Nutrition experts suggest seasonal dietary changes to combat autumn fatigue

To combat seasonal fatigue and low vitality during autumn, nutrition experts suggest adapting diets to include seasonal, nutrient-dense foods. Camille Malacarne, a dietitian at the Montpellier-based company La Brigade de Véro, emphasizes that a varied intake of proteins, iron, vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s is essential for maintaining bodily functions during the transition to shorter days and lower temperatures.

Iron is highlighted as a critical nutrient for oxygen transport and reducing fatigue. Recommended sources include red meat, fish, and eggs, as well as plant-based options like lentils, chickpeas, and red beans. Additionally, vitamin C from seasonal fruits and vegetables, such as kiwi and citrus fruits, is recommended to support the immune system and provide antioxidant benefits.
