Why Do We Get Sick During Cold and Flu Season?
The main reason people get sick during cold and flu season is that they spend a lot more time together indoors, heading back to school or work after summer vacations, which increases exposure to germs. Cold weather weakens our immune system, making us even more susceptible to getting sick. Stressful situations can also impact our immunity, increasing the chances of getting sick.
So, how do you avoid getting sick? Here are some strategies that can help you strengthen your immune system during cold and flu season.
Things You Can Do to Avoid Getting Sick
- Eat Well: Focus on a whole foods diet that is low in sugar and carbohydrates, avoiding processed & inflammatory foods, and high in protein and healthy fats to keep your body healthy all the time.
- Sleep Well: Getting enough good quality sleep (7-9 hours per night) is essential for your immune system to function properly.
- Drink Plenty of Water: Dehydration can weaken your immune system, so make sure you’re drinking plenty of water throughout the day.
- Take Supplements: Consider taking everyday supplements, including Vitamin D, Probiotics, Vitamin C, Zinc, and Quercetin to boost your immune system.
- Reduce Stress: Actively manage and reduce stress in your life as stress can have a major impact and make you more susceptible to illness.
- Get Outside Every Day: Spend at least 20-30 minutes in the fresh air every day as it can do wonders for your immune system.
- Practice Positivity & Gratitude: A positive attitude and gratitude can greatly improve your physical health, so focus on the good things in your life.
