Seasonal foods are the most reliable source of energy and nutrition for everyone. Just like we change our wardrobe selections as per the seasons, so should our diet!

As the temperature drops with the changing seasons, we need to nourish and warm the body from the inside, to balance things out. These colder months are all about eating the grounding and nourishing foods that are going to balance out hormones and strengthen the immune system and boost the energy.

Breakfast:

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Including seasonal foods helps one start the day with the right nutrition. Begin with a warming porridge made with pre-soaked oats, milk or plant-based milk, grated apple, ginger and cinnamon. Add some nuts and seeds of your choice to make your breakfast vitamin rich. 

Lunch:

Make a macro bowl for your lunch meal. To make it nutritious include some sort of grain with root vegetables, legumes and a side of green vegetables.

Dinner:

Dinner could be a combination of a few items to end the day with immunity boosting seasonal foods. Prepare a warm soup with vegetables and legumes or grains or steam. From vegetables, fruits, fish and seafood, create a balanced diet as per your preference. Include proteins, fibers and vitamin rich foods in your diet. 

Seasonal foods entail selecting fruits and vegetables at their peak for flavor or harvest at a specific time of year. There are many vegetables and fruits that are available all around the year these days when in fact they are seasonal foods and only benefit when consumed in their growing seasons. Fresh, local fruits and vegetables are a much healthier option; buying in season reduces environmental damage, supports local farmers and producers, and is more cost-effective as well.
