Eat Real Food
One day last summer Scott, Washington Square’s Grocery Manager, was showing us some new packaged products formulated under the guidelines of a popular fad diet. We just looked at each other, rolled our eyes, and wondered aloud why we can’t learn to just “eat real food”? Then it hit us. Maybe it’s time to start our own fad! You’ve seen our buttons, and now we’re spreading the word: Eat Real Food!

So, what do we mean by “real food”? We’re talking about food as it has been presented from nature – whole, fresh, and minimally processed. Real foods retain all the naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and fiber, while providing the highest quality proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. And they avoid chemical additives such as synthetic nutrients, preservatives, flavorings, colorings, and hydrogenated oils.

The USDA’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans, based on the latest scientific findings, reinforce the importance of nutrient-dense foods from all food groups. Most Americans are not underfed but are undernourished. Real foods in each food group supply us with nutrients needed to maintain our physical and mental well-being, while helping us fight disease. And they taste great! Choose a variety of real foods from each group every day.

Whole Grains
As a complex carbohydrate, whole grains add fiber, essential B vitamins, and minerals.

Vegetables
Vegetables provide us with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. They are naturally low in calories, which makes them the perfect nutrient-dense food. The darker the color is, the richer the antioxidant content.

Fruits
Just like vegetables, fruits in their whole form provide our bodies with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Choose fruits from every color group for optimum nutrient balance.

Dairy
Cultured dairy products like yogurt and kefir contain probiotics, which are friendly bacteria that support intestinal health and the immune system.

Meats
Meats (and poultry) provide us with protein, which is essential for building tissue and muscle. It is crucial for most of the enzyme activity that takes place in the body. Meats are also a good source of iron, zinc, and other minerals.

Seafood
Fish is an excellent source of protein and is low in saturated fat. Cold-water fish such as wild salmon contain the beneficial omega-3 fatty acids that support brain and eye health, and may reduce the risk of heart disease.

Nuts and Seeds
A delicious source of protein and fiber, nuts and seeds also contain heart-healthy unsaturated fats. Walnuts and flax seeds are the best plant sources of omega-3 fats, almonds are loaded with vitamin E, and Brazil nuts are a rich source of selenium.

Legumes
Beans and lentils are an excellent source of low-fat protein. They are rich in minerals like potassium, and are one of the best sources of soluble fiber for intestinal balance.

Join us this month as we launch our “Eat Real Food” campaign. You’ll notice how many more of our associates are sporting “Eat Real Food” buttons, and they’ll be happy to assist you with any “real food” questions you may have. Stop by the “Eat Real Food” booth at our annual Health Fair at our Springboro location on Saturday, April 29 for additional information and handouts. And while you shop during April and May, look for our “real food” tastings throughout the store. And help us spread the word: Eat Real Food!

There is no charge for the presentations, but we suggest arriving early to secure a seat.

Downstairs in the Healthy Living department, you’ll have an opportunity to speak to company representatives from our supplement and natural body care lines. They are ready to load you up with samples and information, and door prizes will be given away throughout the day!

Make sure to take the time to browse the store to sample the delicious tastings from many of our favorite vendors. Earthbound Farm, Organic Valley, Hartzler Milk, Creekside Creamery, Hill Family Farm, and Morning Sun Organics will be there to offer you the best of “real food”.

This is truly a day to celebrate health and wellness, and we can’t think of anyone more deserving than our customers. This event is free, so bring the family and friends. See you there!
