Now that the colder weather and cold and flu season are approaching, you need to ensure that your defenses are ready to defend you from the viruses and bacteria that will be out there.
The immune system has mechanisms to defend it from “invaders”, and, if it is working normally, it can respond by attacking the viruses of common respiratory infections.
The problem arises when he is more debilitated and cannot respond effectively, leaving his body more vulnerable to attacks , with a longer duration of symptoms or with more serious conditions .
So what to do to prevent yourself, be prepared and spend the Autumn and Winter in the best way - the answer is: take care of yourself !
Yes, I know, you don't have time for anything and you're always on the run, but organize your week and you'll notice immediate improvements:
1. Take Care of Your Food
Plan meals for the week and, whenever possible, prepare nutritious and balanced menus that include vegetables and fruit . Avoid processed foods, alcohol and tobacco . You can take your lunchbox to work - it's healthier and cheaper!
2. Hydrate
Drink at least 1.5l of water or unsweetened tisanes during the day.
3. Practice Exercise
Move, for your health! Put your phone down and go, 30 minutes a day is enough.
Practice some sport, play ball with your children, run in the park, go for walks. Regular physical exercise increases the amount of white blood cells that help fight disease.
4. Sleep Well
Maintain a sleep routine , trying to always go to bed at the same time and sleeping at least 6 to 8 hours a day. Before going to bed, turn off all screens (mobile phones, television), turn off the bedroom lights (light interferes with melatonin production and its action) and...sweet dreams! Lack of sleep increases the production of cortisol which lowers immunity.
5. Wash Your Hands
Yes, the pandemic is over, but washing your hands is still very important to prevent diseases such as respiratory infections. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water to eliminate bacteria and other microorganisms. If you don't have water because you're out of the house, you can use gel alcohol.
6. Avoid Enclosed Spaces and Crowds
If you can't help it, wear a mask to cover your nose and mouth.

Choose, with the help of a health professional, a supplement that helps keep your immune system healthy and your immunity high. It should contain Vitamins C and D and minerals such as Zinc.
