Frequent Colds & Flu Prevention
Building Everyday Resilience
Why it matters:
If you catch every cold that comes around, your immune system may need extra support. Frequent infections are often a sign of nutrient gaps, stress, or poor sleep. Strengthening immunity naturally helps the body respond faster and recover more easily.
How it works:
- Vitamin C → boosts white blood cell activity and acts as a powerful antioxidant.
- Zinc → shortens the duration of colds by improving immune cell function.
- Vitamin D → regulates immune defense and lowers the risk of respiratory infections.
- Elderberry & Echinacea → plant compounds traditionally used to reduce cold and flu symptoms.
Foods that help:
- Citrus fruits, kiwi, bell peppers → Vitamin C
- Pumpkin seeds, chickpeas, shellfish → Zinc
- Fatty fish, eggs, fortified foods → Vitamin D
- Elderberry syrup, echinacea tea
Lifestyle tip:
Regular handwashing, staying active, and quality sleep are as important as nutrients for preventing colds.
Helpful for:
- People who get sick often
- Slow recovery from colds
- Seasonal immune support
