As the temperature drops and days grow shorter, our bodies naturally crave warmth and comfort. Winter is the perfect time to embrace nutrition that not only keeps us cozy but also boosts our immunity and energy levels. Boosting your immune system all year long is incredibly important but we all know these next few months are what we all brace for.
"You are what you eat." You might have heard this phrase at some time in your life. It comes from a French phrase from 1826, "Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu es." [Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are]. Slightly different, but you get the point. "You are what you eat" originated with an idea in Europe in 1800 that "the food one eats a bearing on one's state of mind and health." Well, people in 1800 were correct. There is more and more evidence that food can have an impact on your mental health.
