wash your produce – produce in the U.S. has a lot of pesticides and even organic fruits and vegetables get some exposure. wash your produce well before consuming. you can wash your produce with Apple Cider Vinegar, sea salt or baking soda.

cook at home – when you first start cooking more at home, keep it simple just to get into the rhythm of cooking more, so it becomes second nature. make your dinner plan for the week on the weekend. this helps to set you up for success and takes out so much of the guesswork during the week.

share your food and preparations with the people closest to you -social connection and community is just as important to our health. 

add pumpkin seeds to your yogurt/ smoothies: they’re packed with nutrients that support heart health, boost immunity, improve sleep and promote healthy digestion. a handful of these seeds can enhance energy and help maintain overall wellness.
