Tips to help you get through the fall
You can take a number of measures to counteract the effects of autumn.
First of all, make sure that you continue to go outside regularly despite the bad weather. Sitting inside all day only increases the chance that you will catch someone else's cold. Moreover, it undermines your resistance. You can dress well to the worse weather conditions. So go out regularly to the beach or in the forest for a breath of fresh air. In any case, make sure you keep moving enough and catch the sun when it shines.
The lack of sunlight can cause a shortage of vitamin D. Especially if you don't go outside often in the fall, it is best to take Vitamin D. You can also take a combination of vitamins in the form of multivitamin tablets.
Also make sure that you continue to eat healthily. So eat a varied diet, use lots of fresh vegetables and also eat oily fish regularly. We get important vitamins from our food (including vitamin B and C) and other substances that keep us healthy and alert. To make sure that you and your family get all the daily vitamins you need, you can always supplement your diet with vitamin C tablets or multivitamins.
You can further support your immunity by using medicinal substances. For example, with purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), which helps build your resistance and prevents respiratory infections and colds. Supplements also help with probiotics and Omega 3 to help your body and mind get through the fall better. Omega 3 also has a positive effect on your skin, which also has to endure a lot in changing circumstances.
