279: What to Eat During Challenging Times
Our friend and go-to Real Food Dietitian, Serena Marie, RD is back on the podcast. Seeing as Serena is an RD in a hospital in NYC, it seemed fitting to hear what she is experiencing professionally and also personally. This episode is a roller coaster of emotions from frustration to anger to fear to love.
During our conversation we discussed:
What was good when this episode was recorded on March 20, 2020
Serena’s plea for people to follow the six feet of social distancing rule and what’s happening in an NYC hospital
Why we should focus on fruits and vegetables right now
What foods to eat for vitamins C, D, and zinc
Our favorite chocolate brands, and how dark chocolate is a good source of zinc (yay!)
How it’s telling right now that exercise (with social distancing) is still allowed in a lot of areas
The benefits of exercise and why you need it now more than ever
Our concern for gym owners
How to do “social jiu-jitsu” when it comes to staying in touch with your friends
