Strengthen your resistance for the autumn-winter period

However, health problems are not all. How do you take care of yourself and strengthen your immune system? Lower air temperatures, more frequent rainfall, and less sunshine often go hand in hand with lower mood.

1. Autumn and winter and reduced immunity

This is mainly due to the fact that the air in the rooms is dry and the low temperature outside the window is not conducive to regular ventilation. Low temperatures and unfavorable weather generally do not encourage outdoor activities, which greatly affects physical activity. Unfortunately, in autumn and winter there are significantly fewer of them, which can greatly affect immunity and protection against germs. However, proper nutrition plays a key role in the context of the immune system. After a few months of full sunshine and dry season, the temperature of the nutrient-rich season is greatly reduced.

2. Vitamins and minerals

Kurugol et al. 2007; H. Rao, K. Wang et al., 2020); vitamin C is one of the most frequently cited dietary ingredients, which is attributed to having a positive effect on the proper functioning of the immune system. Josling 2002;H. Kim and al. 2022); amine D has been mainly associated with maintaining healthy and strong bones, but is also important for immunity. Li-Ng and al., 2009; however, its deficiency increases the risk of disease (P. V. Wardoro 2009; C. Wardro 2010). Its function is important for the development of immunity of both children and adults (Z. 2011; G. Rowland 2011; M. M. W. TX. has been studied to help in the treatment of severe and severe infections, and in the context of recent studies, it has been shown that there is a significant reduction in the risks of infection (M. R. Walker's symptoms and symptoms of chronic kidney disease).

3. Omega fatty acids

This is primarily due to their immune-regulating properties. Caldera 2007; S. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are commonly referred to as healthy lipids that allow you to normalize cholesterol levels and support the proper functioning of the heart and brain. This means that omega acids interact with macrophages, neutrophils, T and B lymphocytes and a number of other cells that participate in an immune response directed against microbes (P.C. Gerez et al. 2019).

4. In addition, it is important to ensure that users are aware of the risks associated with the use of probiotics

For example, good microbiome health qualitative and quantitative minimizes the chance of developing pathogenic microbes. It is also worth noting that disorders of the gut microbial flora (so-called dysbiosis) caused by e.g. antibiotic therapy, mostly lead to deterioration of immunity. Luoto et al. 2014). Miller et al., 2019). For a long time, it has been believed that intestinal microbiomes play an extremely important role in the proper functioning of the organism. In addition, the intestine microbiota is necessary for the synthesis of certain vitamins and to support the introduction of toxic compounds. In one of the studies conducted, it may have been observed that senior researchers have observed the effectiveness of antibacterial antibodies in a number of new infections (e.g., bacteria, viruses and fungi).

5. It's grass

Nevertheless, it is hard to deny that some plant ingredients contain valuable active ingredients, are used to treat certain ailments, and may be helpful for immunity. Herbal medicines and dietary supplements have many supporters and opponents alike. Phytotherapy, phytopharmacology, or simply herbal medicine have been considered an alternative form of medicine for many years.

6. It's a purple cart

Shah et al. 2007) found that the use of herbal preparations reduced the frequency of a cold and shortened its duration. Also known as echinacea, it is often cited as a plant that supports the treatment and prevention of the cold.

7. It's a long shredded cucumber

Asif et al., 2015). Jalaluddin et al. 2019) or H. pylori infection (H.M. extremely often listed as an anti-inflammatory plant, however, turmeric extract may also exhibit antimicrobial activity, e.g. in cases of tooth disease (M.

8. It's an African pelargonium

Chuchalin 2005; H. Additionally, the results of antibiotic therapy were not particularly different from those of African pelargonium extract. Among study participants (A.G. Matthys 2003) the administration of extract from African peargonium not only reduced the intensity of symptoms and shortened recovery time.
