Three Healthy Products You Wish You Knew About Earlier
The pressure of starting fresh in the new year can, honestly, be a little intimidating. After two months of a ‘treat yo’self’ attitude filled with turkey, potatoes and Christmas cookies, you’re now expected to get the new calendar year off to a healthy, refreshing start — yikes. But it doesn’t have to be all diets and fasting (or page-long lists of New Year’s resolutions). There are simple ways to jump into a new lifestyle in a seamless, effortless way. By forgoing any drastic changes and simply swapping out some of your everyday products for healthier, more efficient products, you’ll start 2019 off with a commitment to a better lifestyle.
It’s easy to get into a rut when it comes to the brands you buy, especially products as simple as dairy and produce. But three brands — Wyman’s Frozen Fruit, Maple Hill Creamery and Orgain — offer elevated alternatives to your everyday groceries. You might not think that making smarter shopping choices for things as mundane as fruit, milk, and protein can make a large impact, but these brands are dedicated to showing you that a little change can make a big impact.
And while this alone should make you consider ditching temperamental fresh fruit for frozen, the fact that Wyman’s Frozen Fruit, which offers wild blueberries, tropical berry with coconuts and cherry berry with kale, is committed to sustainable agriculture and health of honeybees should be enough to sway you. By swapping your fruit for Wyman’s wild blueberries, you are also getting two times the amount of antioxidant power than regular cultivated blueberries — an easy change that makes a big difference.

Milk is another product you often buy without putting much thought into your selection. But by doing so, you’re doing yourself and your family a bigger disservice than you realize. While cows are meant to eat grass, most are fed a diet of corn and grain. Grass-fed cows are healthier and live up to two- to three-times longer than grain- or corn-fed cows. Maple Hill Creamery is dedicated to feeding their cows only grass year-around, making their organic whole and 2% reduced fat milk an optimal option. Their milk is also higher in beta carotene, a precursor for vitamin A, than competitors, which promotes a strong immune system, eye health and vibrant, healthy skin. If milk is something that frequents your shopping list, ensure you are making the best possible choice for your family by selecting 100% grass-fed organic dairy.
