| While food is not medicine, it can play a role in helping your immune system function optimally. At the very core, your immune system needs adequate energy and nutrients to respond to potential pathogens. During cold and flu season, you can focus on getting a balanced mix of protein and vitamins that help build up the body’s defenses. Specific vitamins to include in your diet are Vitamins A, C and E. Vitamin A helps nourish your skin, which acts as your body’s first line of resistance. Sources of Vitamin A include fish, cheese and eggs. Vitamin C helps your body form antigens and can be found in products that are typically acidic, such as citrus and tomatoes. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant, which helps to slow potential body damage. Vitamin E can be found in various nuts and seeds. |

| Move over New Year’s dieting and make room for a new health concept called the anti-diet approach to health. While nearly one-third of Americans regularly diet, newly highlighted research indicates there are pitfalls to traditional dieting. Dieting drawbacks include weight fluctuations and psychological stress. Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defined diet as “food and drink regularly consumed.” Anti-diet approaches aim to simplify nutrition by focusing on the concept of a person’s eating pattern over time, highlighting the importance of all macro nutrient groups. Including fruits, vegetables, grains, protein and dairy daily are recommendations from the USDA and amounts needed for individuals can be found on their website. Using those recommendations is a good starting point from which to build habits, and anti-dieting approaches note that not every day will be perfect as far as food is concerned. |
