Is your food good enough to eat?

• When and where was your food grown?
• Was it grown without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides or genetic engineering?
• What happened to it on the way to the markets?
• What is it that makes your food good or bad?

Being aware that your fruit and vegetables are seasonally fresh, choosing organic food and washing fruit and vegetables well are all great steps towards nourishing your health. A diet rich in plant based wholefood helps to nourish and support your immune system while helping you recover from the day to day demands of everyday life.
