Know the difference between locally grown and organic produce.

Enhance your health and beauty by eating organic, farm-fresh fruits, and veggies. Don't be fooled by the "eat locally grown" movement. It does not matter how fresh produce is if it is sprayed with pesticides. Pesticides can cause cancer as well as a host of health and beauty issues.

Take charge of your immune system and health.

2020 has shown us how important it is for us to care for our bodies and strengthen our immune systems. A diet rich in antioxidants and nutrients, moderate exercise, and high-quality sleep will fortify your immune system for the Fall and Winter seasons ahead.

When planning a meal, make sure it is as colorful as possible. Vegetables come in all colors. The larger the variety, the healthier it is. Colorful veggies contain high levels of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, and vitamins and minerals that help to prevent many serious diseases and, of course, contribute to healthy skin. They are also typically low in calories and very filling, so they're excellent for the waistline as well!

You should always choose foods that are rich in vitamins and nutrients, but especially as we are nearing winter. Include plenty of Vitamin C in your diet to bolster your immune system, prevent cancer and other diseases, and attain beautiful skin.
