Endocrinology expert, Dr. Ekaterina Youngshared recommendations for promoting health and maintaining an emotional background during the cold season through proper nutrition.

According to the doctor, in order to avoid negative consequences, Russian residents should include in their diet foods such as pumpkin, broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, beets, celery root, parsley, parsnips and white cabbage.

The doctor emphasized that during the cold season, many people are susceptible to mood swings, which can lead to a desire to eat sweets. You can minimize the likelihood of such situations by including the mentioned foods in your diet.

In addition, Young urged avoiding fried foods, increasing fluid intake and ensuring adequate intake of vitamin D, which plays an important role in immunity and bone health.
