1% Shift -Embrace Seasonal Eating for Nutritional & Environmental Wellness

In this episode of 1% Shift, we explored the benefits of eating seasonally for both our health and the environment. By aligning our diets with nature's rhythms and embracing locally grown, seasonal produce, we not only support our own well-being with a diverse range of nutrients but also reduce greenhouse gas emissions, support local farmers, and promote agricultural diversity.

Takeaways:

1. Nutritional Diversity: Eating seasonally allows us to rotate our diets and enjoy a diverse range of nutrients throughout the year, supporting overall health and preventing nutrient deficiencies.
2. Environmental Impact: Choosing locally grown, seasonal produce reduces the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation of out-of-season foods, helping to mitigate climate change.
3. Supporting Local Farmers: Purchasing from farmers' markets or joining CSA programs supports local farmers, preserves farmland, and strengthens rural communities.
4. Embracing Creativity: Get creative in the kitchen by experimenting with new recipes featuring seasonal ingredients, expanding culinary horizons while enjoying the freshest flavors nature has to offer.
