Nutritionist Sally Wisbey, on behalf of Spatone, says our diet is crucial to boosting our immune systems and helping fight off the bugs. But, she says, staying positive, exercising and getting a good night’s sleep are also important. So what are the best foods to eat this Winter?
“Take some time out to assess your lifestyle habits. Overworking and a lack of rest, exercise and sleep all tend to deplete our energy and our strength.
