Why it is harmful to eat sweets during the acute respiratory viral infection season: a pediatrician's comment
During the season of viruses and colds, one must take a responsible attitude towards health. It is important for adults to take care not only of themselves, but also of their children.
First of all, you need to remember about preventive measures.
It is necessary not only to follow all the rules of hygiene, but also to get enough sleep and remember about physical activity.
Particular attention should be paid to nutrition. It should be healthy and balanced.
Pediatrician Daria Markova spoke about this in more detail in an interview with representatives of the publication Doctor Peter .
As the specialist noted, the diet should be rich in protein, which can be taken from dairy products, fish, and meat.
You also need to eat vegetables and fruits.
But you will have to give up sweets.
The thing is that excess sugar can reduce the immune response.
But you need to reduce not only the number of cakes and waffles on your menu, but it’s also better to give up freshly squeezed juices, which contain a lot of natural sugars.
