Fighting Winter Illnesses
Cold temperatures increase the risk of infection and inflammation:
Low temperatures and humidity levels have been shown to increase the transmission of respiratory viral disease such as the common flu and COVID-19 .
Increased inflammation has also been linked to decreased outdoor temperatures; people with arthritis tend to feel more pain in the winter.
Changing seasonal factors such as sunlight and temperature affect Vitamin D and the immune system:
Our bodies are less exposed to sunlight in the winter which has a direct effect on the production of Vitamin D by the skin. As well as facilitating calcium absorption and promoting bone health, Vitamin D plays an important role in strengthening our immune system. Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with many immune disorders.
Vitamins and trace minerals such as Zinc and Selenium boost the immune system:
- Micronutrients including vitamins and trace minerals are essential for maintaining a strong immune system.
- A recent study suggests that Vitamin D, Zinc and Selenium supplements may mitigate the progression of COVID-19.
Getting little extra help to stay well in the winter:
In addition to:
- Eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables
- Supplementing your diet with VItamin D (10 mg a day) and Zinc and Selenium
- Staying hydrated
- Exercising
Our healthy blends packed with antioxidants can give you that little extra immune boost:

Turmeric has the ability to modulate the immune system in addition to its anti-inflammatory properties.
