The nutritionist called the fruit useful for strengthening the immune system

Nutritionist Roman Pristansky said that persimmon will help strengthen the immune system before the cold.

In an interview with Radio 1 on October 2, the specialist emphasized that the key to strong immunity lies in a varied diet.

The expert noted that it is important to observe a measure — this is how the body gets the necessary "building blocks" at the right moment, while there is no one universal product.

He explained that carbohydrates generally help to cope with the blues, as the sweet taste stimulates the production of endorphins. Fast-digesting carbohydrates are perceived by the body especially positively. As an example, the nutritionist named persimmons, which not only strengthens the immune system and the cardiovascular system, but also helps to combat autumn longing.

According to him, to prepare for winter, it is enough to make a diet from available seasonal fruits, adhering to the principles of moderation and diversity.

On October 3, nutritionist Elena Ustinova stated that pumpkin, beetroot and cabbage are the healthiest autumn vegetables. For example, white cabbage contains vitamin U, which can heal mucous membranes and reduce the risk of exacerbation of gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. However, some people may have contraindications to eating cabbage.

On September 10, therapist and nutritionist Irina Tyurina advised to include salmon and seasonal vegetables in the autumn menu. According to her, in autumn and winter, due to a decrease in the amount of sunlight in the body, the natural production of vitamin D decreases. To replenish its level, the doctor advised adding salmon, herring, egg yolks, as well as seasonal vegetables and fruits containing antioxidants to the diet, notes 360.ru .

Earlier, Anna Ivashkevich, a nutritionist and a member of the Union of the National Association of Clinical Nutrition, said that persimmon is a dangerous product for the intestines. The specialist noted that this fruit contains a lot of tannin and vegetable fibers, especially in unripe fruits, and they can negatively affect the stomach and intestines. The nutritionist recommended eating no more than three persimmon fruits per day.

Before that, the site kp.ru with reference to experts, he wrote that the persimmon season lasts from September to December. When buying, it is important to look at the appearance: soft fruits with spots — frozen or damaged, pale with green leaves — unripe. They can be kept at room temperature or frozen to remove the viscosity. Ripe persimmons are stored in the refrigerator or freezer for up to six months, dried in a glass jar in the cool.
