Health: how to eat well in winter without gaining too much fat? – (France 2)
With winter coming, be careful of overdoing lunch and dinner. Doctor and journalist Damien Mascret, present on the 13 Heures set, Friday November 10, explains how to treat yourself reasonably.
Do we need more fat and calories in winter? “In theory, yes, because we say that more calories are needed to produce heat. But, but in reality, no, because in winter we protect ourselves from the cold“, explains, on the set of 13 Heures, the doctor and journalist Damien Mascret, Friday November 10. Another preconceived idea is that we eat less in winter than in summer. According to a study carried out on more than 18,000 Germans, from In autumn, calorie consumption decreases, and even more so in winter.
Fatty fish and plants
What foods to choose when it’s cold? Think about the protein ration: meat, dairy products, fish, eggs, but also fruits and vegetables, which contain “minerals and vitamin C […] and fiber“. Oily fish is particularly recommended. Plants such as thyme, cumin, or garlic can be added to dishes, especially in soups.
