PEPPERS
When it comes to peppers red, yellow and,
green bell peppers take centre stage.
However, red pepper(tatashe), Cayenne
pepper(shombo), and other hot peppers,
aside from being colourful, are full of beta
carotene and antioxidants, that support your
immune system. They increase your body
temperature and triggering the immune
system into fighting cold and flu viruses.

1YOGHURT
Yoghurt is rich in Vitamin D,
which is suitable for building the
immune system. Most people
prefer greek yoghurt because it
is low calorie and good for your
bones, skin, blood, hair, etc. The
downside to Greek yoghurt is
that it doesn’t contain sugar, so
feel free to sweeten with honey
and fruits. Those watching their
weight consume either Greek or
regular yoghurt in good portions
with nuts and fruits; this will help
with weight loss and muscle
building and act as a natural
defence against diseases.

Words by - Patty Munor
Staying healthy is a part of everyday practice. Whether done
consciously or unconsciously everything we eat and our lifestyle
choices are heavily reflected in how healthy we turn out. For some
people, the choice cultivates a healthy habit based on underlying
conditions or sudden illness; for others, it’s a natural way of life.
In this era that has become our new norm, we are obligated to do
right by ourselves to extend our lives and protect ourselves and others
by imbibing healthier options into our lifestyle choices.
