Wintertime is immune time

With the arrival of winter comes not only the frosty cold, but also a time when your immune system is particularly challenged. But instead of just fearing the negative aspects of winter, we should take the opportunity to support our immune system and start the cold season well prepared.

The winter season offers us the opportunity to pay more attention to our diet. We can support our immune system by eating vitamin-rich foods such as fruit, vegetables and nuts. In particular, we should regularly consume vitamin C and the trace elements zinc and selenium in our diet. In addition, vitamin D is a real "all-rounder" during the sunless and shorter days and also makes a valuable contribution to the functioning of the immune system! We should also spend enough time in the fresh air and integrate physical exercise into our everyday lives in order to stay fit and active.

The importance of adequate rest and relaxation should not be underestimated either. A good night's sleep and stress reduction help our body to regenerate and cope better with the challenges of winter. So let's use the winter season to give our immune system the attention it needs and strengthen ourselves and our immune system for the coming months.
