How to eat right in the fall and support the body with vitamins

Autumn time dic­tates cer­tain rules of health care. Dur­ing this peri­od, a per­son has many ways to pro­tect his immu­ni­ty, how­ev­er, there are also more sources of risk for the body.

Endocri­nol­o­gist and nutri­tion­ist Tatyana Fil­ip­po­va told 5‑tv.ru how to approach the for­ma­tion of your diet in the fall.

With the end of sum­mer, peo­ple need to make cer­tain adjust­ments to their usu­al diet in order to pro­tect them­selves. At this time of the year, there are still plen­ty of fresh fruits and veg­eta­bles that pro­mote health. This sit­u­a­tion must be tak­en advan­tage of, includ­ing in your diet the max­i­mum pos­si­ble amount of vit­a­mins and oth­er use­ful trace ele­ments.

“In autumn there are no less sea­son­al veg­eta­bles, fruits and berries than in sum­mer. There­fore, you need to try to eat sea­son­al prod­ucts dur­ing this peri­od, ” Fil­ip­po­va advised.

The impor­tance of prop­er nutri­tion at this time of the year is asso­ci­at­ed with the grad­ual dete­ri­o­ra­tion of the weath­er: it becomes cold­er, more rain and sleet, few­er sun­ny days. These fac­tors increase the risk of var­i­ous viral and infec­tious dis­eases, such as SARS, in the fall. In addi­tion, after autumn, win­ter will come, when the weath­er will become even worse, and healthy foods will no longer be avail­able in such abun­dance.

“You need to ensure that the diet is as bal­anced as pos­si­ble, so that it con­tains foods that are rich in vit­a­mins. In par­tic­u­lar, these are just the very sea­son­al prod­ucts that ripen dur­ing this par­tic­u­lar peri­od of time.the expert advis­es.

A bal­anced diet means a well-com­posed and var­ied diet. It should include not only veg­eta­bles, fruits and berries in suf­fi­cient quan­ti­ties, but also dairy and sour-milk prod­ucts, soups, whole grains and a lim­it­ed amount of fat­ty foods.

If in doubt about the spe­cif­ic needs of the body, then you can con­tact the spe­cial­ists. Appro­pri­ate tests will reveal a defi­cien­cy of any impor­tant micronu­tri­ents. In this case, it will be pos­si­ble to more indi­vid­u­al­ly approach the issue of com­pil­ing the right diet.

An excel­lent solu­tion for any time of the year is the obser­vance of the diet. You need to eat frac­tion­al­ly, five to six times a day. This usu­al­ly includes three full meals and two snacks.

Also, do not for­get about phys­i­cal activ­i­ty. It is impor­tant not to let the autumn blues break you down and move more. Reg­u­lar dai­ly walks around the city will also add points to your health.
