Local Food on Oprah.Oprah did a wonderful show on local food this past week. She was inspired by the documentary film Food, Inc. Oprah’s guest was local food activist and author Michael Pollan. Our local food movement just got a shot in the arm and such exposure goes along way to building credibility. At Farmfreshdirect2u.com we have always valued, grass-fed beef, organic eggs, and grass-fed raw milk. Especially raw milk produced locally for us in the Orlano area. For those who missed it check out the links below.

Farm Fresh Food on Oprah

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009This movie will open your eyes to how food is produced and marketed in the US. Our industrial production model views animals as units of to be sold instead of gifts of nature who sacrifice their lives for our sustenance.
Farm fresh foods are becoming increasingly available. Local food from small farmers provide grass-fed beef, free range eggs, raw milk, and pastured chickens. Farmers markets are teeming with local organic produce of all kinds. Seek and ye will find!
The film is now in Orlando at the Regal Winter Park Village 20.

Monday, June 29th, 2009This video speaks loud and clear. So much of our processed foods have these artificial flavors to imitate the taste of real foods. So have a savory grass fed steak with an array of organic vegetables. Stick with real food, bought from your local farmer.

Green Pasture's Cod Liver Oil
Cod liver oil has been used as a health supplement for hundreds of years. It has proven to be one of the most reliable and concentrated food sources. It contains four nutrients that are essential to good health:
Omega 3’s
DHA Fatty Acid. Essential to the health of the nervous system and eyes.
EPA Fatty Acid. Promotes a healthy cardiovascular system and decreases inflammation.
Vitamins
Vitamin A. Necessary for proper vision, healthy skin, a strong immune function and healthy mucosal linings.
Vitamin D. Enhances the strength and efficiency of the immune system. It also helps the body absorb calcium and magnesium, which helps regulate blood pressure and build strong teeth and bones.
Studies have shown that regularly consuming cod liver oil:
Promotes a strong, healthy cardiovascular system
Supports healthy energy levels and mental concentration
Helps regulate normal blood sugar levels
Reduces wrinkles, fights free radical damage and promotes clear skin
Eases arthritis pain and inflammation
Lowers blood pressure induced by stress and high levels of cortisol
When choosing a cod liver oil, it is important to find a brand that is free of PCBs, mercury and other chemical contaminants.
Along with cod liver oil consumption, choose foods that are also high in vital nutrients and enzymes, including grass-fed beef, free-range poultry, farm fresh organic eggs and produce, raw milk and cheese —all produced without man-made chemicals, hormones, pesticides, dyes, or additives

The Best Way to Prevent the Flu – or Any Illness – is Through a Healthy Diet
With all the news circulating in the media about the “swine flu,” flu prevention is a hot topic in Central Florida and across the nation.
While washing your hands, getting plenty of rest, exercising and avoiding stress are great ways to prevent any type of influenza, virus or cold, these steps are not the total answer. The best and easiest way to strengthen your immune system, so that the body will resist any type of illness or disease, is to adopt a natural, organic diet.
Eating foods rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, essential fats and probiotics – like raw milk, grass-fed beef and free-range chickens and eggs – is necessary for building a strong immune system.
Raw organic grass-fed milk, which is produced without pesticides or antibiotics from cows that graze on grass and hay, is loaded with immune-building enzymes, vitamins C, B12 and B6, and beneficial bacteria (probiotics).
Grass-fed organic beef from cows that are raised in the sunshine and fed a natural diet of grass and hay contains essential saturated fat, which aids in brain function and supports the immune system.
Free-range eggs from chickens allowed to roam free and eat a natural diet have more omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12 in their meat and egg yolks than chickens fed grain.
Organic raw milk, fresh farm eggs and poultry, and grass-fed beef can help build a healthy immune system and keep the flu bug at bay.
