THE SNACKIN' SEASON

RELATED CONTENT

During the winter months many people also seem to turn to sweeter and/or starchier diets. And—since more time is devoted to games, reading, and other indoor leisure pursuits during the cold part of the year—folks have a tendency to snack more,

Such impromptu eating habits can create, among other things, a deficiency in the minerals needed for the essential action of certain enzymes that break down and metabolize the nutritious foods we do eat. Furthermore, the older men and women get, the more they may have to rely on enzymes in their diets ... rather than the supply their bodies produce. However, enzymes are generally destroyed when they encounter any heat higher than body temperature, so—since we eat more cooked foods in winter—it's no wonder a "cold season" seems to occur during the chilly months.

Fortunately, all such essential nutrients —plus the equally vital protein, iron, and B-complex vitamins—can be easily obtained in a carefully planned winter diet ... or through the use of well-balanced vitamin and mineral supplements, which (if taken on a regular basis) can do a great deal to stave off or at least minimize the miseries that winter or a change in seasons often brings.
