Wheezal's Special Diet for Winters

Food is pretty powerful, and by tweaking our diets we can actually help to counter many of the negative impacts winter has on our body. Wheezal’s special diet suggests the type of diet that will help boost your immunity and help you stay healthy in the cold weather.

Winter might be full of the great joys of Christmas, but it also brings with it freezing cold weather, an increased likelihood of getting ill and, for some, the onset of Seasonal Affective Disorder.

But food is pretty powerful, and by tweaking our diets we can actually help to counter many of the negative impacts winter has on our body. Here are some of the things you should be loading up on this time of year:

Red peppers

Vitamin C is known to reduce tiredness while strengthening your immune system, which is vital during the colder months. “Citrus fruits are commonly hailed as the food that most effectively boost vitamin C and fight colds. However, scrumptious Bell peppers actually contain over three times the vitamin C of an orange and are far more effective,” explains nutritional expert and founder of Nosh Detox, Geeta Sidhu-Robb.

“Red peppers also contain phytochemicals and carotenoids (which gives it the pigment), particularly beta-carotene, which bestow you with antioxidant and antiinflammatory benefits.”
