Keying in On Warm Weather Eating

Shifting weather patterns and eating patterns is how are bodies best vibe nutritionally.  It’s meant to be that we eat with the seasons to create a diet full of diversity in nutrients and flavors.

This past week I put that shift into top speed as I headed down to the Florida Keys for some sunshine and fresh summertime eating.  

The Keys combine a magical mix of Caribbean chill and Mainland energy.  The food and drinks sync with that dichotomy as well.  Nutritionally you can’t beat the health benefits of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids from the local seafood. And beyond the famous key lime, the islands are full of fresh produce with vital micronutrients in abundance!
