Health Tips for Winter
Practical tips from our pharmacy on how to stay healthy during the cold season. From immune support to proper skin care.
Winter poses special challenges for our immune system. With a few simple measures, you can strengthen your defenses and stay healthy through the cold season.
Boosting Your Immune System
A strong immune system is the best defense against colds and flu. Here are our recommendations:
Don't Forget Vitamin D
During the winter months, the body produces less vitamin D as we get less sunlight. Supplementation may be beneficial – feel free to ask us at the pharmacy.
Regular Exercise
Even in cold weather, outdoor exercise is important. A daily 30-minute walk can work wonders.
Adequate Sleep
The immune system regenerates during sleep. Aim for 7-8 hours of restful sleep.
Winter Skin Care
The cold air outside and dry heating air inside stress our skin. Here are some tips:
- Use rich creams with urea or glycerin
- Drink enough water (at least 1.5-2 liters daily)
- Ventilate regularly to increase humidity
Check Your Medicine Cabinet
Now is a good time to prepare your medicine cabinet for winter:
- Thermometer – is it still working?
- Pain relievers and fever reducers
- Cough remedies and throat lozenges
- Nasal spray (decongestant)
- Wound ointment and bandages
