Some people tend to eat certain foods in winter, thinking that they help warm the body and resist the cold, such as soup, but some foods do not bring any benefit, but warn of many diseases and problems.
Health experts advise avoiding several foods during the winter, despite some of their nutritional benefits, and the reason is that they are not suitable for the seasonal climate:
dairy products:
Dairy products such as yogurt increase the density of mucus in the human body, which increases the suffering of a person with a cold or cough.
It doesn’t stop at this point, but those who eat more dairy products during this season are more susceptible to colds.
Raw vegetables:
Yes, vegetables are rich in vitamins and experts advise eating them all year round, but preparation is very important, it is not recommended to eat lean vegetables in winter.
And it is that our body needs more energy to digest these raw vegetables, and in winter we want to save energy and not spend it as much as possible.
Experts recommend serving vegetables in salads, after steaming or roasting, and preferably avoiding frying them in oil, which increases the risk of heart disease.
summer fruit
Some fruits are associated with summer, so eating them in winter means that they have been in the fridge for a long time, which is not healthy.
Therefore, it is better to avoid some fruits in winter, such as strawberries and raspberries, as their natural season is summer.
Bakery products and fats
Eating foods with a high percentage of saturated fat causes fat to accumulate in the human body, while in winter people do not make much physical effort to burn calories because of the cold weather.
Therefore, it is better to stay away from foods high in fat, carbohydrates and sugar.
