Yesterday I mentioned a couple of topics that I am going to
be writing about on the use of natural food and holistic remedies on your pets,
cats in particular. I will be looking to promote this for people as well, not
only by associating healthy changes for your pet with healthy changes for you,
but also by posting here from time to time some of the healthy, natural and
holistic breakthroughs and discoveries I have come across.
Topics such as using essential oils as medications, supplements,
mood enhancers, stress relievers…the list goes on. Another key topic is the food and water you
intake, how to identify and avoid the genetically modified foods that everyone
in the world is banning except for the U.S., and to buy locally grown and produced
food when possible versus things imported from Mexico. Some irradiatiated
veggies anyone?
Speaking of local foods, buy locally! Seriously…buy locally.
Buying local, organic food is always the best, followed by local, non-GMO food.
It is pretty easy to find local, organic food even in the winter. Root vegetables
are easily stored when done so properly, and the growth of aquaponic, hydroponic,
and year round greenhouse growing make organic food readily available year round,
even in the coldest of climates. I found a winter farmer’s market in Anchorage,
AK, that does just that…fresh, organic vegetables available year round. A quick
web search should reveal where these places are. One trick to know is that most
winter growers often will sell direct to the customer if the customer comes to
their place of operation. Also, keep in mind that this also applies to meat,
dairy, eggs, and fish, and other foodstuff products as well…organic is not just
a vegetarian thing. A vast world of discovery waits!
And then we have CSA’s, which I will save for down the road
to keep this from getting too long.
Local products can be found as well, it is just a matter of
getting out and exploring your world.
Much more to come...so grab your notepad and get ready to take notes.
