A Great Testimonial for Eating Healthy

We met some really nice folks last week at the farmer’s market where we were selling our microgreens.  Kevin and Julie stopped by to buy microgreens and ended up telling us their story…

Kevin and Julie talked about how both suffered with various health issues, from high blood pressure to high cholesterol to the typical weight gain that most adults experience as they mature.  Not wanting to accept the typical, “in-the-door-here’s-your-prescription-out-the-door” medical solution, Kevin and Julie opted for a more holistic approach.

What did they do?  They simply changed their diets.  They “re-trained” their taste buds to delight in fresh, naturally grown local products.  They cut down on fats and all of those “if you eat just one, you’ll be addicted” snacks that jump out at you from the supermarket aisles.  And Julie, a dyed-in-the-wool “cheese-aholic” even gave that up to get healthy (if you don’t know how seriously dangerous cheese and other dairy products can be, watch the documentary Forks Over Knives).

Now, months later, Kevin and Julie have shed pounds, lowered their cholesterol and their blood pressure.  Their holistic doctor is just about ready to have them ditch the prescription medicines.  And while all that is great, the one thing we noticed about Kevin and Julie that they may or may not even realize, is that their very demeanor is indicative of their current wellness.  Their skin is clear and glowing, their eyes are bright and their joie de vivre shines through their speech and actions.  In short, Kevin and Julie are happy– and it shows!  They’re happy because they are healthy and they feel great.

We love it when we meet people who have changed their diets and lifestyles.  The change they feel and see in themselves is always remarkable and it keeps us excited about sharing what we have discovered about eating microgreens and other fresh, organic fruits and vegetables.  Sure, Jackie’s …Naturally is a business and it’s an important source of income for us.  But it’s so much more than that.  It’s getting the word out to folks about how important our diets and lifestyles are.  And it’s getting to know and be inspired by people like Kevin and Julie who made the right choice and are now enjoying the rewards of that choice.

So, go out there and graze!  Eat fresh green vegetables and enjoy all that life can offer from having a healthy body!  And stay tuned, because we’re getting ready to launch something new.  Because we’re committed to putting healthy food out there, we’re going to offer Grow Your Own microgreens kits.  Stay tuned!
