The expert explained that there are a number of foods that help maintain energy levels and strengthen the immune system during the fall season.
She emphasized that a balanced diet is the foundation of good health, noting the importance of making seasonal vegetables rich in antioxidants a key part of the diet, as they help fight free radicals and boost immunity. She also stressed the importance of foods that support healthy gut bacteria, such as dairy products and fermented foods.
She said, "Sauerkraut is one of the best foods for fall, as it contains probiotics and vitamin C, which help strengthen the immune system." She also recommended adding nutrient-rich fruits like bilberries and blackberries to the diet, noting that frozen fruits retain most of their nutritional value.
She added that sources of omega-3 fatty acids—such as fish, walnuts, and flaxseed oil—contribute to supporting cardiovascular health. Regarding seasonal fruits, she recommended quince, pears, and pomegranates, explaining that pomegranates are rich in antioxidants and help the body adapt to seasonal changes and weather fluctuations.
She noted that "healthy food should be enjoyable," suggesting examples such as a warm quince drink with honey and cinnamon in the morning, fermented cabbage salad with flaxseed oil for lunch, and grilled pears with yogurt and nuts for dinner.
The expert concluded by saying that paying attention to the immune system should be a permanent, not seasonal, habit, stressing the importance of gradually introducing healthy foods into the diet and monitoring their positive impact on general health.
