There’s so much truth and value in eating the foods that are naturally available to us within each season. The great news in Spring and Summer is that there is so much fresh produce available.
Here’s a brief reminder of all the great nutrients and vitamins that come in the form of tasty fruits and veggies for Spring:
Apricots; mangoes; rhubarb; strawberries and cherries just to name a few in the fruit section!
Artichokes; asparagus; mustard greens; spinach; carrots; chives; and water cress just to name a few in the veggie area.
Look for organic produce that is not coming across the country to your grocery store or just go to the local farmer’s markets. It reduces the footprint on the Earth (less gas and pollution to get our food to us) to buy local and it’s so much better for your body! Happy Spring!!!

I love sharing integrative nutritional education and fitness with everyone. I believe that when we understand what we're eating and why our health has deteriorated over the past few decades, we will make the changes to our lifestyle and diets that will change our world, save our children and put the epidemics of diabetes, autism, cancer and autoimmune disease behind us.
I'm a health coach trained through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, a comprehensively trained Pilates teacher and educator, a registered yoga teacher, an ACE Personal Trainer, a Spin Instructor, a Cardiolates teacher trainer, and a kettle bell certified trainer. I own Trio Fitness in Dripping Springs, TX (http://www.triofitness.net). I have three children, a wonderful husband and some amazing four-legged best friends that infuse me with peace and joy everyday.
