I’d like to suggest eating the best foods during winter to stay healthy, warm, and energetic. Go for seasonal fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, like citrus fruits, leafy greens, and root vegetables — they boost immunity and help fight off cold-season illnesses.
Include whole grains (oats, millets, whole-grain cereals) and warm, nutritious meals such as soups, porridges or khichdi to keep your body warm and digestion smooth.
Nuts, dry fruits, and healthy fats—like almonds, walnuts, or seeds—are excellent for energy, immunity and overall wellness during cold months.
So my suggestion is: build a winter-friendly diet that combines immunity-boosting produce, warming whole grains and nourishing snacks — so you feel good, stay healthy, and enjoy the season.
