Eating for Immunity
The immune system is the body’s defense against infections. When it is working well, the immune system can help protect against illnesses and infections.
One Pan Meals
Quiche and frittatas are quite easy to make and so versatile, using a combination of vegetables, proteins, and cheeses remaining from the week’s meal prep.
Beyond Meatless Mondays
Whether it is for health, animal welfare, or environmental reasons, more people are
embracing meat-free meals, adding more plant based proteins.
Health Bites.
Bite #1 – Being Idle
Being idle can lead to some extra snacking that you wouldn’t normally do. Don’t grab the whole bag, box or carton of your snack. Portion out just enough into a separate container to help keep your intake balanced.
Bite #4 – New Learnings
Learn something new, a craft, game, or skill. This can contribute to brain health, wellness, and can be social by joining groups or using video chats
Bite #2 – Relaxing at Home
When relaxing at home, it can be easy to fall into a groove and forget to eat, stretch, and take breaks.
Set alarm to get up and stretch to avoid sitting all day and to give your eyes a rest.
Bite #5 – Veggie Dislike
If there is a vegetable you aren’t fond of, give it another chance by roasting it instead. Roasting locks in and enhances the natural flavors compared to steaming and boiling.
Bite #3 – Reduce Red Meat
The benefits of reducing red meat and increasing vegetables are many. This doesn’t mean that carnivores need to “become” vegetarians. Choosing plant-forward meals can be a healthy part of anyone’s diet.
Bite #6 – Preplan Your Meals
Whether eating in or dining out preplanning can save time during the day. It can also help avoid searching through the fridge for snacks and unhealthy choices.

Blueberries
Don’t discount the blueberry based on its size! Blueberries are power-packed with antioxidants that are known to support both heart and brain health! One cup of blueberries has 84 calories and 3.6 gm fiber. In addition, they are a good source of vitamin K1, vitamin C, and manganese.
Blueberries can shine at breakfast by enhancing
hot and cold cereals, muffins, or overnight oat recipes.
Cabbage
Cabbage is a member of the cruciferous vegetable family that includes brussels sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower. One serving of cabbage is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin C and vitamin B6. It is also a very good source of manganese, dietary fiber, potassium, vitamin B1, folate, and copper.
For greatest nutrition benefit, purchase fresh cabbage and use in a
stir-fry, soups, or even roasted.
Grapefruit
Grapefruit is a well-known citrus fruit that is an excellent source of Vitamins A and C. Choose grapefruits in the winter months as this is when citrus fruit ripens and they are more likely to be fresh. When shopping, pick a grapefruit that is heavy for its size and has a little softness when squeezed.
Grapefruit can be served
in a variety of ways. Add slices as a salad topping, as a snack, a citrus relish, or in a fruit salad.
Avocado
Avocado is the only fruit that contains heart-healthy monounsaturated fat – good fat! Their naturally creamy texture is a perfect substitute for mayo and sour cream. Use it as a sandwich spread, incorporated into chicken and egg salads, to spice up deviled eggs and baked potatoes, and even serve as the main ingredient!
Experiment with avocados as a side item for an omelet, tossed in a salad or soup, or blended in a smoothie.

Sweet Potato
Sweet potatoes are nutrient powerhouses with vitamin C, fiber, potassium, vitamin E, iron, magnesium and phytochemicals. Just one medium sweet potato provides enough vitamin A for the whole day! Vitamin A also plays roles in other functions including growth and development, immunity, and red blood cell production.
Serve as the main course, as a side, in a soup, or use the puree form in smoothies or in baking.
