Healthy And Beautiful In Autumn

The sad cool and humid autumn is on our doorstep, which means that the time of "seasonal" colds and the exacerbation of some chronic diseases is coming. In order to maintain our good health and to avoid the depressive states in which most of us fall, it is necessary to immediately take  measures to strengthen our immunity . Given the fact that the time of fruit and vegetable abundance is disappearing, this task may not be so easy. Let's see which products help strengthen the body and at the same time are suitable for maintaining a slim figure.

• In the first place, these are fish and seafood, which are rich in protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids and iodine. It is recommended to consume such dishes 1-2 times a week. Another option is to take fish oil capsules, which can be found in any pharmacy.
• Yogurt products containing live bifidobacteria, which are useful at any time of year, but especially in autumn. Their regular use makes it possible not only to avoid the appearance of dysbacteriosis, but also to strengthen the immune system as a whole. Therefore, more often buy "live" yogurts, kefir and other low-fat yogurt products.
• The daily menu should also include foods high in fiber. These are: wholemeal bread (rye, bran), pumpkin seeds, nuts (which also contain a lot of vegetable fat). Not forget to h Ernest crops: more pulps made from buckwheat, oatmeal, wheat and the like. Fresh eggs have an extremely beneficial effect on the body's immune defenses. Quails have a special dietary value, the consumption of which is recommended by specialists (4-5 raw eggs are drunk in the morning on an empty stomach).
• The autumn diet should include vegetable fats, so more often salads should be seasoned with olive oil and lemon juice.
• To avoid beriberi, emphasize seasonal fruits and vegetables. Even in the middle of autumn you can find apples and plums, buckwheat and rowan, and in some areas - watermelons and melons. All these products will enrich the body with vitamins A, C, E and the necessary trace elements. In addition, they are powerful antioxidants.
• Pay attention to the rosehip - the tea and its decoction are literally soaked in vitamins. Lemons are no less useful - a real storehouse of vitamin C, without which you can not go in the fall. Do not forget the bee products honey and propolis. Honey can replace sugar in many dishes and drinks, so you will strengthen your body. And warm milk with honey calms the nervous system and "drives away" depression.
• In pursuit of healthy meals, do not neglect drinks. Fresh juices and high-quality juices help fight beriberi and increase the body's defenses. Try to drink enough fluids every day - not less than 1.5 liters.

So, to summarize: fish oil, dairy products with live bacteria, cereals, apples, rose hips and honey.

In addition to everything said so far, in the fall it is good to take special vitamin complexes to compensate for the lack of natural vitamins and minerals in the body.

We should also mention that the autumn-winter period is not the most suitable for conducting dietary experiments on yourself. If you want to lose more than 5 kilograms, it is better to leave this mission for the spring, because dietary restrictions at this time can lead to a catastrophic deficiency of vital substances. And then you will be powerless against viruses. If you still decide to go on a diet during these months of the year, try to consume low-fat or low-fat products, exclude from your menu foods made from yeast dough, sweet temptations. Instead, eat skim cheeses, fish, dairy products and porridge.

The right approach and drawing up a diet to boost immunity will allow your body to firmly resist the colds and depressions that accompany for some colorful, for others gray autumn.
