When your mother told you to eat your fruits and vegetables to stay healthy she was right, even if you didn’t listen to her. This is especially important in the cold winter season. Research shows that eating enough fruit and vegetables may limit your chance of getting a cold or flu.
Key Takeaways:
- It can be tough to avoid getting the sniffles or contracting the full-fledged flu in the winter, which can especially be a drag during the holiday season.
- Rather than taking supplements to stay healthy, many doctors recommend getting your nutrients and vitamins by eating healthy.
- Another vitamin doctors recommend plenty of in the winter is vitamin D, an immune regulator we usually get from sunlight exposure to the skin.
