Prep Veggies and Fruit Once

• Slice, dice and otherwise prepare your veggies for a few days

• Store in refrigerator in air tight containers

• Makes it easier when the time comes AND easier to access those veggies as snacks

Fresh vs. Frozen Fruits & Vegetables

• Frozen contains as many nutrients

• Great as a start for smoothies

• When defrosting, keep water soluble vitamins in mind• Add frozen vegetables to soups

• Steam, without the water touching the vegetables

• Sauté in a stir fry

Stock-up Your Pantry

• Great protein sources• Beans

• Lentils

• Go with whole grains• Brown rice

• Whole wheat pastas

• Canned products• Reduced sodium/no sodium

• Rinse

Hydration

• Saliva serves as the mouth’s first-line immunological barrier, reducing susceptibility of the body to bacteria and viruses.

• We confuse hunger with thirst

• Water is best

• Unsweetened herbal teas

• Spa water

• Be conscious of caffeine

Gut Health

• Keep your gut happy and healthy

• 70% of your immune function arises from your gut

• Healthy gut comes from a good diet feeding healthy bacteria• Probiotics - yogurt, kimchi

• Fruits, vegetables and whole grains - prebiotic fibers for the gut bacteria

What about supplements?

• There is no definitive evidence that any supplements help with immunity

• Stick with a variety of whole foods

• Make sure any supplements you take have been tested by an outside laboratory

Eating and your environment

• Keep indulgent cues put away

• Make eating an event• Eliminate screens - eating while distracted

• Talk and connect with family and others

• 20 minutes for the body to register fullness
