🍊🥕🥬 Immune-Friendly Foods for Late Autumn
As the evenings draw in and the temperatures dip, many of us start thinking about keeping well through the colder months. One simple way older adults and their families can support wellbeing is by enjoying seasonal foods that are rich in natural goodness.
Here are some ideas to add colour and comfort to meals this Movember:
Citrus fruits (like oranges, satsumas, and grapefruits) bring a fresh source of vitamin C, which helps the body stay resilient.
Root vegetables (such as carrots, parsnips, and swede) are perfect for hearty soups and roasts, offering warmth and energy.
Dark leafy greens (like kale, spinach, and cabbage) are packed with nutrients and taste wonderful in stews or gently steamed as a side.
Cooking with the seasons not only makes meals tastier, but it also brings a sense of rhythm and comfort at this time of year. Sharing these dishes with loved ones, whether it’s a Sunday roast or a simple soup, can turn an everyday meal into a moment of connection.
🍲 What’s your favourite meal to share in the colder months?
