Kick ass in January!
As you know one of my core pillars of good health and wellbeing is nutrition. January is a great time to focus on healthy eating habits after indulging in holiday treats. Here are some foods that are in season and can be beneficial for your health:
Winter vegetables: Root vegetables like carrots, turnips, parsnips, and winter squashes like pumpkin and butternut squash are all in season during January. They are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals that can help boost your immune system, improve digestion and lower inflammation.
Citrus fruits: Oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and limes are in season during January. They are rich in vitamin C which is essential for a healthy immune system and can help prevent colds and flu.
Dark leafy greens: Leafy greens like kale, spinach, and collard greens are in season during January. They are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can help support overall health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Whole grains: Whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and oats are great sources of fiber, vitamins, and minerals that can help improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and support heart health.
Nuts and seeds: Nuts like almonds, walnuts, and pistachios, and seeds like chia and flax seeds, are all in season during January. They are rich in healthy fats, protein, and fiber that can help keep you feeling full and satisfied while also providing essential nutrients.
Incorporating these foods into your diet can help support your health and wellbeing during the month of January and beyond. Remember to always aim for a balanced and varied diet that includes a variety of whole, nutrient-dense foods
