How to nourish your body in winter

We need to supplement some nutrition in every season. Supplementing more nutrients that the body lacks can effectively alleviate many unnecessary diseases, which is very helpful. Many people have also adopted similar methods to supplement nutrition and achieved good results. However, the way of supplementing in different seasons is different. Let us learn about how to supplement in winter.

1. No need to supplement iron. Less than 1% of men are truly iron deficient, so there is no need to worry about how to supplement iron. This is because: iron supplementation may mask the disease information conveyed to people by internal bleeding. If most men suffer from iron deficiency anemia, they may have hidden dangers of chronic visceral blood loss or hematopoietic disorders in their bodies. If you blindly supplement iron without finding out the cause of iron deficiency, the information indicating internal bleeding will become vague, which will delay diagnosis and treatment. Secondly, compared with women, men cannot withstand excessive iron intake. Once the iron in most men's bodies is "full tank", iron absorption stops. Iron overload can even cause serious health problems.

2. The intake of vitamin E should be increased. Vitamin E can prevent cholesterol blockage and help fight coronary heart disease. Almost all whole grains (especially wheat bran), nuts, and vegetable oils contain vitamin E. Therefore, it is recommended that men eat more of these foods. In addition, you can also supplement it with citrus, dark green vegetables and orange fruits and vegetables.

3. Supplement two vitamins - vitamin B6 and folic acid. Homocysteine ​​is one of the risk factors for heart disease that has been recognized in recent years, and the vitamins that help break down homocysteine ​​and make it less dangerous are vitamin B6 and folic acid. Vitamin B6 is commonly found in chicken, fish, whole grains and legumes; folic acid is found in large quantities in green leafy vegetables, oranges, legumes and fortified cereals.

4. Protein should be consumed in moderation. Except for men who engage in high-intensity bodybuilding, most men do not need to supplement too much protein. A moderate amount of meat, poultry, fish or legumes per day, plus an appropriate amount of low-fat dairy products is enough. Even the best protein is useless if the body doesn't need it.

How to nourish our body in winter is different from other seasons, and we need to pay great attention to it. Diet therapy is a very good way to supplement the various nutrients lacking in our body. It can effectively help us prevent the threat of many unnecessary diseases. I hope it can be of some help to everyone.
