Health & Wellness Week: Healthy Choices

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) — On Tuesday night’s Health and Wellness segment we are talking about making healthy choices.

We all know how important it is to eat healthy, especially during a pandemic but are there certain foods that can help boost our immune system? Dr. Andrea Belen Judkins of Rochester Regional Health answers our questions.

If you’re trying to drop a few pounds you may have heard of the keto or charcoal diet, and intermittent fasting. What’s the best way to take the pounds off and keep them off? Bariatric Surgeon, Doctor Patricia Hughes helps us sort through the confusion.

And while most of us try to eat a balanced, healthy diet no one is perfect. We talk to Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator, Cassie Wright, from Rochester Regional Health about the most common nutrient deficiencies. She explains why those nutrients are so important and the foods we should be eating to prevent those deficiencies.
