๐ Five Ways to Support Your Immune System This Autumn
As the weather becomes cooler and we begin spending more time indoors, looking after your general health can help your immune system function normally.
Here are five simple habits to focus on:
1๏ธโฃ Prioritise quality sleep
Consistent, restful sleep supports your bodyโs natural defence and recovery processes. Try to maintain a regular bedtime routine wherever possible.
2๏ธโฃ Eat a balanced, varied diet
Include plenty of fruit and vegetables, wholegrains and varied sources of protein. No single food can โboostโ your immune system, but good nutrition provides the nutrients your body needs.
3๏ธโฃ Keep your body moving
Regular walking, cycling, swimming or other moderate activity can support your overall physical and mental wellbeing.
4๏ธโฃ Stay properly hydrated
It can be easy to drink less when the weather becomes cooler. Continue drinking regularly throughout the day and increase your fluid intake when exercising or feeling unwell.
5๏ธโฃ Check which vaccinations are appropriate for you
Vaccinations can help protect against seasonal illnesses such as flu. Eligibility and individual recommendations vary, so speak to a healthcare professional for personalised advice.
There is no instant way to โboostโ immunity, but small, consistent habits can help support your overall health throughout autumn and winter.
