Make the most of this seasons diversity
When it comes to eating a healthy diet – we all know that diversity is absolutely key. Yet what many people forget to consider is the well known saying – ‘the poison is in the dose’. Whilst eating a diverse diet is great for obtaining a broad range of nutrients, it is also great for ensuring we are not exposed, inadvertently, to high levels of contaminants and forever chemicals that now pollute our entire planet.
One common sense approach we can take to guard against contaminants in our environment and minimise the impact this has on our health, is to eat foods from healthy regenerating ecosystems. Equally importantly, it is crucial to eat the most diverse diet possible, so we do not consume large amounts of any one food.
Nature ensures this happens through seasonal eating, well spread out sources of nutrition and various plant and animal defences. Yet in our man made world we have lost this protection, as we can simply choose to eat the same foods repeatedly whenever we want them!
Be sure to get your orders in to ensure you are able to benefit from the additional dietary diversity that these game birds offer.
The legal limitations around game season reminds us that we can’t just eat what we want, when we want to eat it. Populations of game need time to breed and recover their numbers. There are legal restrictions in place that make certain species unavailable for us to shoot at certain times of the year.
We are just coming to the close of the season for many game birds in our shop this affects our availability of pheasant, partridge and wild duck You now only have a brief window of opportunity to give yourself the most diverse diet this year!
