A warm welcome to Craig - our Qualified Functional Nutritionist
Hi I am Craig, I have experienced the profound effect that food can have on the mind and the body, from its deep nutritional value to its anti-inflammatory properties, food has become my medicine. I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge as a Functional Nutritionist with you through the Good Harvest blog, where I will be sharing with you how organic food is superior in nourishing and healing the body, seasonal eating, dietary tips and recipes, what foods to avoid and why, and even busting open some long-held myths around certain food groups.
The forgotten art of eating seasonally. 7 benefits of eating seasonal.
Eating seasonally not only tastes better, it also comes with many other benefits for your health, your budget and the environment.
The change of seasons not only marks the change of our wardrobes but a transition to an abundance of diverse new seasonal, freshly harvested produce we should be adding to our plates. Changing your food with the seasons ensures our bodies are properly nourished throughout the year by eating the best of what each season brings. As well as vitamins and minerals, fruit and veggies contain powerful phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are the natural compounds that give plant foods their unique flavours and bright colours.
