Here some simple tips to eat well and stay healthy during winter:
- Choose Nutrient-Dense Foods: As the weather cools down, our bodies crave heartier meals. Choose for nutrient-dense options like slow-cooked casseroles, stews, and soups, packed with energy-rich root vegetables and a serving of protein to keep you satisfied.
- Embrace Warmth: In colder months, focus on warm meals as they’re easier to digest. Include lightly cooked leafy greens and swap salads for a generous serving of greens in your meals to boost your antioxidant intake and support your immunity.
- Go for Color: Including colorful foods like carrots, red capsicum, berries, and pomegranates into your diet. These are rich in antioxidants which have anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties.
- Citrus and Vitamin C: Enjoy seasonal citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, and limes for a daily dose of immune-boosting vitamin C. Also, you can drink juices.
- Warm Spices: Spice up your meals with turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, curry powder, paprika, and cumin. These not only add flavor but also offer various health benefits.
- Hydration and Mindfulness: Stay hydrated by sipping on herbal teas and embrace mindfulness by eating without distractions. Try to avoid using your mobile, laptop, or watching TV during meal times to focus on your food and eat more mindfully.
These simple adjustments to your diet and eating habits can make a big difference in keeping you healthy and nourished during the winter months.
