Haven of health

It’s not that hard for me to find inspiration and motivation at a health food store. All the reading of supplement labels and flipping of pages in health books makes me want to add or remove this or that from my diet. I’ve found that small, but consistent changes work best for me. One of my favorite Hudson Valley health food stores is Beacon Natural Foods. This cozy and inviting health-minded grocer on Main Street in Beacon has not only my staples like a multi-vitamin and almond butter, but things I haven’t jumped on like kombucha (on tap) and wheatgrass (freshly made shots or in a smoothie).

The store’s deli counter mixes up snacks, main courses and sides: juices and wheatgrass shots, shiitake marinated chicken, cashew and pecan gumbo, garlic sesame string beans, and chickpea and kale salad.  They have fresh fruits and veggies and personal care products and gifts. If health is your priority and you’re looking for motivation, unplug and head over to Beacon Natural Foods for some hands-on inspiration.
