After a brilliant month of December marked by a thaw that was as pleasant for the body as it was worrying for the planet, France settled in for the harsh winter of January. In addition to the low temperatures -and for once lower than normal for the season-, we regret the lack of sun.
Indeed, lately, if the sun has shone, it is only because of its absence. For example, from Monday morning to Friday night, Paris did not experience a minute of sunshine. And the rest of the country has not been better, except for certain coasts.
However, the sun is missed and an entire organism depopulates. Thus, the lack of light hinders our production of vitamins -especially vitamin D-, and of a crucial hormone for the regulation, balance and well-being of the person: serotonin.

The issue is especially important with regard to vitamin D. It is true that it does not magically descend from the sun to us, but the body normally produces it by capturing UV rays.
The newspaper thus recommends a cure of vitamins C and D -whose virtue is to strengthen the immune system- but also iron (an element capable of reducing fatigue), as well as magnesium and Omega 3. If we speak of a “cure” it is because Of course, it is possible to find vitamins and mineral salts in different supplements and capsules.
• Think or reconsider your diet
The easiest way, however, is to think about your diet. We can already bet on nuts, almonds and hazelnuts, which contain minerals, fatty acids, carbohydrates and proteins. As for the famous vitamin D, we can resort to salmon, herring, anchovies, mackerel. If you don’t have a seafood palate, you might prefer ham, egg yolk, butter.
However, no diet is suitable for vegans. This American study published in November 2018 in the specialized journal New England Journal of Medicineand quoted here, he ordered it, recommending to this public the consumption of mushrooms and orange juice.
current woman it points in a definite direction to eliminate an additional vitamin, B9: it is easily found in green vegetables and citrus fruits.
Finally, the weather is also part of it. This weekend, the sun will reappear over a large northern and western third, staying in the south. Advantageous situation that will last a few days. At least until Tuesday.
