Nutrients Required For Winters

Winter reduces physical activities. People love eating and spending leisure time during it. If you are living in any hilly areas you would love to take rest under lukewarm sunlight.

To avoid cold people tend to eat more than usual especially carbohydrate rich meals that store as a stubborn fat in absence of proper physical activity.  Also you drink too many hot drinks like coffee which contains caffeine. Caffeine is good to stimulate your mental alertness no doubt but more than recommended intakes can lead to various health issues like skin rashes, itching, insomnia, digestion issues, and many more. You are full of carbs but compromise your necessity for vitamins. If you are unable to get vitamins from the natural sources, include multivitamin capsules in your diet.
