Pils for health?

Yes, but not always! In the summer, our body is able to make up for the lack of vitamins naturally, getting them along with food and sunlight. However, it is necessary to know what vitamins to take throughout the year so that your health is not threatened by hypovitaminosis or vitamin deficiency.

Vitamins are necessary for an adult for the normal functioning of all organs and systems of the body.

Here is some necessary groups of vitamins

Vitamin A
Vitamin A deficiency leads to deterioration of vision, skin condition, decreased immunity and slowing down of growth.

Vitamins of group B
Vitamins of group B are involved in metabolism, each vitamin of this group controls the functioning of the nervous system. Deficiency of B vitamins affects the general condition of the body and manifests itself in the form of bad mood, fatigue, apathy, insomnia, irritability.

Vitamin C
Vitamin C is responsible for immunity, is a powerful antioxidant, normalizes redox processes. Signs of its deficiency are often dry skin, hair loss, brittle nails, nosebleeds, rapid fatigue, weakening of muscle tone, pain in the lower back and limbs.

If you do not need any one vitamin and need a complex «nourishment» of the body to improve your overall well-being, pay attention to vitamin and mineral complexes. However, it is necessary to use them following the recommendations of specialists - it is necessary to remember about such an effect as hypervitaminosis.

Hello. Let’s talk about dinner and its benefits today. One of the most important rules is to have dinner 2.5-3 hours before bedtime. Dinner can be very easy, but if it was heavy, cardio the next day will be enough. A list of products and dishes that do not fit into the framework of a healthy dinner:
Flour dishes, snubs, confectionery, sweets;
Pasta (including hard varieties), white rice, potatoes, instant porridge;
Fried dishes;
Fruits with high sugar content (sweet grapes, bananas, melons), dried fruits, nuts;
Store cottage cheeses, sweet yogurts, ready-made cottage cheese desserts. You should eat meat, cottage cheese, eggs, vegetables for dinner. A healthy dinner can help improve mood, increase immunity, prevent diseases and improve sleep in general. A healthy dinner can improve mood, blood sugar level, intestinal microbiome, sleep and overall sense of well-being.
