According to her, the diet during cold weather should be based on complex carbohydrates, such as those found in whole grains and bread.
She says: “Protein-rich, low-fat foods are also important because they provide the body with the essential elements needed to synthesize immune system proteins. Therefore, fish dishes, as well as chicken, turkey, and rabbit, should be included in the diet . To ensure easy digestion of the protein, it is recommended to cook these foods over low heat, boil them, or grill them.”
The expert points out that cheese, eggs, peas, chickpeas, beans, and lentils are also rich in protein. It's also essential to get enough vitamin A, which strengthens mucous membranes and prevents viruses from entering the body. This vitamin is found, for example, in butter. Carotenoids, which are converted into vitamin A, are found in dried apricots, carrots, pumpkin, onions, turnips, and beets.
