- Upon returning to the city apartment, you need to follow the quality of sleep. It is advisable to go to bed and get up at the same time. It is necessary to control and limit the TV viewing time. Many have no televisions at all in dachas or simply see it. And it is good. In the city, too, you do not need all your free time to spend in front of the blue screen.
This year, the summer was not sunny, and we were not able to eat vitamin D, which supports our emotional background. It is this vitamin that helps us experience the shortage of sunlight in the fall and winter. And only in the spring we happen seasonal depressions and avitaminosis. This year, this unpleasant period may occur earlier. Therefore, returning to the city, it is recommended to start receiving vitamin D (after consulting with a specialist) or include products that contain vitamin D. This is dairy products, as well as eggs, cod liver, beef liver, herring, mackerel, red fish.
Also, no need to forget about vitamin C, which is necessary to support immunity. The best source of this vitamin is sauerkraut. A large amount of vitamin C is contained in a rag of a rosehip, Bulgarian pepper, black currant and sea buckthorn, greenery, citrus, garlic and many other products. But from the habit of drinking in the evenings, tea with jam is better to abandon, as there are many sugar in this delicacy, from which the carbohydrate exchange can change, especially in the elderly. Do not think that in the country you have a vegetable and fruit for a whole year, be sure to keep more vegetable food in your diet.
Take care of motor activity. Over the city had to work a lot, walking. After you moved to the city, there should be no sharp drop in physical exertion. Enter the habit of hiking before bedtime and hiking to the store.
