If you want to live longer, you should eat more healthily, and one way to do that–according to most experts–is to incorporate nutrient-rich microgreens into your diet.
Doctor’s Orders is a family-operated business that sells seeds, supplies and kits for growing many different varieties of sprouts; all in the convenience of one’s own home.
With many Americans switching to or modifying plant-based diets to improve both their physical health and emotional well-being, there has also been increased interest recently in lifestyle medicine, which is something the Mueller family knows a thing or two about.
Doctor’s Orders owners Donna Mueller, D.O., C-IAYT, and Eric Mueller, D.O., are practitioners of it at their Hellertown practice, Lehigh Valley Osteopathy for Everybody LLC, and through their business Yoga Therapy of the Lehigh Valley.
The Muellers and their children have led free yoga classes at the market several times this season. They offer more information about yoga therapy at SVFM and on their website.
Stop by the Doctor’s Orders booth to learn more about how to get a jump start on a healthier lifestyle. Before long, you could be on your way to living your best life, naturally.
