Eating your vitamins and minerals
The best way to get a good amount of vitamins into your body is to eat fresh food. At this time of year it is so tempting to reach for high fat and sugar processed foods to feel full and comforted, but with a high prevalence of virus' flying around we need to arm ourselves against poor health. I make a massive bowl of fruit salad at the start of the week and by Wednesday need to re do because the family have snacked on it and taken tubs to school and work. Roast veggies with lashings of olive oil and garlic with whatever herbs take your fancy to present a bright and appealing accompaniment to meats or rice. it can be a bit of a drag to cook from fresh, but unless you have someone on the autistic spectrum at home (like us!!) trying dishes is fun.
Our youngest is the only family member using packaged vitamins and that's because of his eating issues due to having Aspergers syndrome. We have never 'pandered' to his needs and keep trying different foods with him, but when he refuses to eat a main meal for three or four days and I refuse to give him biscuits etc we rely on him getting the minimum from his supplements, until I serve a meal he will eat.
When I go into an office I love to support the company in providing basic advice on eating well to live happier healthier lives.
