I love it when newsletters, recipes and updates from some of my favorite sources for healthy food and living pop into my inbox. They provide a constant feed of new ideas and reminders about how to best fuel our healthy lifestyle with delicious food.
Today, I received a newsletter from my local farmer’s market organization, FRESHFARM Markets. Their weekly reminder highlights what will be coming to the market, and what’s on its way out, which helps me with menu planning. They also have tasty recipes in a database that can be searched by fruit, vegetables and herbs. Check it out here.
I also receive a newsletter from Local Harvest. If you are not familiar with Local Harvest, it’s worth checking out their blogs, forums, and the Local Harvest Store, which specializes in products from family farms. You can also sign up to be notified about food and farming events in your area.
Signing up for mailing lists and newsletters from your favorite healthy food establishments is another way to ensure a steady stream of yummy goodness to your inbox. I receive a monthly newsletter from the restaurant where I did my apprenticeship, which always includes a recipe or two.
As you know, we are pretty into fitness at my house, so I signed up for newsletter from Runner’s World, which feeds me nutrition advice, recipes, and training tips - all of which help keep me motivated and inspired to eat well and train well. With a 20-mile run in store for tomorrow morning, I’ll take all the inspiration I can get!
What about you? What are some of your favorite sources for healthy food news and ideas?
We like Nutrition Action Healthletter, published by Center for Science in the Public Interest. They feature comprehensive, hard science-based articles on all aspects of food and health. They also publish great recipes by the “Healthy Cook,” hold manufacturers accountable for nutrition and health claims, do balanced critiques of “health” organizations and movements,
AND have a monthly feature honoring good (‘Right Stuff’) and bad (‘Food Porn’) developments in the food market. All in all a superb running partner with “Yummy”!!
Yes! I used to subscribe myself…perhaps I should start it again. Thanks for the reminder!
