Why Boost the Immune System in Winter?

_DSC3968

It's peak flu season. You're cold, rugged up and squashed on public transport or in the lift at work. You hear a hacking cough, or feel the droplets of a sneeze land on your neck. No matter how much we try to minimise our exposure to respiratory viruses, it's far more difficult in winter when we spend so much time in close proximity to other people.

On top of this, viruses tend to be more stable in colder and drier conditions, which means they stick around for longer.

The common cold is caused by more than 200 different viruses the most common of which are rhinoviruses (rhino meaning nose). Rhinovirus infections tend to be mild; you might get a sore throat and a head cold lasting just a few days.

Influenza, or the flu, is generally caused by type A or B influenza viruses. The flu is far more aggressive and often includes a fever, fatigue and body aches, in addition to all the classic cold symptoms.

Is this Immune Recharge program right for me?

When it comes to getting sick, there's always an element of bad luck involved. And some people, particularly those with young children or public transport commuters, are likely to come into contact with more viruses.

But you may have noticed that illness often strikes when you're stressed at work, not sleeping properly, or you've been burning the candle at both ends. The health of our immune system plays an important role in determining how we can defend against invading cold and flu viruses. That’s why this program has been designed to give you protection so that if you are exposed, the infection doesn’t last long and the symptoms are mild.
