When the temperature drops, so can our immune defences. Between chilly weather, more time spent indoors, and greater exposure to bugs, winter is a great time to focus on immune health. The good news? There are simple, research-informed ways to support your body—starting with the right nutrients.
Why Winter Can Challenge Immune Function
- Less sunlight may affect vitamin D levels
- Cold, dry air can impact the respiratory tract
- Spending more time indoors may increase exposure to everyday immune stressors
- Holiday stress and poor sleep can take a toll
Key Ways to Support Winter Wellness
1. Prioritise Rest and Sleep
Restorative sleep helps maintain healthy immune system function.
2. Eat Nutrient-Dense Whole Foods
Focus on vitamin C, zinc, antioxidants, and healthy fats from your diet.
3. Keep Stress in Check
Managing ongoing stress supports overall wellbeing.
4. Supplement When Needed
Targeted nutrient support may help maintain immune health during times of increased demand.
