Most people are mistaken in believing that during the summer and early autumn they can build up a certain supply of vitamins in their body so that they won’t get sick until spring.
This is a wrong approach that is misleading. The fact is that vitamins are not accumulated, but absorbed, and their sources should be in the human diet all year round.
That is, it is necessary to strengthen the immune system both in summer and in winter, but in the cold season it is a little more difficult to do this.
The right approach
You don't need a prescription for advice, and this article is not about vitamins and diet. You need to fight viruses and bacteria in a comprehensive manner.
Therefore, in addition to eating fresh vegetables, fruits and vitamins, you need to develop the following healthy habits:
- follow a dietary regimen;
- maintain physical activity;
- adhere to a daily routine.
A set of measures can strengthen the immune system without difficulty.
It is also important to remember the beneficial properties of plants and spices. It is not only about lemon and ginger.
Prepare vitamin-rich fruit drinks with cranberries, red and black rowan berries, currants, raspberries, and sea buckthorn.
All these berries are a source of vitamins and nutrients.
It is also important not to skimp on spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and anise in winter.
And don't forget about honey, dried fruits and nuts.
For reference
Immunity is the ability of an organism to maintain its biological identity by recognizing and removing foreign substances and cells.
