Live It Up with Live Well

Live Well by Kowalski's

Something interesting is always "cooking" at Kowalski's. That makes both food and shopping with us adventurous and fun. Live Well takes the place of our previous program, Good Foods for Good Health.

Like Good Foods for Good Health, Live Well is a can-do initiative designed to help you enjoy a vibrant, healthy life. Besides identifying foods throughout our stores that are excellent choices for eating well, Live Well casts a wider net to highlight more within our stores that can help you be well. Take a look.

Live Well Foods

Each Live Well food meets certain health-focused criteria that science and research have indicated are important.

  • We look at foods in their entirety, focusing both on ingredient lists and nutritional content. Foods are tagged if they can contribute positively toward your health. For foods that don't offer much nutritionally, such as salad dressings and chips, we consider the wholesome nature of the ingredients along with the fat, sugar and sodium contribution they make to one's diet.
     
  • We don't include foods that contain artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners and other ingredients that research questions as healthful.
     
  • We're fans of Mother Nature. She's built in a nifty synergy between the nutrients naturally occurring in foods. Overly fortifying foods can throw off that balance and may negatively affect how well nutrients are used in the body. Therefore, we steer clear of including them in our Live Well selections.
     
  • We pay attention to how foods are made and favor producers, farmers and local entrepreneurs who, like us, care deeply about sustainability and quality, care about their customers and their craft, and take pride in how their products are grown, raised and produced.

You can find plenty of nonfood products sporting the Live Well tag, too.

  • Flowers, plants and other items designed to make you happy and which contribute to your well-being are front and center in every store.
     
  • Look for gadgets and tools that make meal preparation a healthful snap, such as air fryers, avocado peelers, herb shredders, corn huskers and more. Cool cookbooks peppered throughout the stores will infuse new ideas into your cooking repertoire.
