The way the human body functions in cold weather significantly differs from other times of the year. Nutrition is also a key part of maintaining our body’s work. Here are some tips for proper nutrition during the cold season:

 

Tip #1: Don’t skip meals!
The caloric content of winter food should be higher than in summer. This should be achieved by increasing the consumption of dishes made from fish, poultry, and meat, i.e., foods high in “heavy proteins.” Carbohydrates are also essential in winter. Excluding them from your diet can lead to a weakened immune system, making you more susceptible to colds and viral infections.

 

Tip #2: Vitamins and more vitamins!
It is essential to include vitamin-rich foods in your diet. Don’t forget about vitamins A and E. They are particularly important in winter. For example, vitamin E helps protect your skin from chapping and frostbite.

 

Tip #3: Don’t forget to drink water!
Even in winter, it’s necessary to drink at least 1.5 liters of fluid per day, with at least one liter being pure water. The rest can come from compotes, infusions, or warm teas.

 

Tip #4: Hot food is a must!
It’s essential to consume hot meals or warm drinks. If you have to snack on the go, it’s best to wash it down with warm tea.

 

Tip #5: Variety!
Try to make your menu as varied as possible, alternating products daily. Such a variety of dishes and the principle of small, frequent meals will provide your body with enough energy for an active lifestyle during the winter season.
