The Benefits of Eating for the Seasons
Restaurants that have revolving seasonal menus have gained in popularity in recent years. The concept of seasonal eating has deep roots. Before the advent of modern agriculture and global trade, people naturally consumed foods that were locally available during specific times of the year. But today, the convenience of supermarkets allows us to eat almost any fruit or vegetable year-round. While this accessibility is convenient, it disconnects us from the natural cycles of food and may not always be the healthiest or most sustainable choice. Let’s delve into the benefits of eating for the seasons and how it can transform your health, environment, and culinary experience. continue reading

For many women, these symptoms can significantly impact the quality of life. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) has long been the standard treatment for managing menopausal symptoms, but it is not without risks and side effects.
