Living A Healthy Lifestyle in South Florida-Publix Goes Green

Greenwise Logo 

South Florida’s unlimited sunshine and great weather are very conducive to living a healthier lifestyle.   With the increase of baby boomers approaching retirement demands for wellness and healthy living are becoming more apparent.

Publix Supermarkets, the primary supermarket in South Florida is opening up Greenwise Markets. 

According to their website.. “This is a one-stop shopping destination for anyone who appreciates organic, all-natural, and earth-friendly products, excellent food, and a thoroughly enjoyable shopping experience. Here, you can enjoy a delicious freshly prepared meal, surf the Internet, or fill your basket with artisan cheeses, fine wines, handcrafted fresh breads, and much more.”  Click here for Greenwise website

A Greenwise Market is being built across the street from Canyon Ranch Living luxury condominium in Miami.   Now that certainly makes a lot of sense.

Reasons Why Living In South Florida Is So Great

 Lincoln Road Miami Beach

Well  I do have 100 reasons, but I will start with:

  • Sunshine and great weather just about everyday of the year

  • Magnificent beaches all along the coast

  • An awe inspiring tropical backdrop

  • Fantastic Shopping

  • Unlimited restaurant choices offering diversity and quality

  • Numerous fine golf courses both public and private

  • World Class Fishing

  • Scuba and Snorkeling

  • Great cutting edge cultural influences

  • Art Basel-Miami Beach

  • South Beach

  • Miami Dolphins, Miami Heat, Florida Panthers, Miami Hurricanes

  • Diversification of people from all over the world

  • Horse Racing, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino and other gaming centers

  • A great vacation destination for people from all over the world.

  • A relaxed lifestyle or not: Dress casually and live casually or not. Both work just fine

  • Opportunities to live a city lifestyle or live in a suburban family oriented community

I could go on and on with my list but I am stopping here for now. This translates for many into a great environment to live a healthy, intellectually stimulating, culturally rich lifestyle.  South Florida is a unique great place to live.
