Vaccinate Yourself

Eat Healthy Foods.

To stay healthy this winter, it’s essential to eat healthy foods. Eat fruits and vegetables. Avoid processed foods like chips and cookies. Instead, choose whole-grain bread, cereals and pasta. Also, try to eat lean protein sources such as chicken breast or fish instead of red meat (unless you’re pregnant).

If you have diabetes or heart disease, avoid sugary drinks such as soda pop or juice; limit your intake of sugar-sweetened beverages like these; drink water instead; don’t skip meals because they provide energy for physical activity; eat regular meals with small portions at standard times each day so your body doesn’t have time between meals when it needs power from other sources such as fat stores in the body (which can lead directly into weight gain).

Avoid overeating fat by limiting saturated fats – usually found in animal products like meat products like beef burgers. Instead, opt for whole grain bread made with whole wheat flour, which is lower in total carbohydrates than white flour varieties but higher in fiber. This helps keep blood sugar levels stable throughout the day without spikes after eating certain foods containing high amounts/levels of carbohydrates.”
