From March 18, the Orthodox holiday begins for believers - Great Lent. During this time, people follow a certain diet.
However, nutritionists believe that giving up certain foods under conditions of stress and lack of sleep can have a negative impact on the body.
In order not to harm the body during Lent, it is important to take vitamin and mineral complexes. The Moscow Agency provides details with reference to nutritionist Tatyana Solntseva.
It is noted that in addition to taking vitamins, it is important to correctly calculate the diet for each day. To do this, it is necessary to comply with protein standards, eat foods with a high vitamin content.
According to Solntseva, you can use calorie calculators to count calories. Kitchen scales and reference books of the chemical composition of foods can also help in creating the right diet.
On permitted days, she advised including seafood, nuts, avocados, and soy in the diet.
In addition, the doctor recommended drinking smoothies with added greens and eating foods with a moderate amount of carbohydrates.
She concluded that one should not enter into and exit the fast all at once, but gradually.
