"For many, diving into the winter months means more indoor time, endless germs, coughing children, less availability of fresh produce, and less sunlight. All of these wonderful factors swirl together to increase the prevalence of communicable illnesses, leaving us sneezing and achy. You can certainly load up on supplements, but did you know that plenty of fruits and vegetables are loaded with those same essential immunity boosters?"
"After getting my certification from Cornell in plant-based nutrition and spending years developing disease-reversing, immunity-boosting, and weight-loss-inducing meal plans, I found myself developing recipes a little differently than before. The primary focus was, of course, to create a delicious and dynamic dish, but I also added some emphasis on intentionally selecting ingredients for healing. I'm sure your mother has told you to eat your fruits"
Winter conditions increase indoor time, reduce fresh produce availability and sunlight, and raise exposure to germs, which heightens communicable illness risk. Supplements can help, but many fruits and vegetables naturally contain key immune-supporting nutrients such as vitamin C, carotenoids, and anthocyanins. Plant-based meal planning can intentionally pair healing ingredients to create flavorful, immunity-focused dishes that are disease-preventing and supportive of weight management. Nutrient-dense berries supply pigments with antioxidant properties that can reduce inflammation and support immune function. Incorporating a variety of colorful produce into regular meals offers accessible food-based strategies to bolster defenses during flu season.
