Protein comes in many shapes and sizes – and it doesn’t have to come in a burger! We need protein to build muscles, keep us satisfied after a meal and build antibodies for our immune system. One great way to add more protein to your diet is to fill up on plant-based options. For example, a 1/2 cup of black beans contain 8 grams of protein – and a lot of fiber! Click the link below to learn about more plant-based protein options. |

Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |

This might seem counterintuitive since whenever the sniffles start, most of us reach for vitamin C. But there’s no evidence that it can actually help to boost your immunity. This belief stems from an outdated study. Instead of gobbling up some vitamin C tablets, focus on getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet and exercising. People who follow these healthy habits experience more robust immune systems. |
