Nutrition specialist
Khadijeh Rahmani in interview with DanaKhabar said "In the cold season the body’s
energy does not increase. If people do not adopt a good diet and dress well the
cold will make their body shiver which indicates that the body suffers energy
shortage.”

"They must not abandon
carrot, pumpkin, and dark vegetables in the cold season. They must also use
warm food and drinks to keep their body temperature high,” she added.
She further said that
having fruits of the citrus genus will increase the amount of vitamin C in the
body and help it fight the cold.
"Also, using soup, warm
drinks, and hot seasonings like pepper will build body temperature,” she
maintained.
Vitamins B1 and B6 are
also highly important for the functioning of muscles, therefore their shortage
will cause the limbs to shiver in the cold, she asserted.
