Why I Started Gardening

Most people go to the grocery store or local farmers market for their produce. So why do I go through all the trouble of growing all of mine in my garden? Two reasons! One, because I find gardening to be a very therapeutic process, especially with the hectic pace of life sometimes. I find that gardening helps me slow down and connect to not only my mind and body, but to the Earth. And two, because it makes it easier for me to eat healthy! Having a home garden means I have access to healthier foods that I can easily incorporate into my meals.

Do you garden? Or would you start one? Let me know in the comments!

Let’s talk about the power of potassium.

Potassium is a mineral that is essential to the maintenance of proper neural and muscle function. Alongside sodium, it creates what’s known as a concentration gradient that assists in heartbeat regulation and muscle contraction.

The problem? Sodium probably lives in a shaker in your kitchen, but potassium does not. And the average adult needs 4,700 mg of potassium daily.

Aching or stiff muscles, tingling, numbness, and/or heart palpitations can also be indicative of low potassium. However, when potassium levels are just right, blood pressure stay in balance, which protects you against strokes, kidney stones, and more serious muscle or nervous system conditions.

Make sure you incorporate some potassium into your diet this week!
