One of the best things we can do for our health and well-being is to eat for the season. What that means is that you change a little of what and how you eat depending on what season it is. This does not have to be complicated! Once way to get started is to choose fruits and vegetables that are in season. Right now, in the winter months, try some root veggies like parsnips, yams, sweet potatoes, and squash. Another great tip is the liberal use of spices. In the colder months, lean toward warming spices like cardamom, clove, cinnamon, and ginger. Also since this is the time of cold and dry air, healthy homemade stews and casseroles are great to warm you up and keep you from drying up. And tea is always a good thing, especially green tea. Of course as I write this, it is 65 degrees outside! I guess Spring is just around the corner!
