Superfoods are waiting for us in the produce aisle and their effect on our bodies is impressive. After talking with Yaakov Levine, Therapy practitioner and Nutritional Health Coach at Natural Grocers in Eugene, Oregon, Sue and Candace have been experimenting with other ways to bring more greens into their lives. From hydroponics to a simple sprout jar, indoor gardening is a key part of a nutritional supplement approach for the health conscience gardener.
