Mood food and health food | The nabo health tip
It is important to eat consciously and to supply your body with what it desperately needs in this season, especially now – during the transition from summer to autumn. You can achieve a lot by simply following a balanced diet. Prevent imminent colds, escape from the so-called autumn blues, help the body to adapt to the more demanding conditions that occur during the readjustment of the Human metabolism.
Easily said, but where to find what?
Here are the answers:
Vitamin D
Produced in our skin by solar radiation, our supply of vitamin d falls short in the darker months with little sunlight.
Important for:
Metabolizing calcium and phosphate. It strengthens the bones and protects from viruses, coughs and colds.
Contained in:
Fish, such as salmon, mackerel and herring. Because daylight is essential for the production of vitamin D, you should spend 20 minutes outside every day. Vitamin D cannot be excreted if overdosed. Therefore, you should have your level checked by your GP from time to time.
Vitamin C
A very important vitamin for the body’s own defenses.
Important for:
The production of antibodies as effective opponents against viruses, bacteria and germs. But it’s also important for the formation and protection of tissue.
Contained in:
Bell peppers, broccoli, brussels sprouts, sauerkraut, and citrus fruits. During this season, we recommend eating three portions of fruit a day. Since vitamin C is water-soluble, it cannot be overdosed.
Folic acid
Belongs to the group of B-vitamins. When undersupplied, you feel fatigued and depressed. B-vitamins improve the body’s defenses and vitality. In addition to that, folic acid stimulates growth and cell division processes (proliferation) as well as the renewal of cells and blood formation (hematosis).
Contained in:
Uncooked vegetables, greens, spinach and oranges. The vegetables should only be steamed to prevent destroying the folic acid. A balanced folic acid level is especially important for pregnant women to prevent maldevelopments.
Iron
About 50% of women suffer from an iron deficiency (asiderosis). This can be due to a predominantly vegetarian diet or blood loss (e.g., after surgery or, also, increased menstrual flow, or injuries etc.). Corresponding symptoms are a lack of energy and fatigue.
Contained in:
Dark meat (game, lamb, liver) but also kale, nuts and sesame. When using food supplements such as iron preparations, please consult your GP as intolerances and constipation might occur.
Vitamin B1
Why right now? Because People often eat heartier and sweeter things during this time of the year, our metabolism requires more energy, especially a higher level of vitamin B1. This is important for metabolizing energy and carbohydrates, as well as for the nerves and the heart.
Contained in:
Whole grain, green beans, oatmeal but also pork. Since Vitamin b1 is water-soluble, it cannot be overdosed.
Vitamin A
Everybody knows that vitamin A supports healthy vision, but it also keeps the mucous membranes healthy (mucous membranes = entry portals for viruses, germs and bacteria) and strengthens the immune system. Apart from that, it’s important for growth and cell formation.
Contained in:
Only in animal products such as liver, eggs, at a preliminary stage (beta-carotin) in sweet potatoes, carrots, broccoli and tomatoes. Since vitamin A is only fat-soluble, you should consult with your GP before substituting it with food supplements. The following great cure, based on tissue mineral salts, is highly recommendable (to be taken for a duration of three to six weeks):
- 3 ferrum phosphoricum D12, in the morning
- 17 manganum sulfuricum D6, at lunchtime
- 11 silicea D12, in the evening
- Adults: 2 tablets each
- Children (under the age of 12): 1 tablet each
Let it melt in your mouth or dissolve it in a glass of water.
- Ferrum:instant remedy for infections and inflammatory diseases. Important for the transport of oxygen, but also for the production of energy in muscles.
- Manganum sulfuricum:involved in almost all metabolic processes in the body and the individual organs.
- Silicea:silicious earth is one of the oldest remedies of mankind and it is important for the structure and consolidation of many tissues. Is has been proven that it impacts the spleen and the lymphatic tissue and that it improves the capabilities of certain immune cells.
Caution: this recommendation does not replace consultation with a medical doctor or an alternative practitioner.
And that’s a wrap.
Many thanks for reading.
We send you warm regards and wish you an autumn filled with bright colors.
Sincerely,
Naturheilzentrum Bottrop
