While the weather is not the most pleasant in part of the country, this is not without consequences for the human body. Adapting your diet can be a solution.
A sun that shines, without clouds to obstruct it: this is the daily life that many fellow citizens hope for. The return of sunny days is expected with spring, but not all of France can yet boast of clear skies. If the absence of sunshine necessarily plays on morale, it is especially not without consequences on the body. Indeed, the sun is the main source of vitamin D. The latter helps strengthen the bones by maintaining a sufficiently high level of calcium in the body. However, in France, about half of the population has vitamin D deficiencies, according to various studies. However, there are non-medical remedies to compensate for this lack.
Food plays a major role in the various needs of the human body. Thus, vitamin D deficiency can be completely compensated by nutrition. But as summer approaches, it’s best to do this in stages. Francesca Beretta, Italian nutritionist, graduate in medical biotechnology and holder of a master’s degree in clinical nutrition, advises, in the Corriere della Serra“to gradually increase the consumption of foods rich in this vitamin, taking care to alternate the different foods.”
Do not eat food haphazardly
She therefore recommends using cod liver oil or eating mackerel, salmon, tuna, herring, sturgeon, trout or anchovies, among other things, to provide the necessary needs. This specialist, author of several books on the subject, also mentions egg yolks, mushrooms, meat and dairy products. It remains to dose each of these foods correctly, once a week for each.
Having enough vitamin D in your body helps prevent certain muscle disorders, such as lack of tone, tetany attacks or convulsions. In addition, this greatly limits the risk of bone problems (osteomalacia and rachitis in particular), indicates the National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety.
