Celebrate National Meal Prep Day!
National Meal Prep Day emphasizes not just the time and money saved by prepping ahead but also the positive impact on one’s diet quality.

Studies have linked meal prepping to improved nutrition and a reduced likelihood of obesity. It also encourages people to cut down on fast food, promoting healthier, home-cooked options instead. This approach to eating helps many manage their weight and enhance their overall health by controlling what goes into their food.

Besides health and budget benefits, meal prepping has a broader significance. It aligns with efforts towards sustainable living by reducing food waste and promoting the use of reusable containers. Setting aside a half-day to focus on meal preparation can make a substantial difference in maintaining a balanced diet and minimizing stress about daily meals.

What are mitochondria?
Mitochondria are tiny little organelles found in your cells. Their primary function is to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which captures chemical energy from food and uses that energy to fuel other cellular processes. If the mitochondria become damaged after a virus or from toxic insult, then a lack of cellular energy and fatigue is the result.

Vitamin D for Immune Health
Most essential vitamins and minerals that you require for good health come from the
food and drinks you consume; Vitamin D does things a little differently.
Vitamin D is produced in your skin in response to exposure to sunlight. That’s why it’s
sometimes called the “sunshine vitamin”!
Vitamin D is helpful over the winter period to boost immunity and is widely studied and recognised for supporting immune health.
