Autumn is the time for vegetables and fruits that become a real find. Usually, by November, Russians begin to experience seasonal illnesses. Some rush to the pharmacy at the first signs of malaise, while others strengthen their immunity with vegetables and fruits. In November, there are many of them, and all are beneficial.
Among the most valuable vegetables in November, experts highlight carrots, beets, rutabagas, turnips, radishes, various types of cabbage, radish, potatoes, horseradish, garlic, and celery root. All these products are natural prebiotics.
Dishes made from vegetables can be enriched with greens. Spinach, parsley, and arugula are suitable for this — thanks to them, the food will contain even more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
In November, seasonal fruits rich in health-beneficial substances appear in markets and supermarkets. For example, delicious pomegranates. Their fruits positively affect the heart and blood vessels, the urinary and endocrine systems. They contribute to improved digestion, rejuvenate the skin, and strengthen hair follicles. Pomegranates contain vitamins B5, B6, B12, and K.
Officials referred to persimmons as a “vitamin bomb,” as they are rich in vitamin B5. This substance influences fat metabolism, improves the composition of carbohydrates and proteins, and activates adrenal function. Persimmons contain B vitamins, A, C, as well as potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, iodine, cobalt, and chromium.
November is a month of surprises. Juicy mandarins, oranges, grapefruits, and kiwis arrive from warm countries. One should not forget about familiar fruits. Apples, pears, and plums are a true treasure trove of beneficial substances. Among berries, specialists recommend paying attention to cranberries, figs, and feijoas.
