When it comes to health, D’Anna Da’Camara of The Grainery Health Food Store (130 NE F) thinks it’s important to listen to what your body is telling you.
“Disease is simply dis-ease, because the body is designed to heal itself,” D’Anna said. “Symptoms are simply the body speaking to us, telling us to take action and correct the condition. And that’s what we do here at The Grainery. We educate people about different options and approaches for health and wellness. We provide free resources, literature and samples of all of our products. Every product is backed by science. Knowledge is power, and we empower our people.”
