Are you social distancing or staying home due to the coronavirus (like we are at Diet Doctor)? We've put together our best tips and tricks for using this time to stay healthy, with delicious foods made with items that you may already have on hand or can easily find. Please enjoy and take care.
As the disease caused by the coronavirus, COVID-19, has a higher mortality rate among people who are older, have diabetes, high blood pressure, or cardiovascular disease, it's important that you remain as healthy as possible during this time. If you're working from home, it's best to use what you already have on hand rather than venturing out to the stores.
Not every meal needs to be gourmet, but every meal can be nourishing. Here are our best ideas for eating tasty and healthy foods made with items that you can easily find or that you may already have in your kitchen.
The freezer is your friend
The nutrients in frozen foods are largely unaffected when frozen, providing as much nutrition as fresh foods. In addition to freezing uncooked foods, the freezer is the perfect place to store fully cooked meals for future use.
Whether you have enough leftovers to freeze or you intentionally cook batch meals, having a ready-made meal waiting in the freezer is a gift that your future self will enjoy.
