And how to make a diet for this time Yulia Pigareva, nutritionist, therapist, spoke about the “gifts of nature”, which will be especially useful at the end of winter and at the same time retain their properties until the beginning of summer. Discuss
According to a nutritionist, fruits and vegetables often have a long shelf life. Take an apple for example: in winter there will be less vitamins than in the summer season, but at the same time fiber will remain in it, explains Pigareva. However, she clarified that the correct storage conditions must be observed for this. As in the case of beets and carrots, which are also capable of long-term storage.
Pigareva notes that it is not entirely correct to compare tomatoes and cucumbers with carrots, potatoes and beets. Because these are vegetables with different composition and different content of vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates. “There are noticeably more carbohydrates in potatoes (17g) than in tomatoes (3.2g),” she explained.
In addition, the nutritionist gave advice on choosing a diet. So, she advises to give preference to seasonal vegetables and fruits, but sometimes add non-seasonal ones.
As for the winter season, Pigareva noted that greenhouse tomatoes and cucumbers can be consumed even at this time. Yes, they contain a little less useful vitamins than in summer, but they will still be quite useful, Pigareva noted.
