I think I generally try to eat healthy. By this I mean I try to eat fresh fruits and vegetables – organic if possible and since I live in a cold climate if the season allows I try to buy food items that are grown locally as well. I feel food that hasn’t traveled for a thousand miles likely is fresher. Don’t you?
That’s one of the reasons why I love the Spring, Summer and early Autumn Seasons here. There’s always fresh fruit and vegetables and each season has it’s stars. For example I love getting fresh corn in late July or August. At this time of year I enjoy fresh strawberries, leafy greens and young carrots.
Just as the information in this picture suggests I definitely flex my green thumb. Anyone who reads this blog semi regularly already knows that! I grow quite a few flowers in my front and backyards but I also grow some fruit and vegetables. I grow lettuce, spinach, peas, cucumber, tomatoes, tiny tom tomatoes, strawberries and raspberries. I was just noticing the other day that my Tiny Tom tomatoes have several green tomatoes on the plants so it won’t be long before I can add some home grown small tomatoes to my salads or simply pop one of those delicious sweet tomatoes into my mouth. Some of my strawberries have ripened as well.
Do you go out to local Farmers Markets to get fresh fruits and vegetables or grow some of your own in your backyard like I do? If you shop in the grocery store do you try to buy locally grown produce? Don’t you find fruits and veggies just taste better at this time of year?
Eating healthy is really important because what we do to our body will affect our daily work or activites. That is why I always eat green nowadays like lettuce and other vegetables. I feel great actually because of my new diet.
Just keep to eating fruits and vegetables so you will get the benefits for your health.
Another fact about healthy eating is that fruits should be eaten between meals…and another thing-definitely locally grown produce. Nice post!
You are what you eat …. with that in mind am a proud Veggie! Eating healthy is Vital to stay well, fit & alert !
Nothing is better than going out into my back yard and eating tomatoes right off the vine still warm from the sun. This year our tomatoes are doing very well as are the cucumbers however or squash have not produced anything and the peppers are doing as badly as the squash. Nothing is better than fresh home grown fruits and vegetables they taste the best and you can always be sure they are safely grown without any harsh chemicals. eating the freshest grown and most organic vegetables are not only the best for us but I think they just taste better. Good luck with your garden and enjoy the wonderful vegetables.
