Vitamins and Nutrients

A strong immune system is one of your best defenses against infections from bacteria and viruses. A healthy immune system also helps protect against other health problems such as arthritis and certain types of cancer. Eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods to give your body the nutrition it needs every day to help protect against illness and reduce your risk of chronic disease.

By choosing nutrient-rich foods that provide the most nutrients per calorie, you can build a healthier life and start down a path of health and wellness. Small steps can help you create healthy habits that will benefit your health now and for the rest of your life:

  • Start each day with a healthy breakfast that includes whole grains and calcium-, vitamin D- and vitamin C-rich foods.
  • Replace refined grains with whole grains like whole-grain breads and cereals and brown rice.
  • Pre-washed salad greens and pre-cut vegetables make great quick meals or snacks.
  • Choose fresh, whole fruit for snacks and desserts.
  • Don’t forget beans, which are rich in fiber, folate and flavanoids.
