Hunger for Health Initiatives

December Nutrition Tips Seasonal produce choices: Lean into winter fruits and vegetables like citrus, pomegranates, winter squash, sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts for peak flavor and nutrients. Hydration in cold weather: We often forget to drink enough water in winter; warm herbal teas and broths help keep fluids up. Balanced holiday eating: Enjoy festive treats, but anchor your day with protein, fiber, and healthy fats to stay energized. Immune‑supporting foods: Add garlic, ginger, yogurt, leafy greens, and citrus to support your immune system during cold and flu season. Smart party planning: Eat a balanced snack before gatherings so you're not overly hungry when you arrive. Nourishing winter soups: Broth‑based soups with vegetables, beans, or lentils are warming, filling, and nutrient‑dense. Mindful holiday beverages: Seasonal drinks like hot cocoa and flavored lattes can be high in sugar-enjoy them intentionally. Movement for digestion: Short walks or stretching sessions help with digestion and energy during busy holiday weeks.
