Add Some Color to your Meals!
Do you have trouble remembering to eat your fruits and vegetables at every meal? Cooking with all colors of the rainbow will help you get a wide range of vitamins.
The richer the color, typically means a more nutrient-dense profile. For example, Elderberries are very dark in color and have one of the highest levels of antioxidants.
Prioritize Sleep
Getting adequate sleep helps to keep your immune system healthy.
Great sleep improves mood and energy throughout the day.
Focus in on Vitamin D
Foods that are good sources of vitamin D include egg yolks, mushrooms, salmon, canned tuna, and beef liver.
Get Moving and Stay Moving
Staying active by following a regular exercise routine — such as walking three times a week — does more than keep you fit and trim.
According to a study published in the journal Neurologic Clinicians, regular exercise also:
- keeps inflammation and chronic disease at bay
- reduces stress and the release of stress-related hormones
- accelerates the circulation of disease-fighting white blood cells
Eat Some Green Veggies
Green, leafy vegetables are rich in vitamins that help you maintain a balanced diet — and support a healthy immune system.
Stay Hydrated
Your body works hard to keep you moving and active, so make sure to give it the water it needs to remain in tip-top shape.
