A well-balanced diet rich in nutrients does more than fuel you throughout the day. The foods you consume affect how well you think and resist disease.

To rev up your brain power and your immune system, take a look at the online resources below. Your body and mind will thank you for it.

• Stock your kitchen wisely and make these brain- and immunity-boosting foods part of your daily routine. Once you establish healthy eating habits, you’ll never go back.
• An adequate intake of nutrients helps cells perform their best – and that includes the cells that make up our immune system. Be sure to fill your fridge with these eight foods to support a strong immune system.

The Wellness Committee also invites you to check out this healthy eating pyramid from Harvard University. Use it as the basis for a grocery list every time you go shopping.
