A visit to Springs of Life Health Food store in downtown Covington, Louisiana is a refreshing experience in these fast paced times. Originated in 1984 as a food coop out of
Nancy Fitzmorris' dedication to providing live healthy food for
her own family, it is truly a community store.
Nancy welcomes her customers who stroll the aisles chatting with her, her staff, and with each other. It is not unusual to see Nancy standing in the aisle with a customer answering questions about a food, or supplement, or how the body works.
They read labels and browse books such as,
Your Body's Many Cries for Water
by F.P. Batmanghelidj, MD
What Your Doctor May Not Tell You
About Menopause by John R. Lee, MD
Don't Drink Your Milk by Frank Oaki, MD
ADD and Ritalin by Dr. Mary Block
and shop for healthy organic foods. A rich lending library of educational tapes is also available to visitors on topics
such as
· Hormones
· ADD/ADHD
· General Nutrition
In addition, many handouts on a variety of nutritional information are made available, at no cost to customers. Nancy also meets privately in her store office with families and individuals to provide individualized nutritional counseling for specific concerns.
