00:04And staying warm isn't just about layers. It starts with what's on your plate.
00:09As temperatures drop, your body burns more energy to protect its core,
00:12making the right fuel more important than ever.
00:15Root veggies like carrots and beets deliver steady, long-lasting energy,
00:19helping your body generate consistent warmth instead of quick spikes and crashes.
00:23Beans like chickpeas and lentils digest slowly,
00:26releasing heat over time and keeping your energy steady in the cold.
00:30Vitamin D-rich foods like salmon and eggs step up during darker winter days,
00:34supporting muscle and energy when your body is working overtime.
00:38Whole grains like oatmeal and quinoa provide fiber and protein that helps sustain energy,
00:42and that sustained energy helps power heat production.
00:45And yes, even dark chocolate earns a spot with fats and proteins
00:49that can give your metabolism a subtle boost.
00:52When winter won't let up, the right fuel helps your body keep up.
