Week of popularization of the use of berries and fruits in winter

Berries and fruits are healthy foods, and in winter it is a drop of sunny summer on a plate.

From December 19 to December 25, the "Week of popularization of the consumption of fruits and berries in winter" started in the sanatorium "Beautifully". Thanks to meetings with doctors of the sanatorium, lectures, conversations, printed materials, vacationers learned what amount of fruits and berries is sufficient in the human diet.

Lovers of garden gifts are ready to crunch fruits and berries constantly, without needing any recommendations. And for those who do not consider fruits and berries as the basis of the diet and have not been accustomed to them since childhood, experts have developed a simple formula - at least 5 servings of fruits and berries per day, at any time of the year. Especially in winter we need to support our body. So, every person over 5 years old, in order to stay healthy, should eat at least 5 servings of different berries and fruits a day. One serving for each person is the volume of fruits and berries that can fit in his handful. A handful of a five-year-old child is much smaller than a handful of an adult man, and their portions naturally vary according to size and body weight. One serving of an adult, on average, is, for example, 2 apples, a pear, a bunch of grapes, 4-5 plums, a glass of juice. Five servings for an average adult, in weight equivalent, amount to about 300 – 400 grams of fruits and berries per day, which corresponds to the WHO recommendation.

The fruits and berries that come to the tables of our vacationers are grown in the gardens of the sanatorium, environmentally friendly. And skillful chefs, fulfilling the wishes of customers, bake fragrant apples and pears, prepare fruit salads, freshly squeezed juices that remind us of a bright summer in winter.

Come to the "Beautiful" for health!
