Like every year, winter brings with it many diseases and epidemics that are transmitted hysterically, from person to person. But have you ever thought of preventive ways to spend a pleasant winter away from these diseases and the resulting symptoms of tiring. Here's my dear reader these dietary tips:

First, it is necessary to maintain a good percentage of vitamin D in the blood because of its prominent role in activating the immune system and reduce the risk of flu and colds. This vitamin is usually obtained through sun exposure for about a quarter of an hour a day. If sunlight is not possible, especially in the winter, the body should be provided with foods rich in it, especially foods of animal origin such as fish, eggs, dairy products, cheese, as well as vegetarian foods such as mushrooms.

Second, you should eat two servings a day of fruit and three servings of vegetables rich in vitamins and minerals, especially those that contain a high percentage of vitamin C, such as lemon, kiwi, red pepper and parsley. According to studies, this magic vitamin reduces colds and the risk of infection by 45%.

Third: Maintain a healthy diet away from sugars and fats. The latter can adversely affect the immune system and can paralyze its functioning and make you more susceptible to diseases not only colds but also chronic diseases such as diabetes and malignant tumors such as cancer.

Fourth: get a rest and sleep. Researchers have shown that work stress, anxiety and insomnia may lower the functioning of the immune system and improve the performance of the latter if seven hours of night sleep.

Fifth: Maintain a minimum level of sport. Half an hour of brisk walking or jogging a day help stimulate blood circulation and strengthen immunity.
