 | Nutrition Tips for Boosting Immunity
By Brown & Medina Nutrition
| 
No one likes to be sick, but with winter upon us we are entering prime time for colds, the flu, and other respiratory illnesses. Fueling your body with nourishing and healthy foods has long been understood to help prevent disease and increase overall health.
Here are some tips to help you keep your immune system strong this winter:
- Stay hydrated! The dry winter air and our heated homes can make dehydration possible in the Winter . Getting adequate water is crucial because it keeps our body's tissues moist, removes toxins and wastes from the body, and transports nutrients and oxygen to cells.
- Eat foods high in Vitamin A: A deficiency in Vitamin A is associated with impaired immunity and risk for infectious disease. Foods high in Vitamin A include: Sweet potatoes, spinach, carrots, red peppers and mangoes.
To see the rest of these tips, check out our blog.

| Stuck Indoors? Let the Games Begin!
By Bonita Porte
|  On these long days that you feel stuck in the house with your children, why not turn this forced hibernation into family fun activity time. Enjoy healthy, energetic playtime with lots of laughing, smiles and giggles...and these sounds will not only be coming from your children!
Here are some ideas to get you started. Your children don't even have to know that the adventure you are about to go on with them is not only lots of fun, but it is healthy active play. - Clap Ball
- The child tosses a beach ball up in the air and claps once before it is caught. See if they can do this as many as 20 times. Once they get really good at this and to continue to improve eye/hand coordination, try it with two or even three claps before the ball is caught.
For the rest of the games, check out our blog. |
