Nutrition-Bonus:  
With cold and flu season now in full swing, it is even that much more important to do what we can to strengthen our immune system. Greens like spinach and kale pack a powerful punch of beta carotene and vitamin C while healthy fat sources such as nuts and seeds add vitamin E for enhanced immune support.
