Though I truly enjoy indulging in a glass of wine (or two) and dessert during a fun dinner out, health and wellness are truly important to me. I am absolutely fascinated by nutrition and often find myself researching and seeking out new health trends and how I can apply them to my own lifestyle.
#KoolKeeperSummer Health-Conscious Hangouts
Contributing Author Georgia Thompson
Of all of the characteristics I adore about Austin, this city’s emphasis on and love for fitness and health has always excited me. While it seems as if the rest of the country is trending towards healthier food and restaurant options, Austin truly was a leader in this domain (hint, hint...Whole Foods). For me, simply being in the city this summer has allowed me to embrace local, seasonal produce from farmers markets around the city. And though I’ve loved cooking and creating healthy meals using these ingredients, I’ve also come to love Austin’s restaurants dedicated to fresh, nutritious dishes.
In a previous post (which you can find here), I touched upon a couple of my favorite health-conscious hangouts, True Food Kitchen and Fresa's, so don’t miss out on reading up on those.
