Autumn is the season when we should use all the gifts of nature as efficiently as possible and prepare the body for winter. Likarni.com answers the question, what do you need to have on your desk to get the most out of it?

Vegetables and fruits. Surely many are familiar with the recommendation to use vegetables and fruits in raw form or with minimal heat treatment. And this is correct, because this way the maximum amount of useful substances is preserved in the products. You should also give preference to local products, because there is no need to additionally process them with preservatives for long-term transportation, which is safer.

Cabbage and pumpkin, carrots, onions and garlic must be present on the table . You should not give up leaf lettuce, parsley and tomatoes. But the amount of potatoes used should be slightly reduced, especially if you are afraid to gain a couple of extra kilograms by winter. After all, in autumn, the body forms reserves much more easily. If possible, it is better to replace the potato with Jerusalem artichoke or sweet potato. Eating dishes made from beans will not only satiate, but also enrich the body with minerals and easily digestible proteins.

The most autumn fruit at all times were apples and grapes , as well as all kinds of gourd crops.  They are a source of group B vitamins, and their use has a positive effect on the body's metabolic processes.

Meat and fish. If you are not a fan of a vegetarian diet, when creating an autumn menu from meat products, you should first of all pay attention to beef and rabbit. Having an excellent protein composition and excellent digestibility, they help the body in building the "correct" proteins, which has a beneficial effect on the work of internal organs, improves the condition of the skin and ligaments, and also helps to regulate the hormonal balance of the body. Do not forget about offal, such as liver. It will be an excellent source of vitamins A, D, E, K.

But it is better to give preference to duck from poultry meat . The presence of a large amount of Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D will help strengthen immunity.

 

Oceanic fish and seafood in the autumn diet will be most useful, because they have an excellent composition of protein and fats, are saturated with trace elements and are a natural source of iodine for the body. Despite the fact that the price of such products is high, we recommend including them in the family diet in small quantities.

Cereals, nuts, dried fruits. The most useful porridge for the autumn table will be buckwheat, pearl barley or millet. They will help the cardiovascular system, will not cause extra pounds, and pearl porridge is even attributed with the presence of an antiviral effect. All nuts are useful at any time of the year, it all depends on your taste preferences. The only rule when using them is to observe the norm and not overeat. In autumn, there are quite a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, and taking into account the fact that all dried fruits, with rare exceptions, are now treated with preservatives, it is better to refrain from using them until winter.
