Eating in the cold season: five tips from the sanatorium

The tips

The sanatorium puts them like this:

• Do not go hungry. Winter food should carry more calories than summer food, through fish, poultry and meat. Dropping carbohydrates weakens immunity
• Vitamins, particularly A and E: vitamin E helps protect skin from wind and frost
• Water: at least 1.5 litres of fluid a day even in winter, of which at least a litre is plain water
• Something hot at every meal — a hot dish or a warm drink
• Variety: rotate foods daily and eat in smaller, more frequent meals

How this works at the sanatorium

Meals are three a day, dietary, within standard therapeutic diets and ordered from a menu. Dishes are cooked in the sanatorium's own production kitchen and checked by a dietitian before service.
