Winter is coming soon. This year, we may face the seasonal flu and COVID-19, and the reality is that we must take responsibility for our health on these times.

Vitamins C and D play a major role in our immune response and health. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that prompts immune response, and vitamin D is essential for immune function. In order for the body to be primed to fight infection, we need vitamins C and D to be present. Synthesis of vitamin C requires vitamin D, so both are important. In addition to these important vitamins, eating citrus fruit provides fiber in the diet, which supports heart health.

Dr. Fauci has endorsed the use of vitamins C and D, and personally takes both to supplement his health and nutrient intake. He has mentioned ther

What to eat?

Broccoli, milk, lemons, oranges and kiwi fruit. Take supplements prescribed by a licensed healthcare professional. Focus on regular consumption of fruits and vegetables, and avoid overconsumption of sugar.

Stay healthy this Winter. Eat well and prosper.
