March is Nutrition Month
[Spring – Issue 3 Volume 3]
clean house, clean up your diet and refresh your exercise program
Not only is March Nutrition Month, it’s also the beginning of spring, and the time of year when many people start thinking about getting fit and healthy for summer. Spring cleaning comes to mind, providing the perfect opportunity to not only clean house, but also clean up your diet and refresh your exercise program. We all tend to eat heavier comfort foods and stay indoors more during the colder months. As the weather starts to get warmer, it’s time to switch gears. Visit your local farmers’ market to see what fruits and vegetables are in-season and incorporate a few each week, eliminating some of winter’s heavier, more processed foods. Eating with the seasons not only reduces your carbon footprint, it supports your local farmers and promotes community living.
Eat Clean, Eat Green!
Flora’s Spring Flyer
When you think of eating green, you probably think about vegetables like kale, spinach and broccoli, but we’re not talking about vegetables, we want to talk to you about Spirulina, nature’s super food. It is a blue - green algae that is high in protein, nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Available in powder format, this super food makes an excellent addition to not only fruit smoothies, but also sauces and dips. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans, or anyone looking to add a vegan source of protein to their diet, 10 grams of powder contains as much protein as one egg. Try Spirulina today in our delicious Pesto Sauce recipe. (see page 2)
