The nutritionist told about the mandatory foods in the spring diet
Spring is a good time to reboot your diet and gradually get out of the winter diet through proper food selection. Yuri Brabechan, a nutritionist coach at Lapino Fitness Country Club, told about this on Thursday, April 2.
According to the expert, fatigue often appears after winter, immunity decreases, and the skin looks dull. To eliminate this, he advised including spring foods in the diet: parsley, dill, spinach, green onions, coriander, any leafy salads, radishes, cucumbers, early carrots, beets, cabbage, including sauerkraut, as well as frozen broccoli or cauliflower.
"The second block, which is often underestimated, is fermented dairy products. Kefir, natural yogurt without sugar, yogurt, fermented milk, cottage cheese. They provide protein, calcium, and, most importantly in spring, support the intestinal microflora. And the state of the microflora directly affects the immune system, the absorption of vitamins, and even mood," Brabechan said in a conversation with Lenta.Ru .
If there was little omega-3 in the diet over the winter, the specialist recommended including mackerel, herring, salmon, trout, hake and pollock in the diet. He recalled that omega-3 fatty acids have a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect, support the heart, blood vessels, joints and skin condition.
In addition, you should pay attention to chicken and quail eggs — they contain high-grade protein, choline, and fat-soluble vitamins, the trainer added. Apples, kiwis, and citrus fruits such as oranges, grapefruits, and tangerines also work well in spring. Frozen black currants, cherries, strawberries and raspberries are also suitable, which are almost as high in vitamin C and antioxidants as seasonal ones.
The specialist said that in the spring it is better to make cereals and legumes the basis of the diet.
"Buckwheat, oatmeal, barley, brown rice, as well as beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peas provide sustained energy without sugar spikes and provide the body with fiber and vegetable protein," Brabechan warned, adding that spring fatigue and headaches are often associated with dehydration, so he recommended drinking plenty of water.
Earlier that day, Irina Nikulina, a general practitioner, nutritionist, health coach, and CEO of Boiron in Russia, said that an obsessive desire to eat sweets or pastries, even after a heavy meal, can be a signal of an internal imbalance in the body.
According to her, fast carbohydrates attract the body as a source of instant energy, but their effect is short-lived and provokes new bouts of hunger. 360.ru .
