Apples: We have all heard the old saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", but why? Apples are anti-inflammatory, and have lots of antioxidants which help build your body's immunity AND fight off infections that are common this time of year.
Pumpkin: Rich in beta-carotene, and vitamin C, and you guessed it.... antioxidants! Pumpkins are good for a lot more then carving spooky faces, and don't forget the seeds... such a great snack when roasted and a great source of zinc!
Kale: This dark leafy green keeps on growing right into the fall, and this leafy green is great for boosting immunity, clearing out congestion, and curbing cravings.
Cabbage: Another great anti-inflammatory vegetable with lots of antioxidants that has cholesterol lowering, and cancer prevention benefits.
Squash: With so many varieties you are bound to find a few that you love... butternut, acorn, spaghetti... are just a few! The varieties and ways to use them are almost as endless as the health benefits. They are a great source of vitamins A & C, beta-carotene, fiber!
