Fight Cold & Flu Season with Nature’s Answer

Why Are There More Illnesses in the Winter?

People are more susceptible to colds and flu in the winter months due to a combination of external and environmental factors. For starters, the colder season often keeps us indoors, where we share confined spaces and recirculated air with others—creating the perfect conditions for viruses to spread. Additionally, many viruses, such as influenza, are more stable and thrive in cooler temperatures, with 5 degrees Celsius being particularly favourable for their survival.

Changes in humidity also play a role; in drier conditions, airborne virus- carrying droplets linger longer, increasing the likelihood of inhalation, whereas in humid climates, these droplets tend to coalesce and fall to the ground more quickly. Internal factors can further exacerbate our vulnerability. Shorter daylight hours and less time spent outdoors during winter can lead to a drop in vitamin D levels, which are crucial for a healthy immune system. Coupled with the added stress of holiday preparations, disrupted routines, and reduced physical activity, it’s no surprise that our natural defences may weaken.

Thankfully, nature offers a range of solutions to bolster our immunity, as well as aid a speedy recovery should we fall ill to a virus. By incorporating immune-boosting botanicals and adopting healthy lifestyle changes, you can strengthen your body and stay ahead of seasonal illnesses.
