By the beginning of spring, the human body may suffer from a significant lack of vitamins, which deprives it of energy, good sleep and well-being.
Dietitian Elena Solomatina noted in an interview that one of the most common deficiencies at this time of the year is a lack of vitamin D. This vitamin, one of the most important for immunity, is produced by the body when the skin is exposed to sunlight, and during the period of winter deprived of the sun, its content in it decreases sharply.
“To compensate for the deficiency of vitamin D, which is observed in 80% of citizens due to lack of sun, cod and pollock liver will help,” Solomatina told Radio 1.
Another vitamin that many people experience a shortage at the end of winter is vitamin C. Elena Solomatina shared: one of the best sources of a valuable antioxidant is bell pepper –
“The daily norm of vitamin C is contained in half a bell pepper.”
You can also get the vitamin from affordable dried rose hips.
