How to Eat Healthier In The Spring

Some of the things that you can do to eat healthier in the spring are:

•  Feast On Fresh Greens
     It’s salad season! Stock up on fresh leafy greens like kale, different varieties of lettuce, spinach, and more. There are endless ways to combine leafy greens to make delicious salads that you will never get sick of. You can even learn how to grow you own so that you always have fresh greens available.
•  Eat Your Veggies- For Breakfast

                     If you need to get more veggies in your diet, adding some to your breakfast is a great way to do it. Have some eggs with fresh spinach and a little cheese. Or try adding some peppers and onions to your eggs for a spicy start to the morning.                             Fresh salsa is delicious on scrambled eggs too. Put some scrambled eggs, salsa, and fresh avocado slices in a tortilla and you have a healthy and delicious breakfast on the go.

•  Enjoy The Berry Bonanza
     One of the most delicious things about spring is fresh berries. Fresh raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries are packed full of immune boosting antioxidants and vitamins as well as that fantastic bright berry taste. Enjoy fresh berries with cottage cheese for a sweet but healthy protein-packed snack.

How Nutrition Affects Your Immune System and Overall Health

Have you ever heard the saying, “you are what you eat”? It’s true! If you eat fresh healthy foods you will be much healthier. That’s because the vitamins and minerals in fresh food give your immune system a big boost. That extra boost helps your immune system fight off things like seasonal allergies, colds, and illnesses. When your immune system is operating at full strength you will feel great and stay healthy all throughout the spring and summer.
