COLD SEASON IS HERE. IT DOESN'T
FEEL LIKE THAT OUTSIDE. BUT A
LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE COUGH THE
SNEEZES AND RUNNY NOSES. SO YOU
CAN ACTUALLY EAT THE RIGHT FOOD.
WELCOME TODAY. NUTRITIONIST
MINDY BLACK IS HERE TO TALK
ABOUT THE FOODS. LET'S START
OUT. TALK IN THE DETAIL ABOUT
YOUR BACKGROUND.
SURE. I'M MINDY BLACK. I'M
A REGISTERED DIETICIAN. BEEN IN
THE JACKSONVILLE AREA PR 15
YEARS NOW -- FOR 15 YEARS NOW
AND WORKING WITH ATHLETES.
SO PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES.
SO YOU WORK WITH MANY TEAMS.
YEAH. AS WELL AS THE
JAGUARS.
SO YOU CAN DEFINITELY WORK
WITH SOMETHING LIKE
ME -- SOMEONE LIKE ME.
ABSOLUTELY.
SO WE HAVE DIFFERENT FOODS
HERE. ALL OF THESE CAN HELP,
RIGHT?
ABSOLUTELY.
SO WALK ME THROUGH AND --
YEAH. IT'S CALLED THE FLU
SEASON. GENERALLY WHEN WE START
GETTING THE SNIFFLES WE'LL LOAD
UP ON VITAMIN C OR ORANGE JUICE.
SO WE REALLY WANT TO CONGSEN
TRAIT ON -- CONCENTRATE ON THOSE
KINDS OF FOODS IN COLD AND FLU
SEASON. SO THE FIRST THING WE
NEED IS OUR ABC. VITAMIN A,
VITAMIN D, AND VITAMIN C.
VOOITMAN A IS MOSTLY IN ORANGE
VEGETABLES. SO BUTTER NUT
SQUASH, SWEET POTATOES, AND
THINGS LIKE THAT. THIS IS OUR
FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE FOR SKIN.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE THAT AS
STRONG AS POSSIBLE.
SO WHAT ABOUT PORTIONS FOR
THIS? I SEE A LOT HERE. .
BASICALLY IF WE
WANT -- THESE ARE BABY SWEET
POTATOES. WE WANT TO HAVE A
NORMAL SIZE SWEET POTATO.
THAT'S NOT BAD.
YEAH. YOU CAN JUICE IT IF
YOU REALLY HATE IT ALL.
I LIKE THAT.
AND OUR B VITAMINS
ACTUALLY -- AS LONG AS YOU'RE
EATING POLEISTRY OR
BEAN -- POULTRY OR BEANS OR NUTS
YOU'LL GET THE B VITAMINS IN
PRETTY EASY. AND OUR C VITAMINS
WILL BE -- WE THINK ABOUT ORANGE
JUICE. ORANGE JUICE IS LOADED
IN SUGAR.
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. SUGAR.
YEAH. SO LOAD UP ON THE
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. ORANGES
WORK. SO DO STRAWBERRIES. AND
THEN OUR -- VEGETABLES. SO
BRUSSEL SPROUTS, KALE, BALK
CHOI, BROCCOLI AND THINGS LIKE
THAT.
AND SERVING SIZE FOR THIS?
ONE ORANGE IS A SERVING. OR
IF YOU'RE DOING A
VEGETABLE -- IF YOU DID JUST ONE
LITTLE LEAFLET OF THIS. ABOUT
TWO OF THOSE WOULD BE A SERVING.
WE DON'T HAVE TO LOAD UP ON
THAT.
GOTCHA.
SO ONE THING WITH THE ABC,
WE WANT TO GO TO OUR ANTIVIRALS.
GARLIC AND ONIONS AND GINGER AND
HONEY. SO ANTIVIRAL AND FIGHTS
OFF DISEASES AS WELL. SO
PROBIOTICS, YOU'RE ACTUALLY
DOING THAT. IF YOU HATE YOGURT
YOU CAN GET IT IN THIS FORM AS
WELL. OR IN A TEA. THIS CAN BE
GREAT SUBSTITUTE FOR SODAS.
BECAUSE SOME ARE CARBONATED.
I LIKE THAT. WE STARTED
WITH WAYS TO HELP OUT THE SKIN.
AND ALL THE WAY TO (INAUDIBLE).
ABSOLUTELY.
