As the weather gets chillier and winter flu and cold season continues, it’s important to take steps to prevent illness and to check in with you and your child’s health care providers. ❄️

To boost your winter wellness, prioritize sleep, take vitamin D supplements (with approval from your doctor), sip herbal teas to warm your body, use a humidifier to prevent nose bleeds and sore throats from dry winter air, and wash your hands regularly with warm soapy water. 🍵💤🧼

WIC also offers health care referrals and nutrition education to help your family stay healthy this season, learn more at www.signupwic.com!

If your toddler is asking for a snack… for the third time in the last hour... we see you. 😅
Simple snacks using foods you already have can help fill the gaps between meals without a lot of prep. A few easy snack ideas:

✔️ Apple slices with peanut butter
✔️ Yogurt with fruit
✔️ Tortilla cheese roll up

Bonus: These are all WIC-approved foods, making it a little easier to keep simple, filling options on hand when hunger strikes (again).

Did you know? 🤔Oats contain large amounts of beta-glucan, a type of soluble fiber! Beta-glucan partially dissolves in water and forms a thick, gel-like solution in your gut. 🥣 This helps move food further along through your digestive system and creates prebiotic effects! ✨

The health benefits of beta-glucan fiber found in foods like oatmeal include:
🌟reduced blood glucose and insulin response
🌟increased growth of good bacteria in the digestive tract
🌟regulation of type 2 diabetes

What are your favorite ways to make oatmeal for your family? 🫐🥛🍌
