Year after year, it turns out that some people get different infections during cool, humid autumn weather, while others remain healthy, despite the epidemic, fronts, cold and rain. Why is this happening? This question often bothers many of us. The answer lies in our immune system. Let’s not leave the fate of the decision how our body will deal with autumn challenges. We can do a lot ourselves to support our immunity!<\/span><\/p>\n The autumn-winter season is sometimes when our bodies become more susceptible to infections. This is because our immune system is exposed to many challenges. The epidemics of influenza, colds and other viral infections make us we have to be prepared. Year after year, we observe that some of us remain healthy while others suffer from various diseases. Why is this happening?<\/p>\n The immune system is the key to fighting infections. However, it is not the same for everyone. For some people it is too weak, while others are stable and strong. Depending on the condition of our immune system, we can get or survive this period in good health. But what determines the strength of our immunity?<\/p>\n Strengthening our immunity begins with a diet. Flavonoids and vitamin C play a key role in building our defensive system. Flavonoids, whose sources are, among others Beets, purple onions, red cabbage, carrots, pumpkin, black grapes, red wine, blueberries and rowan are powerful antioxidants. Unfortunately, we usually eat too little of them.<\/p>\n In addition to known vitamins, there are smaller, but equally important ingredients that can work wonders for our immunity. Routine and hesperidine are bioflavonoids with great potential. They help strengthen blood vessels, which is extremely important in the autumn and winter when we are exposed to infections.<\/p>\n Acerola is another treasure of nature. Rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene and B vitamins, is a real support for our immunity. Therefore, to take care of our immune system, it is worth reaching for products containing these ingredients or appropriate supplements.<\/p>\n Zinc is one of the key microelements that plays a fundamental role in defense against upper respiratory tract infections. During breathing, the respiratory tract surface encounters many pathogens. The cells located there are important defensive bastions, optimally preventing bacteria and viruses from entering and reproducing. These processes are supported by zinc -dependent enzymes.<\/p>\n In the absence of zinc, the division of immune cells, i.e. white blood cells, is inhibited, which can lead to weakening of immune functions. Appropriate zinc supply is particularly important for antibodies producing cells so that immunity can develop. To stabilize this process, adults should take about 15 mg of zinc a day, which provides 1 tablet of chelated zinc a day.<\/p>\n Strengthening immunity does not have to be complicated or expensive. Here are some practical tips that will help you prepare for the autumn season:<\/p>\n Try to eat a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits. Try to include products rich in vitamin C, bioflavonoids, routine and hesperidine in your diet.<\/p>\n If it is difficult for you to provide all the necessary ingredients from the diet, consider supplementation. Preparations containing vitamin C, bioflavonoids, routine, hesperidin and zinc can be a great support for your immune system.<\/p>\n Regular physical activity helps strengthen immunity. A walk, jogging, yoga – choose the activity that suits you.<\/p>\n Sufficient sleep and reduction of stress are key factors affecting our immunity. Try to sleep at least 7-8 hours a day and look for ways to deal with stress.<\/p>\n Cigarettes and alcohol can weaken our immunity. Try to limit or completely give up these harmful habits.<\/p>\n Summary<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Preparing for the autumn season is the key to maintaining health and good condition. Our immune system is our best ally in the fight against infections. Let’s take care of him, providing him with the necessary nutrients, such as vitamin C, bioflavonoids, routine, hesperidine and zinc. Thanks to a proper diet, supplementation and healthy life habits, we can enjoy good fitness throughout autumn and winter.<\/p>\n Bibliography:<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n “The role of nutrition in enhancing immunity in aging.” Clinics in Geriatric Medicine. 2011; 27 (3): 341-356.<\/p>\n “Zinc and Immune Function: The Biological Basis of Alted Resistance to Infection.” American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 1998; 68 (2): 447S-463S.<\/p>\n “Bioflavonoids: a review of the natural history and propets of pigments in plants.” The Natural History. 2006; 70 (3): 103-116.<\/p>\n “Vitamin C and Immune Function.” Nutrients. 2017; 9 (11): 1211.<\/p>\n “Vitamin C and Immune Function.” Pnas. 2013; 110 (3): 1044-1049.<\/p>\n Get ready for the autumn adventure in health and discover what simple steps you can take to gain indestructible fall resistance!
