  • With all of the info about what to eat during this COVID-19 quarantine it can get confusing, right? Stress can cause you to want sugary, highly processed foods. Take it one day at a time. Keep a running shopping list. Be sure to add fish (if you eat it) and/or seeds like flax, chia and hemp seeds to your weekly meal planning agenda. . . . The omega-3 fats in seafood like salmon, tuna and halibut can do wonders for your brain health, as well as boost your mood (who doesn’t need that these days?) and support your immune system, too. ✨ I keep it simple and get canned tuna and salmon and buy seeds in bulk and store them in the fridge. . . . In the latest issue of @chihealthmag I write about the brain boosting power of omega-3 fats. They are key players in your total body health.(get the full article link is in my profile >>) . . . #staywell #coronavirus #covidtips #coronatips #nourishingnotes #stayhomesavelives #nutritionist #eatrightpro #onedayatime #goed #totalbodyhealth #omega3fats #healthyfats #vsrnutrition #chicagohealth
