Winter is the time of infectious and colds. It was during this period that the body sorely lacks the sun and vitamins. To protect the body from disease, it is necessary to include certain foods in the diet.
Berries
In the summer, you eat handfuls of berries just on the machine. However, they are good for the body in winter as well. Of course, in the cold season, they are not cheap, but allow yourself to buy some "live" vitamins, at least for making a smoothie or adding to porridge.
Yogurt
Yogurt saturates the body with vitamin A and contains beneficial bacteria that affect your immune system. This product can serve as a healthy snack. You can add berries or dip fruits to it.
Honey
For centuries, honey was considered a natural antibiotic that interfered with the development of bacteria. Eat it with tea, pancakes, yogurt or porridge.
Mushrooms
It is a source of rare vitamin D and food for immunity. The study found that cancer patients who underwent chemical irradiation improved immunity after eating mushrooms.
Turmeric
Turmeric, according to another study, can help fight infection, lower inflammation, and treat digestive problems. It can be used as a salad dressing or cauliflower dressing.
Sweet potato
Includes vitamins A and C. There are many ways to eat sweet potatoes. These are soups, baked potatoes, potato soufflé.
Ginger
A pinch of ginger is an excellent remedy for viral infections. You can add it to tea or lemonade, prepare meals and salads with ginger.
Garlic
Of course, its smell is far from attractive, however, the benefits of garlic are unconditional. If possible, use pure garlic, add to salads, soups, cook stewed vegetables with it.
Drink hot
Change coffee for tea in winter. It not only warms up the body, strengthens the immune system and defeats infection, but also helps to keep water in the body at a sufficient level.
Cinnamon
