Winter eating tips for good health

A change in season often means a change in diet and routine, like seeking the warmth of the couch and eating more! With these easy tips you can eat for comfort yet still maintain your health.

Warmth factor: use spices with warming properties such as ginger, chilli and paprika.

Batch cook: prepare batches of soup or casserole for convenient freezer-friendly meals.
