Easy Tips on Shopping Organic & Local - Made Fit TV - Ep 106

Food is a huge factor for almost anyone trying to lead a healthy and fit lifestyle.  We have to worry about making the right choices, making time in our busy schedule to prepare the food, budgeting for fresh produce, and sticking to eating that way!  Are you tired just thinking about it?

As if we did not have enough to worry about, now we have the new reality that our “healthy” food may not be as healthy for us as we thought.  The terms “organic,” “natural,” and “local” are words that are now becoming more prominent in how we shop for groceries and eat our food.  It can be overwhelming and confusing!

In this week’s new episode of Made Fit TV, our friend Michelle Kobernick from Gourmet Everyday and Michigan-based organic farmer Lee Uhlianuk give us easy tips on how anyone can get started in implementing organic and local foods into their meals.  They tell us why it’s not only important for our bodies, but how it can be good for your local community, economy, and your tastebuds!
