·      Boost Immunity

Your body has elaborate systems in place to fight potentially harmful organisms and keep you healthy. A balance of nutritious foods can help those systems stay strong and work efficiently.

·      Gluten Free Eating

An estimated 1 in 130 Americans have Celiac Disease, many of whom go undiagnosed for many years or indefinitely. The number of people sensitive to wheat or gluten is not known but currently many people are choosing to avoid or limit either wheat or gluten. The Jackson Whole Grocer has an extensive array o f options for GF eating.

·      Healthy Snack ideas

Healthy snacks can help you meet your nutritional needs and control your weight. They are a way to get you from one meal to the next with plenty of energy and allow you to arrive at the meal hungry but not ravenous. Being overly hungry makes it more difficult to make healthy choices and you are more likely to eat too much, too fast.

·      Herbs & Spices for Taste and Health

Herbs and spices have been used for centuries to preserve and enhance foods as well as medicinally to maintain good health or to treat illness. Recent research has identified many compounds in herbs and spices that act as antioxidants, lower cholesterol, favor less inflammation, and protect cells from harmful bacteria, viruses and fungi.

·      Whole Grains

Whole grains are plant foods with an abundance of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and dietary fiber that contribute to good health. There are many products made with whole grains and these are often good choices for convenience but the best whole grain foods are whole foods such as brown rice, wheat or spelt berries, quinoa, and rolled oats.

·      Beans & Legumes

Beans and legumes are “super foods” in nearly every way, packed with vitamins, minerals, disease-fighting plant compounds, vegetable protein and lots of dietary fiber. Best of all, these nutritional gems are tasty and inexpensive.

·      Food & Mood

There are many ways your nutrition can affect your mood. The right foods for you at the right times throughout the day help you keep your moods steady and give you the energy you need for whatever the day holds for you.

·      Kids – Healthy Meals & Snacks, Picky Eaters and more

Good nutrition helps kids grow well, learn and focus better at school, stay healthy, and fuel that natural energy most adults wish we still could muster on a regular basis. Busy parents (and kids) and picky eater kids make good nutrition a challenge for many families.

·      Safe Grilling

In addition to handling food safely to avoid food-borne illnesses there are ways to reduce your exposure to cancer-causing compounds that form when certain foods are grilled at high temperatures.

·      Protect Your Heart

You can’t change your genes but you can change your lifestyle. What you eat and drink can make a difference in your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, blood pressure, blood sugar, and chronic inflammation – all factors that can contribute to heart disease.
