June Products of the Month 

I feel like kimchi is having a moment right now and I’m excited about it. The first time I can remember eating kimchi was at a Korean BBQ spot I used to go to in New York. I was intrigued by its tangy yet sweet and spicy flavor and have loved it ever since. Kimchi is a traditional Korean dish that is typically made by fermenting vegetables, most commonly napa cabbage, with a variety of seasonings, such as chili pepper, garlic, ginger, and salted seafood. It is most known for its probiotic and gut healing properties but is also anti-inflammatory, nutrient dense and good for heart health. My favorite thing to put kimchi on is eggs but I also eat it with rice, salads and meats. 

This one is for all the coconut lovers out there. I personally am obsessed with anything coconut and was excited to learn about all of its health benefits. Coconut is a rich source of healthy fat, supporting skin, hair, immune and heart health. It provides essential nutrients and antioxidants like iron, vitamins C, E and B-complex vitamins. Coconut milk has become a pantry staple for me, I use it in everything from curries and soups to smoothies and sauces. Just be sure to buy full fat to reap all those health benefits.

While this may not be classified as a “health product,” I can't resist sharing. We're all aware of the various health benefits associated with drinking water, but let's face it, sometimes drinking plain water can be boring. That’s when I pour myself a glass of this sparkling water sent to us from the mountain gods. Imagine drinking water straight from a fresh water spring on the side of a mountain (with a few added bubbles). I usually squeeze a lime in there for ultra refreshment.
