It\u2019s cold, you\u2019re hungry &#8211; that pepperoni pizza or a pint of chocolate chip ice cream is looking tasty. And no one has to see you in a bathing suit until June, right? Well, you\u2019re not a bear, so try something different &#8211; winter food ideas that taste good and give you the energy you need to slog through a cold season.<\/p>\n<p>For 2018 we bring you some quick, high-energy, healthy food tips for ultimate winter wellness &#8211; from health-focused massage therapists on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeel.com\/\">Zeel network<\/a>, since they\u2019re always on the go. Here\u2019s what they suggest.<\/p>\n<h2>Lemon water<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cI always start the day with a large mug of warm lemon water. It flushes the digestive system and rehydrates. Really kickstarts the day.\u201d \u00a0(Read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthambition.com\/health-benefits-lemons\">lemon water<\/a> and its health benefits.)<\/p>\n<h2>A twist on toast<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cMorning protein: whole wheat toast topped with almond butter and shredded coconut.\u201d \u00a0(Gluten-free? \u00a0Just choose one of these toast-friendly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saveur.com\/article\/Kitchen\/Guide-To-The-Best-Gluten-Free-Sandwich-Bread\">gluten-free breads<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<h2>The classic tuna<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cMy on-the-go food is seriously a can of shredded tuna. That can keep me going through a whole day.\u201d \u00a0(Need more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/christinebyrne\/delicious-ways-to-eat-canned-tuna?utm_term=.dcnDZaZxq0#.opb9JPJYEp\">creative tuna dishes<\/a>? Try these meals based around a humble can of tuna.)<\/p>\n<h2>Protein and potassium pick-me-up<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThe best emergency meal: hard-boiled eggs and sweet potatoes. LOTS of potassium.\u201d \u00a0(Plus, sweet potatoes are packed with vitamins A and C &#8211; harder to get in the winter.)<\/p>\n<h2>Leeks, spinach, and chicken<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cI steam leeks and spinach, because they are packed with iron and vitamins. I cook organic chicken in coconut oil for good fats, protein, and vitamin B.\u201d \u00a0(Here\u2019s one great recipe that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/1151569\/broiled-skillet-chicken-leeks-potatoes-and-spinach\"> combines spinach, chicken, and leeks<\/a> &#8211; substitute the oil of your choice.)<\/p>\n<h2>Ginger-turmeric tea<\/h2>\n<p>This is a treat that\u2019s especially good for winter, say massage therapists. Even better, it\u2019s super-easy to make. Just <a href=\"http:\/\/nanasbestrecipes.com\/lemon-ginger-turmeric-tea\/\">boil water, ginger root, lemon juice, and turmeric<\/a>. Serve with raw honey if you want it sweet. Warming and great for the stomach.\u201d Turmeric is also great for controlling inflammation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some quick, high-energy, healthy winter food tips &#8211; from massage therapists.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":17013,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1305],"tags":[1154,1322,1320],"thb-sponsors":[],"class_list":["post-17010","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lifestyle","tag-tips-from-therapists","tag-winter-food","tag-winter-wellness"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.7 -
