As the days become shorter and the temperature starts to cool, it’s a good reminder that winter is not too far away, making it a good time to look at supporting your immune system for the colder months ahead. 

Staying healthy and avoiding seasonal ills and chills over the cooler months can be difficult. Winter typically means more time spent indoors at a time when seasonal bugs are more easily spread – this can lead to extra pressure on your immune system. Luckily, there are several lifestyle choices you can incorporate to support your immune system and natural immune defences.

Maintain an active lifestyle

It can be hard in the colder months to maintain an active lifestyle, but lack of exercise during these months can greatly contribute to the drop in your immune system. Make time for your usual exercise routine, no matter how cold or busy you are, to help keep your immune system in shape.    

Get enough sleep

Regardless of the season, make sleep a priority! Getting six to eight hours of sleep as an adult is vital to support your immune system, health and wellbeing.  

Remember your fruit and vegetables

Fruit and vegetables are packed with nutrients to support your health. While it’s tempting during the winter to fall into a less healthy pattern, keep in mind that food can impact your energy level and your immune system. Make sure that treats are occasional and that healthy foods are still a part of your daily routine.
