Wow! I receive this box of goodies from Thrive Market recently. Thrive Market is a great way to stock up on hard to find staples that you may not be able to find in the organic section of your local grocery store. And if you do find them, chances are the price makes you shudder.
Wholesome Products. Wholesale Prices.
What a great slogan! In addition to wholesale prices which many times are 25- 50% below retail, Thrive Market gives you a free trial membership. You can try out Thrive Market for a month, enjoy free shipping on orders over $49 and have your grocery staples delivered right to your door.
Thrive Market is also one of those companies that believes in giving back to make the world a better place and help those less fortunate. For every membership sold, Thrive Market donates a free membership to a teacher or a low income family who wouldn’t other wise have access to healthy products at affordable prices. Several of the brands they carry also give back as well!
How cool is that? You shop and purchase the gmo-free products you need at wholesale prices, and at the same time you are helping families in need be able to obtain healthy products as well! There is just something about giving back that sits well with me and I love to support businesses that share this philosophy as well.

We, Mildred and I are interested in eating the correct foods. At the age of 83 and less excrise than the past it appears that two meals a day are almost sufficent. Having said that we find it easier to eat out at various restruants. What do you reccomend we should look for on the restruant menu?
Great question! I recommend that 2/3 or 3/4 of your plate be filled with vegetables and go for variety. I know that the two of you often split and entree which I think is a great idea since most restaurant portions are too large. From their I would ask your server to bring you an additional serving of vegetables or consider asking for a side of a different vegetable that the two of you could share thus increasing your variety. When it comes to vegetables think of filling your plate with color. Go for more leafy greens, crucifers (broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower) and less white potatoes. Consider entrees with legumes (beans) as they are packed full of nutrients, high in fiber, have no cholesterol and are a great source of protein making them a good substitute for meat. Choose brown rice over white rice and limit the bread to one piece as is made from processed and refined grains and sugar.
