Eating smart and healthy is important during a pandemic and the winter months, just as it is every day of the year. By filling your plate with bright colored fruit and vegetables, complex carbohydrates and smart protein sources, you ensure your body is getting the vitamins and minerals it needs to boost your immune system, keep your energy up, and help maintain mental clarity. Your food is the fuel that powers your body, and when it comes from good sources, your body works better!
