(Family Features) La temporada de resfriados y gripe ya está aquí. La mejor manera de combatir la temporada de resfriados y gripe es evitar contraer cualquier enfermedad. Si bien es imposible mantenerse completamente a salvo de los gérmenes, los resfriados y la tos, existen algunos hábitos saludables que puede incorporar para protegerse este año.

Junto con la orientación que reciba de su proveedor de atención médica, considere estas recomendaciones dietéticas y de estilo de vida para apoyar su sistema inmunológico de forma natural.

Comprométete a seguir una dieta más saludable: Es esencial para optimizar su sistema inmunológico, los expertos recomiendan llevar una dieta saludable que consista en más alimentos como frutas, verduras, nueces, semillas, legumbres y cereales integrales. Estos alimentos contienen compuestos a base de plantas que están relacionados con beneficios para la salud del cuerpo. Como ejemplo, tenemos las uvas frescas.

Los compuestos naturales de la uva, incluidos los antioxidantes y otros polifenoles, pueden ayudar a proteger la salud y el funcionamiento de las células. En lo fundamental, las células saludables son la base de una buena salud.

Hacer cambios simples, como elegir uvas frescas de California en lugar de bocadillos procesados ​​o agregar uvas a sus recetas favoritas para darle un impulso saludable, son formas sabrosas de agregar estos compuestos beneficiosos.

Los estudios sugieren que algunos compuestos de la uva pueden influir positivamente en la función inmune, como el resveratrol y ciertos flavonoides. Otros estudios demuestran que agregar uvas que son saludables para el corazón a su dieta diaria puede ayudar a mantener la salud del cerebro, el colon y la piel. Las uvas también son una buena fuente de vitamina K, que puede ayudar a mantener la salud pulmonar. Incorpore a su dieta los beneficios de las uvas para la salud con una receta fácil y práctica como ensalada de col con uvas y coles de Bruselas, perfecta para comer sola o acompañar con su proteína favorita, como la pechuga de pollo asada.

Priorizar la higiene básica: Las prácticas preventivas pueden ayudarle a evitar los gérmenes, protegiéndose a sí mismo y a los demás al mismo tiempo. Lávese las manos frecuentemente con agua y jabón, limite el contacto con otras personas que puedan estar enfermas y cúbrase la nariz y la boca con un pañuelo desechable o con el codo al toser o estornudar.

Mantente activo: La temporada de resfriados y gripe coincide con temperaturas elevadas, lo que a menudo dificulta salir a hacer ejercicio. Encuentre una actividad que disfrute, como caminar de intensidad moderada, trotar, andar en bicicleta o practicar un deporte aeróbico. El “Journal of Sport and Health Science” informa que el ejercicio puede ayudar a mejorar la respuesta inmune y reducir la inflamación, lo que lo convierte en una forma clave de preparar el cuerpo para defenderse.

Hidratar, hidratar, hidratar: Mantenerse hidratado ayuda a su sistema inmunológico al mantener las defensas del cuerpo funcionando correctamente. Además de beber agua, puedes aumentar la hidratación comiendo alimentos con alto contenido de agua como las uvas, que contienen aproximadamente un 82% de agua.

Manejar el estrés: Puedes ayudar a controlar el estrés, que tiene un impacto negativo en la salud y el bienestar general, de varias maneras. Practique respiración profunda o meditación, participe en actividades y pasatiempos que le brinden alegría y desarrolle hábitos nocturnos que promuevan un buen sueño. Si come un bocadillo por la noche, elija alimentos como las uvas, que son una fuente natural de melatonina, un compuesto que ayuda a regular los ciclos del sueño. Hable con alguien en quien confíe, como un amigo, un familiar o un profesional de salud mental, para ayudar a aliviar el estrés.

Easy Charcuterie Board Ideas: Elegant Wine Pairings for Effortless Holiday Hosting

Easy, Elegant Charcuterie Boards for Effortless Holiday Hosting

(Family Features) When holiday occasions call for you to don your hosting cap, skip complicated appetizers and hors d’oeuvres to instead serve sustainable charcuterie with sommelier-approved wine pairings. After all, simplicity can still equal premium flavor with the right meats, cheeses and libations. It doesn’t take a hosting expert or pairing professional to create a spread that’s as memorable as it is delicious. Charcuterie boards made with just a few ingredients can start the festivities on a high note by wowing loved ones with your pairing prowess. Amaze your guests (and even yourself) by starting with heritage breed pork in small-batch artisanal production from Niman Ranch, whose independent family farmers and ranchers raise all animals with no antibiotics or added hormones ever. Their commitment to humane practices and sustainability leads to the exceptional flavor and tenderness your crowd craves and can taste in every bite. Match the selection of meats – like prosciutto, genoa salame or capocollo in these recipes – with complementary cheeses and accents such as crostini, olives or even thyme-infused honey for an extra special touch. Finally, find the perfect bottle of wine for each board to round out a palate-pleasing spread that suits each guest’s preferred pairing profile. With flavor, sustainability and a personal touch, charcuterie can bring holiday occasions to life for you and your loved ones.

Prosciutto, Sottocenere and Aligote

On a cheese board or platter, arrange buttery, silky prosciutto with Sottocenere, a firm cheese speckled with black truffle, or any firm cheese striped with dill or paprika or washed in ale. To round out these savory flavors, pair with Aligote, a white burgundy from France that’s citrusy but refined with hints of green apple and honeydew.   17747 detail embed2

Genoa Salame, Vintage Grand Ewe and Syrah

On a cheese board or platter, arrange genoa salame, featuring the rich flavors pulled from the spices and wine used in its making. Pair with an aged, firm sheep’s cheese such as Vintage Grand Ewe, with notes of toasted almond, maple syrup and cultured butter. The sweetness of the cheese gives way to the genoa salame to be the star. Finish the board with skewered olives and serve with an unfussy red wine low in tannins like Syrah.   17747 detail embed3

Capocollo, Aged Cheddar, Thyme Honey and Txakoli

Start your cheese board or platter with savory capocollo laced with pockets of cured fat that balance out the meat. Its mild smokiness works well with an aged sharp cheddar for a salty, intriguing but complementary match. Serve with a side of thyme-infused honey for herbaceous sweetness. Pair with Txakoli, a dry Spanish wine that’s easy to drink with hints of salt and pinesap. collect?v=1&tid=UA 482330 7&cid=1955551e 1975 5e52 0cdb 8516071094cd&sc=start&t=pageview&dl=http%3A%2F%2Ftrack.familyfeatures SOURCE: Niman Ranch
