Kale is one of my favorite vegetables because it delivers so much nutrition in every bite. Kale can be incredibly delicious when it’s prepared the right way. It’s packed with fiber, antioxidants, and compounds that support your body’s natural detox pathways and overall vitality. This salad highlights everything I love about kale—massaged with olive oil and lemon to soften the leaves and topped with olives and pine nuts for crunch. Want an even more balanced meal? Add salmon, a poached egg, or tofu for an easy boost of protein that keeps you full and satisfied.

The holidays are a wonderful time to cook, gather, and enjoy being indoors with the people you love. They also bring more activity into your home, which can raise the level of indoor pollutants. Extra cooking, burning candles, fireplaces, and having more people in enclosed spaces all increase airborne contaminants like VOCs, viruses, and allergens. And because cold weather keeps our windows closed, these particles tend to build up instead of circulating out. It’s a small but meaningful stressor on your immune system at a time when you want to feel your best.
At home, I keep an AirDoctor running for exactly this reason. Their advanced three-stage filtration system, including a medical-grade UltraHEPA filter, captures particles far smaller than what standard HEPA filters can remove. It works quietly in the background to reduce viruses and bacteria, filter mold spores and pollen, clear smoke and cooking odors, and remove VOCs from everyday household items and holiday décor.
Clean air supports your energy, sleep, and overall well-being throughout the season and all year long. While your unit may arrive after the holidays due to shipping timing, you’ll still be locking in great savings and cleaner air for the year ahead.
