Another Perspective: Going Green By Eating Green!

Happy Earth Day! On this 40th anniversary of the global movement for environmental awareness and action, everyone seems to be finding ways to do their part, both today and throughout the year. One way to do this, which theoretically is both good for our planet and our bodies, is to eat a larger proportion of fruits and vegetables in our diets (go organic if you can afford it and have access!). A friend of mine has a great blog, Court’s Kitchen, in which she gets creative developing new recipes that are healthier, greener, more sustainable, and tasty! Nutritious and satisfying meals that are both good for our health and better for the environment don’t have to be a sacrifice. Well-being is a balance that includes our health, our environment and our food – on this Earth Day, let’s all strive to be well!
