Vegetables: natural remedies for the cold and flu season

The short days and cold mornings make it hard to get out of bed and exercise or even find the motivation to eat well. When it comes to protecting yourself from the common cold or flu, eating nutrient-rich food is of crucial importance. Giving your body the right vitamins and minerals to help fend off illness, can usually reduce the severity of your symptoms and help you to get better sooner.

Practice what you preach, I combined 6 vegetables and sprouts and called it Lunch.

• Organic spinach
• 2 types of sprouts
• Cucumber
• Cherry tomatoes
• Home cooked red beets

To add even more nutrients to my lunch I added nutritional yeast (B vitamins), hemp seeds (essential fatty acids) and some good olive & walnut oil.

Here's to a flu free season! Cheers!
