Health experts advise balanced nutrition for seasonal immunity
As seasonal transitions occur, health experts are emphasizing the importance of balanced nutrition to support the immune system. Nutrition and Diet Expert Havva Korkut notes that falling temperatures can weaken immunity and lead to chronic fatigue or memory difficulties, particularly if there are deficiencies in vitamins D and B12.
To combat these effects, experts recommend increasing intake of Vitamin C through foods like peppers, parsley, grapefruit, and pomegranate. Essential minerals such as zinc, magnesium, and selenium can be found in unroasted oilseeds like walnuts and almonds. Additionally, maintaining hydration is critical, even when the sensation of thirst decreases in cooler weather.
Other dietary recommendations include consuming 25-35 grams of fiber daily from vegetables and legumes, and incorporating omega-3 fatty acids. Traditional remedies, such as raspberry and clove preserves or beetroot kvass, are also highlighted for their potential to support immunity and gut health. Experts stress that while specific foods can aid health, a holistic approach involving sleep, stress management, and consistent meal patterns is necessary for long-term wellness.
