According to experts, depending on the time of year, the human body needs certain vitamins to function properly. Nutritionist Marina Makisha told Zvezda TV about the vitamins and nutrients needed for the body in the autumn-winter period.
According to the doctor, in the cold season, the diet should include adequate amounts of protein. The main components of the diet are meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. At the same time, a lack of protein in the body can lead to a decrease in immunity, which is highly undesirable in the period of respiratory viral diseases.
Makisha noted that the diet, along with small amounts of frozen or fresh berries, should include vegetables and fruits that play a key role in vitamins and antioxidants and help boost immunity against various diseases. "For example, you can use sauerkraut.
It can be included in the diet more often. It is a well-fermented product with high levels of vitamin C and beneficial bacteria that affect the intestinal microflora, which helps maintain good immunity, "said the nutritionist.
As the days get shorter in the winter months, the amount of vitamin D produced by the skin from the sun's rays gradually decreases.
Therefore, the doctor recommended taking vitamin D for prophylaxis during the winter: "In order to unambiguously adjust the dose of this vitamin with a specialist, you need to pass tests and understand the level in the body. Omega-6 will help the nervous system in the symptoms of sleep disorders and depression.
