Stay Ahead of Winter Colds: Lung & Immune Support

Cold season can feel cozy on the outside, but it’s tough on your lungs and immune system. As temperatures drop, the air gets drier, we stay indoors more, and viruses spread faster. That means your respiratory tract becomes the first “front line.”

Why respiratory issues spike in winter

Three things happen at the same time:

1. Drier air dries your airways.
   Your nose and throat lose moisture, which weakens the protective barrier that normally traps germs. Dry airways make it easier for viruses to stick and multiply.
2. More indoor time increases exposure.
   Crowded rooms, closed windows, and shared air mean infections travel faster from one person to another.
3. Less sunlight lowers vitamin D.
   Vitamin D is critical to immune regulation. In winter, many people get less sun, so vitamin D levels tend to fall—making immune defence less efficient.

Daily respiratory precautions that actually work

• Wash hands well and often, especially after being in public and before eating.

• Avoid touching your face (eyes, nose, mouth are the main entry points).

• Ventilate indoor spaces whenever possible, even 5–10 minutes of fresh air helps.

• Mask in crowded indoor areas if you’re in a high-risk setting or feeling run down.

• Rest early if symptoms start. The first 24–48 hours matter most.

How to Strengthen Your Immune System

Immune health isn’t one magic product. It’s a steady stack of basics:

• Sleep
  Your immune system repairs and resets at night. Aim for consistent bedtime and 7–9 hours when possible.
• Hydration
  Warm fluids keep airways moist and help clear mucus naturally. Winter rule: sip all day, not just when thirsty.
• Nutrition
  Food is where immunity is built. Prioritize colourful vegetables and fruits quality protein minerals like zinc and selenium, fibre and fermented foods for gut-immune strength
