Such an unbalanced diet leads to obesity, vitamin deficiency, poor skin condition, brittle nails. Try to eat as many fresh vegetables and fruits as possible. In winter, when it is very cold and damp, buy citrus fruits (grapefruit, oranges, tangerines, lemons). In summer, give preference to cherries, apricots, strawberries, raspberries. Make salads from cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, cabbage. At the same time, reduce the number of fried foods. Ideally, get a steamer, thanks to which the food will retain its beneficial properties.
