The Oronalys laboratory offers practical advice and effective solutions to boost your natural defences.
1. Eat a balanced, nutrient-rich diet
Diet plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of the immune system. In winter, opt for :
- Fruit and vegetables rich in vitamins C and A (citrus fruit, kiwi fruit, carrots, broccoli)
- Foods rich in zinc and selenium (nuts, seeds, seafood, legumes)
- Probiotics found in yoghurts and fermented foods to support the intestinal flora.
Adequate hydration is also essential, even in winter.
2. Maintain regular physical activity
Sport stimulates blood circulation and contributes to a better distribution of immune cells. Try moderate activities such as brisk walking, yoga or cycling, even in cold weather.
3. Get enough sleep
Quality sleep allows the body to regenerate and strengthen its defences. Try to sleep between 7 and 8 hours a night and keep regular hours.
4. Manage stress
Chronic stress weakens the immune system. Relaxation techniques such as meditation, deep breathing or cardiac coherence can help.
5. Think about food supplements
To make up for any deficiencies, food supplements can be considered:
- Vitamin D, essential in winter due to the lack of sunshine
- Magnesium to combat fatigue
- Plant extracts such as echinacea or ginseng, known for their immunostimulant properties.
Before starting any treatment, seek the advice of a health professional.
Boosting your immune system in winter means taking simple steps and adopting a healthy lifestyle. The Oronalys laboratory can help you find the right solutions to maintain your well-being all year round. Don't hesitate to consult our experts for personalised advice.
