Beets are more than a vibrantly colored winter vegetable. They're a nutrient powerhouse! Beets are a great source of folate for a healthy pregnancy, fiber for good digestion, and iron to help fight tiredness. They even help support a healthy heart and blood pressure. 🫀

Enjoy them roasted until sweet and tender, blended into a smoothie, or chopped fresh onto a salad. Remember, you can use your WIC benefits for fresh or canned beets! 🥫

If you’re looking for a comforting and warm recipe, here’s one that highlights root vegetables like beets: https://choosehomemade.org/recipes/root-veggie-stew-with-dumplings/

You can find Vitamin K in many vegetables, like spinach, kale, broccoli, and cauliflower! 🥦 Need a tasty way to use these winter veggies? Try this simple Basic Quiche recipe that’s perfect for loading up with vegetables: https://www.myplate.gov/recipes/basic-quiche.

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!

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? 🫐🥛🍌
