Bright Colours, Big Benefits: Why Eating In-Season Matters

In this episode of Stars and Stories, Gerald Quigley, practising Community Pharmacist and Accredited Herbalist, joins MJ to talk about one of the simplest and most powerful ways to support your health—eating in-season, brightly coloured fruits and vegetables.   Gerald explains how foods like plums, apricots, tomatoes, and beetroot are packed with natural compounds that benefit your heart, eyes, and brain. When produce is in season, it's not only fresher and more flavourful, it's also nutritionally richer—giving your body exactly what it needs, naturally.   Gerald highlights that real, whole food is still one of our best tools for feeling well and staying well.   Tune in to learn how choosing colourful, seasonal produce could be the simplest step toward better health. ----more----   Stars and Stories Podcast Broadcasting straight from the heart of Remote Communities, Black Star Radio brings a fresh twist to local radio with stories, music, and connections that matter.
