We all need to recognize that the choices we make in regard to our diet will have repercussions on our long-term health and well- being. What we eat really does play a role in disease and life expectancy. You can’t turn back the clock, but you can start feeling better today.

Even though my father’s passing wasn’t a surprise, that doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt to lose him. If Dad had eaten better, maybe he would still be with us. At the very least, I believe he would have felt a lot better at the end of his life.

TESTIMONIAL At October Kitchen, our mission is to provide delicious, nourishing meals. In doing so, we hope to help our clients lead healthy and independent lives. Nothing fills our hearts more than to know we’ve succeeded in our goal when we hear such kind words from our clients. “I first heard of October Kitchen when we were purchasing meals for my grandfather who was 100 years old. I have since started ordering meals because I am a single mom of 5-year-old twins. I work full time and my life is crazy busy. The fact that I don’t have to cook, but I’m getting nutritious meals, has been very helpful in juggling my many responsibilities that a single parent must face. And the best part is it’s very reasonably priced. If I were to purchase the same ingredients to cook myself, it would cost the same. Thank you, October Kitchen, for making my day a little easier!”
And above all else, avoid trans fats!
