Different nutrients are essential to the body to perform different functions (which will be covered in the next blog). Hence, it is important that we eat a varied, nutrient dense diet full of whole foods.
A few nutrients that are needed include;
Iron, which is found in liver and red meat.
Calcium, which is found in dairy products (such as milk, yogurt, and cheese) and spinach.
Vitamin A, which is found in kale and pumpkin.
Potassium, which is found in bananas and mushrooms.
Vitamin C, which is found in strawberries and peppers.
Folate, which is found in edamame and lentils.
Magnesium, which is found in pumpkin seeds and almonds.
Oil
Pita
Some salad, olive oil and lemon
Yoghurt, cucumber and lemon
Chillies
Pickled red onions
Method:
Start by mixing together your spices. Add a glug of oil to your mushrooms and then sprinkle the spices on top. Mix well to coat every bit of the mushies.
Now grab a skillet and a bit of oil add in the mushrooms. Add something heavy on top, like another pan or a bowl and press down, let cook for 3-4 mins until charred slightly and then flip the mushrooms and repeat the process.
Now mix together your salad ingredients in a bowl and your yoghurt ingredients in another bowl.
Heat up your flatbread, load on the salad and yoghurt, then the mushroom shawarma and then top with Chillies and pickled red onions and ENJOY!!
This is one of my favorite recipes to come back to every winter. In addition to consuming copious amounts of fresh pineapple for the bromelain, this is a wonderful home remedy for when you're feeling under the weather that is cost-effective.  obviously if you're extremely sick, you should probably visit your doctor and none of this is ever meant to take the place of medical advice; but for your every day coughs and colds this is a great way to help support your immune system. You can even take it as a preventative before you get sick. 
I personally like to add to the onion uses by cutting up onions (especially bits I won't be cooking) and leave them in a small dish of some kind in the house so they can soak up any extra nasty business in the air.
I've also seen people put a bag of onions in their bathroom to help absorb any smells .....just don't ever eat that bag of onions. 
breakfast today! I made an overnight chia seed mix with protein powders and coconut milk then topped it with blueberries, strawberries, peanut butter and dark chocolate chips ✨ delicious!!
