Dark leafy vegetables

These dark leafy vegetables may be the only ones looking attractive in the produce section during winter, when all else looks bleak and unappetizing. Kale, chard and collards are vegetables that thrive in the winter chill so you wouldn’t find them withering in the cold. You can dish up a thick vegetable soup with these, enough to warm your stomach and channel a dose of vitamin A, C and K into your body, keeping you healthy all throughout winter.

Citrus Fruits

There are some people who get sick rather easily due to the cold weather. How much more during winter? Citrus fruits are often the best remedy for colds because they are rich of vitamin C that boosts your immunity. Do not worry about these fruits not surviving the winter chill because these too, like the dark leafy vegetables, thrives in the cold. In fact, they are on its juiciest during winter. So why don’t you get yourself a few lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit for a healthy snack food.

Oatmeal

Avoiding the winter blues keeps your appetite up, which means you’ll still eat as heartily now as you have during summer. Sunlight as we all know produces the feel-good hormone serotonin which puts people in a cheery mood. So to avoid the winter blues, whole grain carbs like oatmeal is your saving grace. According to research eating lots of carbs boosts your serotonin level and so keeps you away from being in low mood during the winter season.

Walnuts

Winter brings drier air which means dry skin for you. This leaves you feeling dull, tight and itchy. Eating walnuts as a snack food or a mix to your meal will help combat dry skin from inside because of its omega-3 fatty acid. This omega-3 fatty acid is responsible for maintaining your cell membranes intact and healthy.

Chicken Soup
