We know this COVID-19 quarantine isn't convenient

We know this COVID-19 quarantine isn't convenient or particularly fun. But it is a time we can focus on the things that we usually push to the back burner when we're in the usual hustle and grind of our everyday lives! When is that last time you really prioritized your own health? Take advantage of this time at home to make yourself well. Not only do you probably have the time, but it's more important than ever to keep your body and immune system strong and your mental health on track. ⁠
⁠
Our Marketing Director and Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach Stephanie Zarling put together some ways that we can prioritize our health during this coronavirus outbreak. Blog link in bio!⁠

There are three things we love about Amazon Subscr

There are three things we love about Amazon Subscribe and Save: ⁠
⁠
1. you can save 5%-15% on products you put in your subscription⁠
⁠
2. it is a great way to get food that you might not be able to find at the grocery store right now⁠
⁠
3. it can help you extend grocery store visits if you are trying to limit how much you are going out.

Pantry staples like nut butters, flours, and cooking oil are great to have on hand to easily put a meal together. Now is a great time to experiment with alternative flours like cassava, almond and coconut flour if you're not able to get your usual wheat flour.⁠

While there is no cure or treatment available yet

While there is no cure or treatment available yet for COVID-19, we should be doing all that we can to strengthen our immune system and keep ourselves and our families healthy even if we're not sick.⁠
⁠
Bone broth is simple & easy to make yet powerful when taken advantage of:⁠
⁠
--Bone broth stretches your food farther and easily fills you up.⁠
--Bone broth can help boost the immune system⁠
--Bone broth can help open respiratory airways and clear mucus⁠
--Bone broth can help support a healthy microbiome and improve your mood.⁠
⁠
Making your own bone broth ensures that you know what's in it, and allows you to put to use food scraps you might have otherwise thrown away, saving you money!⁠
⁠
With so many of us at home right now, it's the perfect time to learn to make bone broth and take advantage of its many benefits.⁠

On Saturday, the Coronavirus Task Force said hospi

On Saturday, the Coronavirus Task Force said hospitals are running out of supplies, especially N95 surgical masks. Since many dentists and veterinarians are limiting their appointments to only emergency visits, the task force asked that if there are extra N95 masks to spare, that they be donated to their local hospital. ⁠
⁠
Our BurgerFit team is calling our local dentist and veterinarian offices to let them know that this is an option in case they missed the briefing. If you are a dentist or vet, please donate any extra masks you may have to your local hospital! Or if you're just like us and want to help, call your local dentists, orthodontists, and vets to pass this information along. It could mean saving the lives of physicians and nurses that are overwhelmed by this crisis. Without the proper protection, they will also catch this horrible virus. ⁠
