Soaked apples, cod liver and tea with ginger: in Rospotrebnadzor told what to eat Leningrad before the cold snap n

With the onset of cold weather, the Interregional Department of Rospotrebnadzor in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region recommends adjusting the diet to support immunity. Residents of the regions were given the necessary advice to improve health before winter.

Vegetables and fiber

The basis of the menu should be seasonal root vegetables - beets, carrots, turnips, radish, pumpkin - as well as all types of cabbage. To improve the absorption of nutrients, you should add fermented foods: sauerkraut, urinated apples, cranberries and lingonberries. They serve as a source of probiotics and vitamin C.

Vitamin D and fats

Deficiency in sunlight requires vitamin D supplementation through fatty fish, cod liver, eggs, and butter. To better absorb this vitamin, unrefined vegetable oils (linseed, olive, sunflower) and nuts are needed.

It's a protein

For the synthesis of antibodies, the body daily requires a full-fledged protein from meat, cottage cheese, eggs or legumes. The most useful methods of heat treatment are cooking, extinguishing, baking and steaming.

Proper and healthy drinks

Instead of sugar, it is recommended to use warming spices and natural drinks: fruits baked with cinnamon, tea with ginger and sea buckthorn, a decoction of rosehip, berry fruit drinks.

Mode of day

To maintain a stable energy level throughout the day, you should adhere to three main meals and one or two light snacks (for example, an apple, pear or persimmon).

Compliance with these rules will help to form a balanced autumn diet and improve health.

Earlier, “MK in Leningrad region” wrote that in the 47th region, the incidence of SARS increased by 62% compared to last week. The increase in morbidity is facilitated by children who attend kindergartens and schools where intensive communication takes place, which contributes to an increase in morbidity, especially among younger schoolchildren.
