FINAL CHANCE TONIGHT! Online ticket sales end @ 11:30pm for this Saturday’s Health Optimization Indian Buffet! (We just added a few more spots due to popular demand—don’t miss out!)
Hey Villagers and fellow health enthusiasts in The Villages, Lady Lake, Ocala, Summerfield, Wildwood, and surrounding areas! 🌿🍛
In our 55+ community, we all know the key to staying vibrant, active, and independent as long as possible: surrounding yourself with like-minded people who are serious about doing the best for their health. That means meeting in person, sharing experiences, and supporting each other to prevent chronic issues—or even reverse them—like high blood pressure, prediabetes, fatigue, joint discomfort, and more.
This one-of-a-kind event this Saturday, Feb 7 at 11:30 AM at Bombay Bistro in Summerfield is exactly that kind of gathering!
It’s the ONLY place you’ll find a delicious, all-you-can-eat Indian buffet that’s truly prepared to not harm your health:
100% plant-based & vegan
ZERO added oil (max 10% calories from fat)
ZERO added salt/sodium
ZERO refined sugar (natural sweeteners like dates, maple, or molasses only)
Whole plant foods, flavorful curries, dals, veggies, rice, and even a guilt-free dessert!
Mostly gluten-free options (with labels)
No sneaky ingredients that sabotage your efforts—just real, tasty Indian cuisine made to optimize health. It’s fun, social, and truly guilt-free!
You’ll dine alongside Mike & Denise ‘55 years’ Young—living, breathing examples of what consistent healthy choices look like. They’re proof that vibrant aging is possible, and they’ll be right there chatting and inspiring everyone!
This is your chance to:
Connect face-to-face with other proactive locals fighting the “silver tsunami” of chronic conditions
Bring a skeptical friend or neighbor for a “just taste it” experience—show them food can support health instead of harming it
Vote with your dollar in a real grassroots way—support restaurants offering truly healthy prep and our all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit aPlantBasedDiet.org (your ticket is tax-deductible!)
Pricing alert: Grab advance tickets at just $20 per adult (tax & water included) + tip before tonight’s cutoff! After 11:30pm, if any remain, it’s $30. Kids under 9 half price, 3 & under free. Space is very limited—no walk-ins!
Secure your spot now: www.eventbrite.com/e/1980195116900?aff=oddtdtcreat…
Tag your pickleball buddy, golf partner, bridge friend, or neighbor who could use this boost! Who’s joining us? Drop a 🌱🍲 or “Count me in!” below—let’s pack this place with positive, health-focused energy! 💪❤️
