During the off-season, it’s essential for everyone to consider replenishing any shortages of vitamins and minerals. Ulyana Makhova, an assistant professor in the Department of Polyclinic Therapy at the Pirogov University Clinical Medicine Institute, provided insights on how to achieve this.
The issue of avitaminosis during seasonal transitions, as reported by “MK in Volgograd,” remains a subject of considerable debate. According to Ulyana Makhova, the situation is influenced by an individual’s dietary habits as well as where their fruits and vegetables are sourced. Furthermore, the variety of one’s diet plays a crucial role.
The expert also highlighted the significance of Vitamin D for the human body. Insufficient levels of the “sunshine vitamin” during winter months are attributable to shorter daylight hours. As a preventative measure, supplements containing this vitamin can be consumed. Nevertheless, one should undergo screening beforehand to ascertain the precise levels present in the body.
Magnesium also serves as a beneficial aid in supporting the body during the inter-season period. This mineral aids in better adaptation to stress, plays a role in nervous system function, and sustains energy metabolism.
