
Fresh fruits and vegetables aren’t
just good for your taste buds
either—their properties are
beneficial as well!
“Use your food to boost your
health and combat ailments
naturally,” recommends Corinne

Basch, MD, a family medicine
physician. “Berries, such as
blueberries, are a sweet snack and
are high in disease-fighting
compounds called antioxidants, and
in 2010 were shown to improve
memory and mood in older adults.
Tomatoes are also excellent in the
summer and are rich in lycopene,
an antioxidant known to fight
cancerous cell formation. Overall,
people who eat five or more servings
of fruits and vegetables per day have
a 42 percent lower risk of dying from
cancer than those who eat
one serving or less.”
Rain or shine, farmers markets are
available to you all season long and
are bursting with fresh produce. Take
advantage and fill your basket with
some of nature’s finest gifts.
