What To Eat In February

Our immune system needs to be recharged. Especially since there are many infectious diseases in the air now and we need strength to resist them. Therefore, it is urgent to boost immunity and replenish vitamin C deficiency. In February, our body needs heat, so we need to eat mostly hot food.

The lack of vitamins, minerals, and sunlight increases the likelihood of depression, so you shouldn’t miss the opportunity to go for a walk in the fresh air, especially on sunny days. After all, spring is coming soon and it’s time to think about your figure – you should eat low-calorie and healthy foods.
Foods that will help strengthen your body and welcome spring with joy:

  • Sauerkraut

Sauerkraut has long been considered one of the healthiest foods, especially in winter and spring. Sauerkraut is a leader among canned foods in terms of vitamin C content. In addition, it contains a large amount of vitamins A and B. Another feature of sauerkraut is its low-calorie content.

It strengthens the immune system, has a positive effect on the body in case of poor metabolism, activates intestinal motility, improves heart function, and affects mood.

  • Pomelo

Pomelo is considered a dietary product. It is often compared to grapefruit, but unlike grapefruit, pomelo has a sweet taste and is easier to peel. Pomelo is rich in vitamin C, B vitamins, phosphorus, calcium, sodium, iron, and essential oils. The fiber contained in pomelo has a good effect on the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. Potassium supports the cardiovascular system. Pomelo perfectly satisfies hunger. By including pomelo in our winter diet, we boost our immunity and help our body prevent flu and other colds.

  • Pomegranate

Pomegranate is a delicious and healthy fruit. It is called a “cure for a hundred diseases”. Pomegranate juice is recommended for anemia. Due to the content of tannins, pomegranate juice is used as an anti-inflammatory agent for burns. Sweet pomegranate juice helps with kidney disease, and sour pomegranate juice helps with kidney stones and gallbladders.

  • Raisins

Raisins are one of the sweetest dried fruits. In ancient times, dried grapes were used to strengthen the nervous system and as a sedative. Today, doctors recommend consuming raisins for heart disease, anemia, liver and kidney disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, hypertension, and respiratory inflammation. Raisins fight weakness and strengthen gums and teeth. Raisins retain almost all the properties of grapes.

  • Ginger

Ginger is considered a very healthy product. It contains magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, potassium, iron, manganese, vitamin C, choline, etc. The essential oils in ginger make it extremely aromatic. Ginger is used to improving digestion, stimulate the intestines and stomach, increase appetite, strengthen memory, relieve headaches, and remove toxins from the body.
