Two healthy turns to remember

BY HRISHIKESH DAS GUPTA

I was not familiar with seamoss, also known as “Irish Moss” and its numerous health benefits until I met team Seamoss N Tingz at a Caribbean food festival. Seamoss has always been a part of the Caribbean household. The vegan superfood contains 92 of the 102 mineral nutrients that our body requires daily and 15 of the 18 essential elements that make up the human body. Karen Blackman Stewart and Michael Stewart, founders of Seamoss N Tingz worked very hard to prepare the real wildcrafted seamoss gel and establish their seamoss brand.

The birth of “Seamoss N Tingz” is truly inspiring. Micheal and Karen’s daughter used to get a cold easily during flu season and become extremely congested. Michael and Karen introduced plant-based sources (almond/coconut milk) to their daughters’ diet and noticed a vast improvement in her health condition.

After that, Michael and Karen switched to a plant-based diet and incorporated seamoss into their daily routine. The family realized a significant improvement in their metabolism and immune system after adapting seamoss in their daily routine. Karen no longer has menstrual cramps and Michael also overcame his overweight issues. They decided to introduce their new family member to the community who would enjoy the healthy benefits and name it “Seamoss N Tingz”.

All their seamoss is naturally harvested from the ocean and they prepare all the orders in their vegan kitchen. A lot of customers observed a vast improvement in their inflammation, excess fat, acne, weakened immune systems after adopting the product. During the holiday season, they donated $5 from every purchase to the Pinball Clemons Foundation.

“Leaf is life. Your health is your priority, and a plant-based lifestyle can heal all your negativity. Food is not what we see, food is what we feel. Great food gives us true strength and heals all our inner pain to make us feel better.”
Norris, Founder of Leafy Green Juice Bar

I visited Leafy Green Juice Bar located at 2466 Eglinton Ave E #9, Scarborough to taste plant-origin food and left with so much positivity and life lessons. Norris, the founder of Leafy Juice Green bar, works every day from 11 am – 3 pm to offer the greatest food and drink to their customers. He is pushing all the boundaries to provide us the BEST plant-based food. He spends a significant amount of time sanitizing the bar and purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables. He is also a wellness coach, fitness trainer and Leafy Green brand ambassador promoting green lifestyle. I found a lifestyle in the healing juices and energetic foods. You will find life in each of their wide variety of juices. The positive energy and sincere desire of Norris is to help customers make this place one of the leading plant-based juice bars in Scarborough.

Plant-based food and seamoss were only dictionary words to me, but my food exploration helped me to learn more about those healthy living lifestyles. Thanks, Norris and team Seamoss N Tingz for the lifestyle education.
