Supporting Local Forth Worth Farms this Summer

Nutrition plays a critical role in any workout regimen: it’s not just about what you’re doing ON the mat, what you’re doing OFF the mat matters too. Especially when it comes to what we’re putting on our plates. Fueling the body with the right nutrients is essential for optimal performance and recovery. Balancing macronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats ensures sustained energy levels during exercise and supports muscle repair post-workout. By prioritizing nutrition alongside exercise, individuals can maximize their fitness results and overall well-being.

When I can, I really support eating local. Eating produce from local Fort Worth farms offers numerous benefits. By purchasing fruits and vegetables grown nearby, you are supporting local farmers and our own community economy. The produce is fresher since it doesn't travel long distances, maintaining its nutritional value and flavor. Locally sourced ingredients also tend to be grown using fewer pesticides and chemicals, promoting a healthier diet. Additionally, buying local reduces carbon emissions associated with transportation, contributing to a more sustainable food system. Overall, choosing locally produced produce is a simple yet impactful way to enjoy fresh, healthy food while supporting local businesses and the environment.
