Available Right in Our Own Backyards
As spring blooms once again, the excitement for locally sourced, farm-fresh produce is unparalleled. The joy of indulging in greens, snap peas, beets, and berries that were harvested mere days or even hours ago is a privilege. Bucks County and Central New Jersey thrive with abundant farms and vibrant farmers’ markets, simplifying the path to eating healthily and supporting local growers.
Delving into these seasonal, locally grown delights isn’t just a culinary pleasure; it’s a boon for your digestive well-being.
Opting for organic varieties further spares the body from the detrimental effects of pesticides. Your digestive system plays a pivotal role in overall health and benefits significantly from a diet rich in clean, plant-based foods that aid its crucial functions.
Digestion processes what we consume, distributing nutrients to the body’s cells for optimal absorption and then eliminating waste.
It certainly substantiates the “you are what you eat” adage. Regardless of a food’s nutritional value, its benefits might be compromised if the digestive system fails to process it effectively.*
Moreover, did you know that a staggering eighty percent (80%) of the body’s immune system resides in the gastrointestinal tract? Maintaining its optimal function proves instrumental in disease resistance and fostering general well-being.*
Seeking a straightforward, natural, and readily accessible method to support your digestive health? Embrace an abundance of foods plucked straight from the earth.
- Explore nearby organic farms and consider participating in their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) options.
- Frequent your local farmer’s markets. Mark your calendar for these market days, gather your reusable bags, and explore the diverse offerings, welcoming the chance to try something new. Return home with your harvest and relish the explosion of flavors and nourishment from fresh foods you’ve selected.
- Grow your own. Whether in pots on your patio or a full-blown backyard garden, planting at least a few of your favorites will have you enjoying produce that is picked just hours-or minutes-before eating.
Additionally, make an attempt to ‘eat the rainbow’ through the course of a week.
Diversity in your gut microbiome begins with diversity on your plate. Red beets, green spinach, orange carrots, purple blueberries . . . you get the picture.
Amping up your intake of fresh fruits and veggies is a great way to support your digestive health.
But it’s also important to remember that there are toxins you simply cannot avoid. From air pollution to pesticides on surfaces and treatments in your running water (although we greatly appreciate having clean water), you ingest and inhale more toxins than you realize. Inner Spa offers a selection of detoxifying services to jump-start and maintain a ‘clean’ gut. From a 30-minute Ionic Foot Spa to a 2-hour Contour Mineral Wrap, there is sure to be a therapy that fits into your life and targets your needs.
