uring these stressful times, it is easy to get caught up worrying
about the unknown. Instead, let’s focus on what we do know. With inflation and food shortages expected, this is the time to re-
evaluate where you spend your hard-earned money. Farmers markets and gardening centers continue
to be my happy “go-to” places. Local markets offer festive settings to purchase the freshest produce— and a fun place to meet like-minded friends. In addition, the markets boost local economies and reduce the carbon footprint than much grocery- store items. I like to follow the “100-mile Diet” guidelines which encourage seasonal fare. Luckily, as Central Floridians, it is easy to eat a vast array of food grown close to home. How do you consume herbs in your life?

The Natural Way to Solve your Allergy, Sinus and Respiratory Discomfort.
