3 Ways Visiting Farmers’ Markets in Delray Can Benefit Your Recovery
Those who have been impacted by drug or alcohol abuse know that addiction is a thief. It steals your time, money, valued relationships, and especially your health. Addiction steals your attention away from balanced nutrition and maintaining a workout schedule when given the option. Over time this will cause nutritional deficits that can negatively impact your mental and physical health.
Now that you’re in recovery, it’s important to take measures to get your health back in order. This can be done by taking vitamins, supplements, and of course eating fresh, organic fruits, vegetables, and meat. Shopping at local farmer’s markets is a great way to fulfill this need and support your recovery. Other benefits of shopping at a Farmer’s Market during recovery include:
- You’re getting fresh, organic produce, meat, dairy, and a wealth of other quality products. It’s important to eat nutrient-dense, clean food when in recovery to replenish your body’s natural supply.
- You are putting money in the hands of hard-working, small businesses which helps the local economy. It can feel very fulfilling to contribute to someone else’s success which releases dopamine, a chemical in the brain responsible for pleasure.
- Generally, farmer’s markets do not serve alcohol. Many farmer’s markets also accept SNAP so truly all are welcomed.
