You have to deal with shorter days and temperatures that quickly change quickly. WATT, specialist in sports integration and more, has developed a series of products designed for this purpose.

The most important elements that we can integrate to cope with the change of season are:

VITAMIN C: the classic vitamin to defend and strengthen the immune system, protects against free radicals and reduces oxidative stress in the cells. For the athlete, vitamin C is important in its ability to contribute to the absorption of other substances and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

VITAMIN D: important for its function of contributing to the normal absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus in the body, as well as contributing to the maintenance of normal bones and normal muscle function; a vitamin that needs the sun and its action to be produced by the body, and inevitably it needs a greater contribution in this season.

GROUP B VITAMINS: all contribute to the proper functioning of the nervous system and to reduce the effects caused by stress, contributing to the synthesis of neurotransmitters, substances that allow the transmission of nerve impulses. They also contribute to the normal function of the immune system and energy metabolism.

VITAMIN E: one of the most powerful antioxidants, which slows down the aging of cells, protecting their membranes and therefore preventing them from being attacked by free radicals. Vitamin E is also essential for energy production and more than one study has shown that it increases muscle power, physical strength and resistance to fatigue.

IRON: it is a trace element that stimulates the immune system., Contributes to normal energy metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue For its absorption, a good supply of vitamin C is important as its intake is influenced through food. It is important not to drink too much coffee or black tea, as the absorption of iron would be inhibited and fatigue would reappear.

MAGNESIUM: Magnesium deficiency can cause fatigue, muscle weakness and cramps combined with irritability and nervousness. On the contrary, its integration, if not present in an adequate diet, allows you to keep tiredness and fatigue under control while maintaining high muscle tone and the sensation of energy, as well as fighting headaches and insomnia. ZINC: this trace element contributes to the strengthening of our immune defenses by maintaining cellular functions and protects against colds, at the same time it promotes the health of skin, hair and nails.
