Nutritionist reveals which foods will save you from hypovitaminosis
Vegetables and fruits will help solve the problem of seasonal hypovitaminosis.
This was reported by endocrinologist and nutritionist Anastasia Podkhvatilina.
The expert listed products that help fight hypovitaminosis in a conversation with the Izvestia publication.
What foods will save you from hypovitaminosis
As the doctor explained, by winter hypovitaminosis doctors primarily mean a lack of vitamin C.
Even if a person feels relatively well, ascorbic acid may not be enough, Podkhvatilina noted.
According to her, Rospotrebnadzor experts recommend getting vitamin C from decoctions of sea buckthorn, rose hips, currants, and rowan.
Ascorbic acid is also found in large quantities in kiwi, citrus fruits, persimmons, and berries.
It’s good to add frozen berries to porridge, protein yoghurts and tea, ” the nutritionist added.
If overseas fruits are out of your budget, you should pay attention to sauerkraut.
However, vegetables and fruits alone are not enough, because in winter the body lacks not only ascorbic acid, but also vitamin D. There is a lot of it in “wild” fish and cod liver.
B vitamins can be obtained from eggs, lean meat, fish, liver, butter, legumes, cereals, green vegetables, seeds, nuts, and whole grain bread.
Carrots, apricots, pumpkin, and bell peppers can help replenish vitamin A deficiency.
