Want Healthy, Nutritious Food?  Grow It Yourself.

The Coronavirus Pandemic has made one thing very clear, the healthier we are; the more likely we can fight disease. A study estimated that nearly two-thirds of COVID-19 hospitalizations in the U.S. could be attributed to obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and heart failure.  Each of these non-communicable diseases contributes to inflammation in the body, which added fuel to the Coronavirus fire. They can be prevented, or potentially reversed for most of us, with a healthy lifestyle.

Eating clean fruits, and vegetables, is an essential part of any healthy diet.  The best way to ensure that we have access to pesticide-free, organic produce is to grow it ourselves.
 
I don't have room.
 
I don't know how.
 
I don't have time.
 
These are all legitimate concerns for many of us today.  Let's take a look at how we can at least grow some of our own food.
1.  Grow Microgreens
Micorgreens are nutrient-dense powerhouse plants. They grow quickly, in a small amount of space, indoors or outdoors.  They are tasty, and easy to use on salads, sandwiches or in smoothies.  Take a look at this system I trialed.  What I like most about this option is that it was easy and didn't make a mess.  Maybe it will work for you.
2.  Aquaponic Growing
Growing plants in water is a quickly growing trend.  These systems are being used on city rooftops, college campuses and homes.  Take a look at what is entailed in aquaponic growing.  Video

What I like most about this option, it offers healthy greens all the time.

You can even get an aquaponic garden that also serves as a fishtank!
3.  Grow in Hanging Baskets, Containers, or a Small Raised Bed.
If you have access to sun and water, you can grow some food, even if it is just herbs.  Check out all the resources on the Healthy Green Thumbs™ page.  You'll find a year- long series of newsletters, videos, tips and resources to help you grow plants, including many produce options, so you can enhance your health and well-being.  The shopping page on The Nature Nurse™, PLLC website includes some items that may help you as well.

Change occurs one bite at a time.  Spring is a time of renewal, so why not try something new and grow some of your own food?  Your body will thank you.
