Nutritionist, psychologist and pharmacologist explain how to deal with hypovitaminosis
Seasonal deficiency of vitamins in the body occurs in winter and spring, and the peak occurs in March. The Ministry of Health found that up to 90% of Russians suffer from a partial lack of vital vitamins and minerals. A pharmacologist, a nutritionist, and a psychologist suggested 360 several ways to solve the problem.
Track down the first symptoms
Vitamins are needed by the body in order to cope with the change of seasons. Hypovitaminosis can be identified by several characteristic features. Professor and Doctor of the Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Radiobiology of the Russian National Research Medical University named after N. I. Pirogov Elena Kareva listed them.
“The most common symptoms of hypovitaminosis are fatigue, weakness, sleep problems, problems with the gastrointestinal tract, appetite suffers,” she said.
Fatigue comes faster than usual, and performance decreases. Appetite changes both in the direction of overeating and complete reluctance to eat. Apathy appears. Weather-dependent people feel headaches, mood swings, pain in muscles and joints in spring.
Give up sweets in favor of fruits
Science and medicine have come together and learned how to defeat hypovitaminosis. Nutritionist Alexandra Korol advised me to start with the diet.
“The first thing to do is adjust your diet. No wonder they say: we are what we eat. Therefore, doctors recommend giving up fast food, high-calorie drinks and starchy foods, ”the specialist said.
In addition, it is worth reducing the consumption of fatty dairy products, but adding more seasonal fruits and vegetables, such as potatoes, beets, carrots and cabbage.
Simple carbohydrates, according to the nutritionist, are harmful because of the sugars. They disrupt the intestinal microflora, reduce immunity and weaken protection against viruses. That is why Alexandra Korol advised to abandon such products, remove chips, all confectionery and processed meat in the form of sausages and sausages from the diet.
Walk and think positively
The psychologist has his own approach. Marina Romanovskaya recommended daily walks in the fresh air, 10 minutes is enough. They will give the body a charge of physical and mental vigor.
“This is work with your thoughts. When we get up in the morning, we should not be upset by bad weather. You need to try to tune in to the positivism of thinking. And do all your planned things, regardless of what the weather is like outside, ”advised the psychologist.
Drink a course of vitamins
With hypovitaminosis, according to Elena Kareva, the balance of intake and consumption of vitamins in the body is disturbed. Multivitamin or multivitamin complexes will help to fill the lack of vitamins and minerals - such as, for example, the Complivit drug.
“The Complivit vitamin and mineral complex was developed specifically for Russians, taking into account their diet and climatic conditions. It contains the optimal ratio of minerals and vitamins in one tablet, ”explained the pharmacologist.
The Pharmstandard-UfaVITA company has included the adult Complivit and the children's Complivit Active Chewable into the line. The latter contains four times less sugar than vitamins in the form of gummies, which is important for any child - such a composition, according to the expert, reduces the carbohydrate load on the body, reduces the damaging effect on enamel and the risk of developing caries.
The drugs are produced at one of the largest pharmaceutical plants in Russia, which meets all quality standards and has a GMP certificate. Its main feature is the use of modern technologies, including the principle of separate granulation. Incompatible vitamins and minerals are granulated separately, which allows you to saturate the body with useful substances in the maximum concentration.
