There are so many explanations about why we might want to choose locally grown foods. They are fresher and are picked nearer to being ripe. They have more time to absorb the nutrients from the soil and they also have a lower carbon footprint since they don’t have to be flown halfway across the world for us to enjoy their beautiful bounty.
The advantages go way beyond your kitchen table. By buying locally grown foods, you’ll enjoy fresher, tastier, and healthier food while supporting small, local farmers in your community. Supporting community farmers is a great way to pay it forward.
The nutrition experts at Akea urge you to become what they refer to as a locavore—someone who eats locally-grown foods. Consider these facts…
•In the United States of America, food now moves an average of 1,500 miles before ending up on our plates as a meal.
•To justify travel time, fruits and vegetables are often picked several days—if not weeks—before ingestion. They might even be harvested while still green to enable them to last during their long trip.
•This farming method doesn’t leave the plants enough time to fully absorb the minerals in the soil and to synthesize vitamins and other nutrients.
Nutrition (as well as flavor) diminishes with every passing day after harvest. Once they’re picked, many vegetables rapidly lose vitamin potency.
If you eat in this manner your body will become stronger, healthier and more energetic. If you ad Akea Essentials to your daily program, you will get even more of the necessary vitamin, nutrients, probiotics etc. that your body needs to do all the things you want it to do. Trust me if you do right by your body it will indeed do right For YOU! So now is the time to FEED Your Body what it needs to grow and produce and by eating locally you support the local economy in your community.
If you want to live like the people in Longevity hot Spots, then my suggestion to you is that you pick up a can of what I like to call The Garden of Eden in a can, better known as Akea Essentials and put some color on your plate and into your body.
it is time to take control over what you put into your mouth!

 | | Those are very powerful thoughts and words. We farm here in Colorado and raise most of our vegetables in a garden during the summer. Great blog to get the information out to everyone. Way to share the IBO spirit |
| | |  | | Definitely! What you say is so true. Here in British Ciolumbia our growing seasons are over (except in greenhouses) and, oh!, it's so great to have all of those healthy fruits and vegetables for even our short growing period of time. |
| | |  | | Great idea! besides being fresher it supports the local community. Neighbors helping neighbores just like we do here on IBOtooBOX! |
